I can't get this quad to bind!

[AeroPointIndustries]

Hey there everyone, I just got this i-Flight Turbobee 120rs a few hours ago, and I can't get it to bind with my dx6i. This is my first ever racing quad type drone, and I have watched quite a few youtube videos on the subject. I looked at the receiver in it, and I think that I can see some LEDs on it, but when I plug in the battery, there's no light coming from it. Is the reciever bad? Or what's going on?

Are you sure there is a Spectrum receiver in it? I can only find the quad with a Frsky receiver or without receiver.

That's what the guy I bought it from said it was, and the box says dsm2/x but the manufacturer could have accidentally put in a frsky receiver in it. The guy I bought it from said he couldn't get it to fly. Idk what that meant tho.

I should verify wich type of receiver is installed, it can be integrated with the flightcontroller and than find a video about the binding and configuration, I searched, but didn't find a manual of instruction video about that quad with DSMX receiver.

The Quad doesn't ever really come with instructions. Just a small pamphlet with little to no info.

Yes, I know, just look wich receiver is installed or if it is integrated, wich flight controller.

So this is what it looks like. I'm 90% sure this is the receiver, but I might be wrong.

oh wait. It is. It says dsmx on it. 100% sure.

That is the receiver, I see no leds on it, did you try this? https://www.dronetrest.com/t/how-to...te-receivers-on-betaflight-for-beginners/4851

For that, the Quad needs to be connected to betaflight right? I can't get mine to connect.

Oh, just kidding! I tried another cord a few seconds ago and it worked. Nevermind. I'll try what you recommended.

That didn't seem to do anything.

I just found this online. I believe that this is the receiver I have, and it has instructions.

I can do everything it says to do except the uart1 port thing. I don't have any uart ports showing up.

Be sure you have a good quality usb cable, or it is a driver issue, did you install the right drivers?

What drivers do I need? I didn't know I needed any drivers

 

[Bifi.baarlo]

That depends on the type of flight controller, on the welcome screen of Betaflight you find links for the drivers, install them both if you are not sure.

That didn't seem to do anything. Any other suggestions?

Did you use Zadig? If you don't now how to use it, better watch a video about it.

Should I try flashing new firmware to it?
