Help! FT aura 5 lite not working with Lemon RX DSMP Diversity Satellite Receiver

[_BLACKBIRD_]

I’ve been trying to get my Aura 5 lite flight controller to bind with my Lemon RX DSMP Diversity Satellite Receiver (both products purchased on the FliteTest Store) yet I’m not sure whether I’m doing something wrong or one of the products is broken.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- I have followed the proper steps of powering on the Aura by holding down the bind button while connecting power.
- the lemon rx makes a single flash of orange light at the instant i connected power, but never makes light after that.
- i had a spare lemon rx which does the exact same thing when trying again.
- I’ve updated the Aura to the latest firmware, but still doesn’t work, the aura keeps signaling that it’s searching for a reciever.

I’ve no clue what to do.

Try plugging the ESC into port 1 rather than the sbus receiver port.

I was just using a BEC as an example power source. Its the same with plugging an ESC into port 1. I don’t think it’s a problem about the power though.

What transmitter are you using if the receiver light goes out after plugging in the battery it is not receiving any signal.

Spektrum Dx6e. Does the transmitter also have to be on? What do you mean by receiving signal?

Yes the transmitter has to be on the no light means it has not received any transmission from the transmitter.

So what you are saying is that the satellite receiver will automatically bind to the transmitter when powered on? I tried powering it again but with the transmitter on but same thing. I tried it with transmitter in bind mode but it keeps saying bind failed.

You know let me actually make a video real quick visually showing the things I’ve tried and post it on YouTube.

If the light on the satellite RX does not blink after powering up the Aura5 while holding the bind button, then the Aura is not putting the RX into bind mode. You may need to hook up a USB cable to the aura and use the configuration tool to make sure that the RX configuration not set wrong.

Have you tried using a different reciever cable?

I had some success. I changed the receiver setup to Spektrum remote and on mini port B. I got it to bind to the transmitter. Everything seems to work yet I can’t actually get anything to move, it seems the transmitter is not transmitting or something.

Here’s what I’ve done:

(Also, the lemon rx is kinda permanently bound to a single model, I can’t re bind it to a different model, and the light ONLY turns on if the transmitter is using that specific model.)

Until you get the sticks to respond in the configurator, the servos will not respond. Focus on getting the sticks working in the configurator.

I've had trouble binding the rx to the tx that close. It's a pain but try holding your tx about 3 or 4 feet away from the rx when you bind them.

Do you have any tips on how I could do that?

Somehow the reciever is not receiving any transmission from the transmitter even though it’s bound.

This lemon rx I don’t think I can rebind it. It seems once it’s bound there’s no way to initiate the binding (flashing orange light) again. It just gets stuck to that specific model on the transmitter.

I have never seen one do that before.....

Spektrum has model match if you change models in the transmitter to the same receiver you have to go thru the total bind process Unplug receiver hold bind button plug in battery receiver starts to flash then hold bind button and turn on transmitter. You cannot just randomly change models and expect the receiver to work as it should as it won`t .

Lets see what your transmitter channel output page looks like.

I understand that process, but the thing is, I can’t get the reciever itself to do the binding flashing again. There’s no bind plug or button on this lemon rx. I do not know how or if I can rebind it in general.

The greater issue at hand though is that even though everything looks bound and ready to go, the receiver or Aura isn’t getting any signal from the transmitter at all.

Hello, I am having the same problem with my Aure and Lemon Rx satellite when I try to add it to a new model with a different Aure 5. I tried it yesterday

Welcome to the club.

Is your transmitter able to connect with ur lemon rx + aura and is able to actually control an airplane though?

it connected but I had no control then I changed models on my transmitter and it did not connect
