Bind Your RC Transmitter To Its Receiver (Using Arduino) : Pkoutmay 5, 2014electronics

Bind Your RC Transmitter to Its Receiver (Using Arduino) To bind an RC transmitter to its receiver using an Arduino board: 1. Connect the receiver's ground pin to the Arduino GND pin and + pin to the 5V pin. Also connect the receiver's binding cable to the BAT channel. 2. Turn on the Arduino, which will cause the receiver to blink red, indicating it is waiting to bind. 3. Hold the transmitter's bind button and turn it on. The receiver will stop blinking and stay solid red once bound. 4. Release the bind button and disconnect the binding cable. Then turn off the receiver and transmitter.

Bind Your RC Transmitter to Its Receiver

(Using Arduino)
BY PKOUTMAY 5, 2014ELECTRONICS

You purchased a transmitter and a receiver and now you need to make
them talk to each other. How to do that? Well cover that in this tutorial.
Although the process of binding a transmitter to a receiver may vary from model to model, the basic set of
steps tends to be the same for all. In this tutorial, we will be binding the inexpensive FS-CT6B transmitter
to its FS-R8B receiver. Chances are that your receiver will have the pins locate on the side isntead of on
top, but the idea is the same. Before we can do the binding, we need to power the receiver. Unlike the
transmitter, it doesnt have any batteries to power itself. We will use Arduino to power the receiver. If you
have an RC plane or any other device that you can plug into the receiver, you can turn on that device while
plugged into the reciever and it would power the receiver that way as well. So, lets get started.

First, on the receiver, there are 7 slots (channel 1 through 6 and the BAT channel). The innermost pin
is the PWM signal pin, the middle is the + pin and the outermost is the ground pin. Use channel 1 or
any other channel (not the BAT channel) on the receiver and do the following. Using a wire, connect
the ground pin (outermost) to the ground (GND) pin on Arduino. Then use another wire to connect the
+ pin (middle pin) to the 5V pin on Arduino. Lastly, use the binding cable that came with the receiver
and plug in into the BAT channel. The picture below shows the setup.
Now, follow the steps below in this exact order
Turn on your Arduino by plugging in the USB port cable or power supply. At this point, your receiver
should start blinking in red, which means its waiting for the binding signal.
Hold the bind button on your transmitter and while holding it, turn on the transmitter. At that point, the
flashing on the receiver should stop and the LED should turn solid red. I marked the bind button on this
transmitter by the red circle on the picture below.
Release the bind button, dont turn off the transmitter yet.
Pull out the binding cable from the receiver.
Turn off the receiver by unplugging the Arduino from its power source.
Turn off the transmitter. Youre done. At this point, your transmitter should be bound to your receiver.
