CC3D SBus CleanFlight FrSky Taranis X8R / X4RSB Setup

CC3D Connection
- Connect SBus cable to Main Port on CC3D ans SBus port on X8R

Main Port is next to the Mini USB port on CC3D.

Main Port SBus Cable

Pin #3 (green or blue cable) is not used. Pin #4 (orange or yellow cable) is signal cable for SBus

X4RSB Connection

SBus port is composed of 3 pins in group 4 above. Group 4 pins are on the lower and bottom side of the diagram above.

SBus cable conenction mapping:
Black (GND) Pin-
Red (Power)  Pin+
Orange/Yellow (Signal) PinS



X8R Connection

SBus port is composed of 3 pins on lower far side of the image above.
SBus cable conenction mapping:
Black (GND) Pin-
Red (Power)  Pin+
Orange/Yellow (Signal) PinS

Taranis - X8R / X4RSB Setup
- Check that Taranis binding mode supports SBus
Taranis must be in D16 mode

- Check that Receiver binding mode supports matches Taranis
Refer to http://multicopter-howto.blogspot.com/2015/12/receiver-binding-options.htm



- Default channel order in Taranis is ok for CC3D / CleanFlight setup
CH1 – THR
CH2 – AIL
CH3 – ELE
CH4 – RUD

CleanFlight SBus Setup

1- On Ports Page, SBus port must be selected on UART1

- UART1 / Data(MSP) setting should be OFF

- UART1 / RX(Serial Rx) setting should be on.

Save and reboot CC3D

2- On Configuration page, SBus must be selected:

- Receiver Mode should be RX_SERIAL

- Serial Receiver Provider should be SBUS

Save and reboot CC3D

3 - On Receiver page, check that channel map is matching with Taranis channel order setup. Default order TAER is ok.

Receiver Binding Options

FrSky X8R

MODE	TELEMETRY	FAILSAFE AND MODELMATCH	CHANNEL OUTPUT	JUMPER(S)	F/S BUTTON
Mode 1 (D8)	Yes	No	CH1 - CH8	1: CH7&CH8	do not press
Mode 2 (D16)	No	Yes	CH1 - CH8	1: CH3&CH4	press before power
Mode 3 (D16)	No	Yes	CH9 -CH16	1: CH1&CH2	press before power
Mode 4 (D16)	Yes	Yes	CH9 -CH16	1: CH1&CH2 2: CH3&CH4	press before power
Mode 5 (D16)	Yes	Yes	CH1 - CH8	none	press before power

After everything is setup execute these steps
1) Press [bind] in the Taranis menu
2) press and hold down the F/S button on the X8R (skip for Mode1)
3) power-on the X8R by plugging in a single servo cable from the powered model, e.g. the S.BUS cable
4) wait for the Taranis to beep. (~1second) and your RX is blinking red. This confirms a successful bind.
5) power off the rx
6) remove the jumpers, they are only needed for binding
