Help! Getting into multirotors - Looking for my first quadcopter

[SkyEye]

Well, there is one thing I forgot about the older Spektrum/LemonRX Satellite receivers. Most of them need 3.3V and are not tolerant of 5V. It has been a good while since I've hooked one up to something that didn't have a dedicated DSMX port. I started digging deeper and there is no 3.3v pin on my speedybee f405-wing FC or Matek Fxxx-wing FCs. The newer Spektrum satellite RXes are tolerant to higher voltages.

My Diatone Mamba F722-wing does have a 3.3v breakout.

What are the exact make and model of dsmx receivers you plan to use. You will need to double check their voltage requirements

Do you think I could use my existing 7-channel lemon rx receiver and wire it to the FC via the sat port on the receiver? It meets the voltage requirement.

Unfortunately no. That only allows you to connect a satellite to it, not to act as a satellite. Unless the manual says otherwise....

Ah I see. I’ll keep looking. So far only the spektrum satellite receivers seem to meet the voltage requirement but they are also SRXL2 (SPM9747)

I was going to follow these guides unless I can find satellite receivers that meet the requirements and don’t have srxl2.

How to use an SRXL2 receiver with the F405 V3 flight controller？

Step 1: Please check whether the wiring between the receiver and the flight controller is correct. It is recommended to refer to the wiring diagram in the manual of the flight controller to connect...
