I recently got the Aura board from Flitetest and tried to set it up with a satellite receiver (WILLOWLUCKY Receiver Satellite for JR Spektrum Transmitter RC SPM9645 AR6210 6CH 2.4GHz DSMX DSM2 Satellite). When I plugged everything in, the Aura started searching for a receiver, following the LED pattern. This continues on for as long as I have the battery plugged in. Is my satellite incompatible with the Aura? One more thing, I have a regular receiver that I use in other models, does an Aura board only work with a satellite receiver, or can I use a regular one? Thanks!

it only works with serial receivers, so your regular receiver that you connect your servos directly two, typically doesn't have the required outputs.
What receiver do you have? I see a whole mess of words, but not a specific receiver listed (there are model numbers for multiple different spectrum receivers in that list, but also stuff that would imply that it isn't a genuine spectrum product.)
How do you have it wired up to the aura board?
Can we get a picture of your setup?

The satellites' FCC ID is BRWDASRX10, and the model number is 9645; I hope that's what you're looking for. I couldn't find the name of the cable connecting the Aura and satellite, but it fits into the Auras' slot and is the same on both ends.
Here's a photo of my setup. I have a FT 20A ESC w/Xt-30 Connectors from the powerpack F, as well as the Radial 2205 2300kV motor. The battery is a Tattu 850 mah 3 cell.

That receiver should work. Make sure you are plugging it into the correct place. Check out Flex Innovations wiki support for Aura 5: http://wiki.flexinnovations.com/wiki/Aura/FTAura5
You mean holding down the bind button when powering on the Aura? I have been trying that, but when I plug it in, the Auras' light goes blue, and the satellites' orange light starts blinking rapidly. After about 5 seconds, the Auras' lights go into, "Searching for Receiver" mode (Orange blue green red: Repeats). Once I bind the satellite to my Dxe, the orange light goes off, blinks slowly, then goes solid, indicating that it did bind. It seems as though the Aura can't detect the receiver connected to it, even though the satellite has power and can bind to my radio.
Since I have a Spektrum Dxe radio, I haven't tried making a profile for the Aura, since it doesn't have a screen. I don't think this is the issue, but I thought I'd point it out.

Try restarting the transmitter. hold the bind button in first then turn on the transmitter. You should be about 5 feet away with the transmitter.
Before you do these things you need to hold down the Bind button on the Aura 5, then plug in the battery to the plane first This can take two people.

I am having the exact problem with my new aura 5 recognizing my satellite rx. Lemon dsmx rx. Have watched josh video many times but can not get to binding till aura power ups the rx. A light is supposed to come on in the rx when it starts getting power from the aura but alas no light. Have you figured it out? Help!
Here some pictures that show two ways I have tried. Aura light is flashing slow orange and solid blue the satellite rx no light. Aura config tool shows that the aura is connected. Aura sensor monitor shows gyro is up and running.

There was a version of the Aura firmware that had issues with binding DSMX RXes. If you can, load up the configurator and make sure your Aura board has the latest firmware. Otherwise, do like others have suggested and find an alternate way to bind the RX to your TX.
No computer changes to aura
Battery fully changed
Problem is the satellite rx does not light up it does not go into bind mode at all. Even when I connect aura to aura config tool via usb it still keeps flashing orange
Just tried above to no avail. Aura Lights solid blue slow flashing orange believe means failsafe condition what is failsafe ? The light on the new lemon rx has never come on through all of this. Could I have a "lemon"? I do appreciate your effort to help not sure where to go from here.
