Spektrum Satellite won't enter binding mode

[SimplySteeze]

Hello There,
I hope you are all well.
I am having some issues getting my spektrum satillite to enter binding mode. I am very new to building and programming Racing drones, however I can follow instructions well.
I have a Diatone Tyrant S, supporting a F3 V3 Diatone flight controller. Unfortunately, the satellite receiver needs a 3.3V output, this board only has a 5V output. I have soldered the BEC onto the BAT+ BAT- pads on the flight controller, then I have soldered the 3.3v and Gnd spektrum cables onto the other end of the BEC.

I have followed these instructions.

How to Bind Spektrum Satellite Receivers on BetaFlight for Beginners

[image] This is a short guide that takes you through how to setup your Spektrum receiver in BetaFlight if you are new to the field and don’t know where to start. Tell BetaFlight what type of receiver you’re using After you’ve downloaded BetaFlight, open it up and connect your flight controller (which is hopefully connected to your Spektrum receiver!) to your computer. Once connected to BetaFlight, you need to head over to the ‘Ports’ tab and you’ll see something like this: [image] Depending …

However when I get to the last stage,
“set spektrum_sat_bind = 9”
“save”
I get no flashing at all. I get the same result with and without the battery connected. Also because I cannot find any manuals for this board, I have no idea which UART port I am connected to. I assume it is three based on this quote.

However, on the Diatone V2 manual, it is listed as UART2.

If anyone has any ideas as to why it is not working, please let me know.

From your pic it is connected to uart2 correctly so that is not the issue. Are you sure it’s getting power correctly and that your reciever is dsmX? As in betaflight you you can send bind mode command for different spectrum Rx, such as dsm2 or dsmX etc…

Hi Alex,
I will give it a go. However, with regards to the email I sent you yesterday, I am going to swap out my spektrum system for an FrSky system. It is much less hassle and it will keep my aircraft future proof.
Kind Regards,
Ashley

Yeah, not a bad decision

i’m new to all this i’m haven problems with my diatone taycan. i put in a spektrum spm4650 srxlv2 serial micro receiver and i’m using a spektrum dye and ar410 4 ch receiver. it’s bound to the drone but there is no response when i arm it. in betaflight the bars do not move. but the receiver light is solid some one please help i’ve been trying to fly this drone for 5 months now it’s has never been in the air.

. i put in a spektrum spm4650 srxlv2 serial micro receiver and i’m using a spektrum dye and ar410 4 ch receiver.

Do I understand correctly that you are using two receivers?

Wiring Up Receiver Boards

I have a Spektrum DSMX receiver board which I’m trying to wire up to a mini F405 mamba. The ports are PPM, SBUS and RSSI. Which port do I wire the signal cable to and what is the voltage, 3.3 or 5. Many thanks, regards

I suggest reading this for hooking up the SPM4650 receiver except put your signal wire to on TX pad for UART2.

i’m only using one receiver the spm4650. thanks i’ll try that
