Advice on how to connect a Flight Ccontroller for a beginner

Hey everyone!!!

I bought a packaged bnf quadcopter set from my local hobby store and I have lost motivation setting it up. I have done the frame assembly but the electronics are quite intimidating. It came with an unknown flight controller that I have never heard of (hobby people super m/r controller). There are no tutorials on how to set up this FC and connect to my receiver and transmitter (tactic ttx650 and tr625).

Should I buy a new FC? or does anyone have any advice on how to connect these things. At this point im pretty frustrated and almost ready to give up the hobby without really trying it in depth.

Any help would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks
 
Although it's quite basic (just one flight mode) it should be rather simple to hook up and then tune. I could not find a channel map for your RX but seeing as ch3 is Throttle I'm assuming it's AETR, 1234.
plug the included throttle adapter between the THR port in the Super Multi-Rotor Controller and the throttle port in your receiver, then plug the flight control adapter between the A.E.R. port in the Super Multi-Rotor Controller and the aileron (yellow wire), elevator (red wire) and rudder (brown wire) ports in your receiver. When making these connections, pay careful attention to the polarity of the different connections, both at the Super Multi-Rotor Controller (refer to the pin-out diagram in the Overview and Mounting section) and your receiver. The aileron, elevator and rudder con

So basically Throttle (3) from your RX will use a 3 wire cable plugged into the FC. You will need 3 single cables from A (1), E (2), and R (4). Those will be coming the the Signal side, I'm assuming it will be marked somewhere on the RX, you don't need anything from +/- pins.

This appears to be the same FC.

 
Wow, whenever someone else is explaining it sounds surprisingly easy! Just goes to show how many different things you can do in this hobby. Thanks so much on the advice!
 
it's a spectrum flight controller.
About 4 years old. But still not much out there on it. Before naze32 came out & that piece of crap is ancient.
Do you have a spectrum Tx to match.
Black ground wires go in the top white in bottom, confirmed on YouTube by
OVRES, if you want to take a look. If you can afford $20 then buy an F3 or F4.
A basic wiring diagram off Google for this.

No it's not just spektrum it handles PWM (as I explained) and SBus too, and for a first timer, just starting out with no soldering skills it's perfect, just plug in connectors. Gotta learn to walk before you can run. :)
 
That's obvious, it says sbus on it.
But the tx he has is spectrum DSM.
So it's compatible. If he had a taranis he could use that also.
 
Soz that's wrong above, the modulation is SLT not dmx(whatever that is)
But your basically covered for most rx's.
Except ibus. I would still get one with a better gyro though. Putting some opto esc's on that may kill it.. Unless there is a way to update it, I don't think so.
But you will never run Dshot or the like.
