Most flight controllers these days powers the RX when you plug in the USB cable, and that’s great. In this example, I am using the Frsky XM (SBUS) with Kakute F4 V2 AIO FC: All RX protocols are supported: PPM, SBUS, PWM, iBUS, DSMX, Crossfire… Betaflight SetupĬonnect the RX to FC, and set it up in Betaflight as you would normally do for a quad, here is a guide on how to setup SBUS. Check out this guide if you have trouble flashing firmware on FC, it could be a driver issue. Make sure to flash the latest Betaflight to your flight controller (3.4 or newer). You can just use your drone for this. But if you want a dedicated FC and RX setup just for playing simulators, these are the cheapest parts I could find: (This article explains the differences between F1, F3, F4 and F7 FC) F1 and F3 FC cannot do it because they don’t have enough memory to store the additional code. Only F4 and F7 flight controllers support this feature currently.

I have not measured latency, but I don’t feel any more latency than using USB cable to the radio.

It also means that you can use all radios to play simulators, even the ones you can’t connect to the computer directly, such as the Flysky i6 or Turnigy 9X.Īs it’s a wireless connection, you are no longer constrained by the length of the USB cable, and you can finally lay back and play! It was late at night, this would do for now -)
