Hi, new to FPV drones and was given the above for kit for christmas but i am pulling my hair out as i cannot get past the first page of the vortex wizard.
- The TX & RX are paired in CPPM mode and green light is on.
- I have cleanflight installed and can see lots of data about the drone, and fire off motors etc.
But, no matter what settings i try I cannot see any inputs from the TX on the drone or in cleanflight.
Is it possible that the flight controller board could be broken ? seems unlikely as everything else seems to be working.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I think that is the problem, as the X4R-SB outputs SBUS not CPPM. Fortunately immersionRC have a guide for connecting that RX to the vortex here:

Hope that helps, and if you have any other questions please ask and we can try to help!
Hi Alex, thanks for the rapid response.
I have the immersionrc CPPM >> SBUS converter cable too and i have the same issue if i use that.
Reading the manual for the X4R-SB is mentions CPPM using the jumper, so maybe thats where i am going wrong.
Maybe i need the jumper when i bind and the special cable in place too. not sure i have tried that combination.
