RX protocol – the “language” used for RX and flight controller to communicateĬheck out this tutorial for an overview of different TX and RX protocols.TX protocol – the “language” used for TX and RX to communicate.There are 2 types of communication protocols you should know about: In this section we will give you some basic understanding of the protocols used by Flysky transmitters and receivers. Flysky TX and RX Protocolsĭifferent TX and RX might be capable of different protocols. Realistically you will soon begin to feel limited if you only have 6 channels available, therefore we have only included TX’s with 6 channels or more. There are 4-channel transmitters available from FlySky, but while a 4-channel TX is fine for simple RC cars, boats and basic planes, we really need 6 or more channels to operate a mini quad.Ĭhannels 1 to 4 are used to control the actual movement of the craft, while the rest of the channels are assigned to the switches and pots (potentiometers) on the radio, and are referred to “Auxiliary Channels”, labelled as AUX 1, AUX 2 and so on.Īux channels can be used to activate different flight modes, and control different peripherals on a quadcopter such as a lost model buzzer and LED light. With new technology being updated all the time the amount of functions and peripherals we can control from the transmitter are increasing every day. Which TX should you get?
