Some naze32 set up questions.

Hay all.
I'll keep it brief, hopefully.
Setting up my receiver with the naze32, I want it as minimal as I can. I've heard about ppm. I'm confused as to how it works, but mainly if my ar6210 will do it? Someone said the spektrum sat receivers do it, does that mean just use the sat RX and connect the 3 wires direct to the board?

Next, do I need a BEC? For the RX? My ESC only have a small one I think. Not sure how to be sure the RX has power but also not give it too much if I go 4s in the future.

Hope you guys can help
I'm stripping my current quad and building it myself differently. Hoping to learn a lot more this way. It was helpful buying one someone else made but its my turn now out of the bits.

Cheers

Different tx and rx....

The Naze is powered by one of the escs, PPM is signals being sent through one line as you can see below. This fc works really well with the taranis since the telemetry info is sent from the board without modification. rx is powered from the ppm connection.

I'm not changing those, I'd rather not use ppm and save a load of dosh.
It's for a racer so barebones is fine in terms or telemetry.
 
Nice vid. Explains a lot for me. I didn't find that vid when I looked around. Good to have all the info in one place.
Pwm is fine, like you say. More wires but works fine.
I might go down the satalite route if I'm low on space
Anyone got any negatives for using a sat RX?
 
Right, got it going a bit. Everything calibrated, only issue I have is it only arms in 'arm/acro mode, but won't in either angle or horizon mode, but it shows a red light. It's the mode screen on baseflight shows green when I switch but the board won't spin up.

Any ideas?
 
From kilby
Arming issues usually come from

Not increasing the endpoints for throttle & rudder I have mine @ +125% => -125% but some people have gotten away with a smaller increase.

the sticks not being centred (zero in via the transmitters subtrim functions NOT the regular trim switches)

If values jump around you can add a deadband value so the Naze ignores the small value changes (shouldn't need a value larger than 3)

There is also what timecop charming called moron_threshold which can prevent arming if the machine is moved while the gyros are calibrating after power up (happened to me when I powered the 250 up while it was sitting on the car boot)

Maybe?
