Orange R615X CPPM - How To?

[srfnmnk]

Hey guys I am building my first quad and trying to connect my Orange R615X to my FCB via CPPM. Can you see anything I am doing wrong? It's like the Rx is not properly binding with my radio when plugged up to the FCB. Thanks for the help.

Interesting. Because it's on the bing plug, if the input is being held low while booting, it's entirely possible it's putting the rx in to bind mode. As a test, can you try connecting the battery with the receiver unplugged, then after a second or so, plugging in the CPPM line?

If you look at 1.58 in your video it looks like you have the lead in the BAT/BIND port the wrong way. You have the black in front. Earlier in the video, 0:18, you had the white in front....

Thanks for all the help friends. Turns out the FT power distribution board has a bad pathway and it was causing not enough power to get to the rx. Added a capacitor to the receiver and it arms just fine every time now.
