Rotorflight Futaba Setup

Instructions for Futaba Initial Radio and Configurator Setup, this is a generic setup using Futaba T26SZ transmitter and SBUS2 receiver with a Rotorflight FC. This example shows a Nexus; however, the process is the same for any Rotorflight controller. Please choose the SBUS port related to your FC

Wiring​

The simplest is to use a male to male servo lead to connect from the SBUS port on the FBL to the SBUS2 port on your receiver.

Configure the FC​

Next steps are to configure the fbl to receive the SBUS2 signal.

Setup UART ports​

Set the SBUS port to be used for serial rx communication

Setup Receiver​

Then visit the receiver page and configure as follows

Setup Radio​

On the Linkage Menu -> System Type page, make sure you are using a protocol that supports telemetry, like T-FHSS or FASSTest 18ch and that telemetry is enabled. RadioTelemetryOn

Once you have activated telemetry, you have to configure the list of sensors in the Linkage Menu -> Sensor page. The slot assignment and sensor types are important, otherwise your radio won't display the telemetry information correctly. Follow the assignment map and example bellow:

Once your sensors are configured correctly, you should be able to customize your telemetry screen to include the data you want. ConfiguratorSensorsList
