Hi everybody, I have no prior FPV experience so if I'm missing something obvious I apologize. I just went out and bought myself a prebuilt Wizard x200. Separately, I bought a FlySky FS-i6. I bound the receiver to the quad and it seemed to be working (The display had all the same numbers and values as the setup video I was following so I assumed it was bound correctly). I connected it to betaflight and was able to spin the motors, however, the stick inputs would not move in the receiver tab. I had the receiver and the flight controller configured for PPM RX Input. I went around online and saw that others were having the same issue so I tried to troubleshoot. I tried configuring it for SBUS Serial Communication (By the way I have no idea what any of this means. As I said, I'm very new.) but still, nothing happened. None of the fixes I found were working. If anyone has any ideas for anything that might help I would really appreciate it. I just want to get this thing in the air.

Can you please run both the "dump" and "diff all" commands in the Betaflight Configurator CLI tab and copy/paste the results back here.

Please also post some photos of the wiring and connections between your receiver and flight controller.

Okay, I have no idea what those commands do but here is the output that I got (Also attached are the pictures) thank you for trying to help:

Your receiver is a PWM receiver. Meaning you can't use signal wire protocol like SBUS, IBUS or PPM. So either we have to wire every channel individually or get a different receiver.

Okay. Can I buy a different receiver, and bind it to the FS-i6 to avoid spending tons of money? I think this one comes with the ready to fly one. Can I buy that and just bind it to my remote?

If you are going to buy a new receiver then I would suggest getting a Fli14+ instead. This is way smaller that the FS-IA6 series of receivers and you don't need all the PWM outputs which are redundant and just take up unnecessary space.

I agree, fli14+ is better for mini quad.

But I only have to buy and bind the receiver correct? Not replace the remote

Yes, correct. The Fli14+ will bind to your existing Flysky FS-i6 transmitter.

Okay, thank you so much for your help. I will update this thread when I get it working.

Okay so, I bought the receiver you guys told me to buy, and it looks like I might need to do some soldering to my FC. I attached some pictures. I just don't want to go in there with my iron if I don't know what I'm doing. Thanks, sorry if this is an obvious question.

On your FC you will see 4 pads with UART3 written next to them. Wire to those pads using the following wiring. GND is the "-" pad, +5V is the "+" pad, and RX is the "RX" pad in that row of 4 pads.



Then run the following commands in the CLI...

Thank you all so much for your help. I connected it to betaflight and ran those commands, and now it works. Unfortunately, I am having some issues with my ESCs, but that is a pretty straight forward fix. I appreciate you guys for helping me.

Looks like you are running analog esc protocol. You likely need to calibrate the ESC.

(16-Aug-2020, 10:39 PM)voodoo614 Wrote: Looks like you are running analog esc protocol. You likely need to calibrate the ESC.

Actually what happened is that while trying to fix this I changed my ESC protocol because I had no idea what I was doing. One of them started smoking and I had to replace it. Unfortunately, I bought a different ESC than the rest, and it starts spinning at a higher throttle, and one of the motors does not spin at all (Not the replaced one. One of the stock ones). I'm going to test the motor, and ESC with a multimeter and then likely replace all of them with some higher quality ESCs because I have heard the stock ones have a tendency to spontaneously combust and I might have to replace them anyway. Any advice?
