S-Bus Help

[Cdallas2]

Just picked up an 8FG.

To run an s-bus receiver with non s-bus servos what else do I need

[kcordell]

In a heli, nothing else needed.
If using the R6208SB Rx just plug in servos where they belong and you are good to go.
If using the CGY-750 with either the R6203SB or R6208SB RX, plug the servos in the CGY-750 where they go, make sure the Function in the 8FG is the same as in the CGY-750 and you are good to go.
You ONLY need to worry about using the decoder or S.Bus programmable servos for like giant scale planes where you are using S.Bus hubs, multiple servos on multiple control surfaces.

I had some weirdness with my ESCs BEC connection not using the SBUS correctly on my CGY-750, so I had to plug it directly into the receiver...

So I basically have my receiver plugged into both the ESC and the CGY; 2 cables out instead of the ideal one.

I'm sure I have something wonky with my setup, but I couldn't get the ESC to work through the throttle port on the CGY.. *shrug*

Check your channel mapping. I have one model with it thru the port on the rx and the other on the port on the GGY-750. It will work either way.
