so i am building my very first arduino uno quadcopter. The ARDUIN UNO is the flight controller and it will recieve input from the reciever (RX). I was told by a local RC employee that the reciever (ESKY model:000095 EK2-0420 which i got from an old rc helicopter) i am using is D-BUS , and that the arduino does not understand this reciever protocol. i was recommended to use an S-BUS reciever with my arduino!!
basically i would like to know if this reciever i am using is actually D-BUS AND not PWM,PPM or anything else.
i would also like to know if the arduino can understand this reciever's protocol (language)
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED
 
Well it's quite old, everything these days is 2.4GH.

The PPM don't make sense though, looks like a PWM RX.

how can i know for sure weather it is PPM or PWM? i ask you this since each protocol imposes a different wiring method from the RX to the flight controller.
