bind help

[Panosth]

I got a receiver for my micro fpv drone and i cant understand how to bind it. As you see in the photo below the bind is like a soldering pad and not a button. Pls help.

This is the recceiver :https://www.banggood.com/IRangX-Tin...MrQQgnfAyEPWpFtHiDtWytsQDUwdsigxoCF9gQAvD_BwE

check your manual, you probably short it to ground or 5v

from the page you linked:

Binding Procedure:
1.Solder the two pins: Binding and GND
2.Power to the receiver with +5v battery or connected to a flight controller with +5v output, the blue LED should start to Flashing , indicating it is ready to bind
3.Turn on the transmitter and enter binding mode ,waiting for a second, the blue LED light is solid, indicating bind successfully

ok i did that receiver is fine but i just found a new problem. My vtx doesnt get any power i think. When i plug the battery no leds light up or anything.

Did you plug it in without the antenna, if so it's probably fried.

If you have a mulit meter you can check into see if it's getting power too

 

[JasonK]

do you have a picture of your wiring? are you powering off of a battery or USB?

 

[Panosth]

I dont have a multi meter unfortunately but everything is brand new they cant be fried everything is getting power except of the vtx. I am powering it off a battery

Without antenna you can fry a VTX, also a new one, is the battery voltage enough for the VTX?

 

[Panosth]

Its a 3s lipo it is 100 percent enough. and also i be never powered it without an antenna. So it either was faulty from the factory or the cables arent transferring enough power from the fc to the vtx

 

[JasonK]

well you can guess and guess about why it isn't powering up, but without a way to test the power at the pings to the VTX, rather hard to be 100% sure. Could also be a bad cable, solder joint, damaged trace, etc, etc, etc.

Some VTX's need battery voltage direct from the battery, maybe 5V from the FC is not enough, or the max current the voltage stabilizer can provide is not enough. like JasonK said, hard to diagnose without a multimeter.
