Transmitter/receiver trouble

[RGMacken]

Okay so the receiver has 5 single wires. Channels 1-5 and one plug with 3 wires a red, black and white.

That's your receiver. If you have PPM turned on then all you need is that one connector with the 3 wires(black, red and white). Just plug that into the set of jumpers pointed to in that picture.........black to the bottom and white to the top...........nothing else.........

 

[RGMacken]

Okay so unplugged everything except the red/black/white and plugged it into the last slot on the receiver. The LibrePilot still shows no activity.

 

[dragger201]

Do you still have two lights on, on your Rx?? Or is it just the red light on solid?

 

[RGMacken]

The receiver has always showed one red led. The other led for the RX is an update led. The FC shows a constant red led and a flashing green led.

 

[dragger201]

Ok, go to your transmitter and check to see that the "PPM Output" is on...........

 

[RGMacken]

I've already set up the TX to be on PPM and iBus.

 

[RGMacken]

The TX shows a signal of 10 when I plug the battery pack into the quad.

It's eithert PPM or iBus..............but you need to make sure that the Tx has turned "Receiver PPM Output" to "on".

"Okay so the receiver has 5 single wires. Channels 1-5 and one plug with 3 wires a red, black and white."

Also, the white wire in the three wire plug is actually channel 1..........then channels 2 thru 6 on the single wire plugs.

 

[RGMacken]

Alright so drop the blue single wire off and move the rest up one slot?

 

[dragger201]

I know some of this seem redundant, especially making sure of "PPM" output status. But I went round and round for the better part of an hour when I switched from PWM to PPM. I kept thinking my Tx/Rx was set to PPM but it wasn't because I wasn't doing the right thing to turn it on............

 

[dragger201]

Alright so drop the blue single wire off and move the rest up one slot?

No........the only thing you should have plugged is the black, red and white plug, nothing else..............just unplug the others for now..........

 

[dragger201]

Alright so drop the blue single wire off and move the rest up one slot?

Your Rx should look like this................

 

[RGMacken]

I went back into the TX again and shows PPM and to the right of thatbid shows I-Bus or S-Bus it is set to I-Bus as of now.

 

[RGMacken]

So with the picture that you sent there shouldn't be any other wires except the single plug with the 3 wires correct? I tried that and there was still no signal from the TX.

 

[dragger201]

I went back into the TX again and shows PPM and to the right of thatbid shows I-Bus or S-Bus it is set to I-Bus as of now.

Can you turn them off??

 

[RGMacken]

Not that I can tell. There doesn't seem to be an option to turn them off. You pick either one or the other.

 

[dragger201]

And you have iBus or PPM turned on in your CC3D?

 

[RGMacken]

I've got it set a PPM + No One shot

 

[dragger201]

Then I'm at a lose, RG.........you should be getting something showing on your software indicating your Tx controls functioning............
