Build with it
Project ideas for the FlySky FS-iA6 receiver. Each link opens Soldr with the prompt filled in; Soldr assigns the pins, checks power and shows how to wire every part.
- Six-channel stick monitor: The Uno's 5 V pin is inside the receiver's 4.0 V to 6.5 V range, and the sketch times the PWM pulse on each input. The maker page gives no signal voltage for the outputs; measure it before connecting to any 3.3 V board. The FS-TH9X transmitter is also AFHDS 2A per its maker page. Bench only, no motors connected. Learning project.
- Stick range calibration: Same 5 V supply and pulse timing as the monitor; the Uno prints the extremes it sees while the sticks are moved to their ends. The maker page gives no output signal level, so measure it first. Bench only, no motors connected. Learning project.
- Compact channel monitor: The Nano's 5 V pin, from USB, is inside the receiver's 4.0 V to 6.5 V range. The maker page gives no output signal level; measure it first. Bench only, no motors connected. Learning project.
Common mistakes
- Powering it above 6.5 V; the maker lists 4.0-6.5 V (source: link, Specifications).
- Expecting signal-strength or bus output. The maker lists RSSI as not supported and the data port as PWM only (source: link, Specifications).
- Pairing it with a transmitter that uses another protocol. The maker names AFHDS 2A (source: link, Specifications).
Not covered by the official source
- The maker page lists no current draw, binding steps, failsafe behaviour or pin table.
- Ideas stay on bench pulse reading because the maker page has no output signal level.
