So I have an R620X receiver. I bought it, bound it, and tested it with a servo. All good.
Then, I went to connect it to my Pixhawk, and got nothing. The R620X is advertised and a CPPM receiver, which should work just fine with the Pixhawk, but I got nothing. Just to be sure it wasn't me being silly and doing something wrong, I connected my R615X receiver in the exact same way. It worked!
I decided to contact hobbyking, and they were very nice. They actually sent me two replacement R620X receivers!!! But, perhaps unsurprisingly, neither worked. I also bought an R1020X to see if it's any different. That will arrive tomorrow.
It's not just the Pixhawk, because I've done the test on 3 different Pixhawks, so what's going on here?!?!
I'm very unhappy at this point, because I've been forced to do all my testing using a single satellite receiver connected to the Pixhawk's DSM port, which does not supply anywhere near the range I feel safe with. My ideal setup is a full range receiver connected two the Pixhawk through the S.Bus/PPM port with 1 or 2 satellites connected to the receiver.
Please let me know if this is an issue you've experienced, or know how to address!!
