Pinout
We don't publish a pin table for this part: no official source we could verify gives one. Check the labels printed on your module, and see the notes below.
The maker publishes a specification page only: no pin table, signal level or failsafe details.
Build with it
Project ideas for the FlySky FS-iA6B receiver. Each link opens Soldr with the prompt filled in; Soldr assigns the pins, checks power and shows how to wire every part.
- A bench servo tester controlled by a FlySky FS-iA6B receiver, a servo and a battery pack: Four NiMH AAA cells give about 4.8 V (4 x 1.2 V), inside the receiver's 4.0-8.4 V range. The servo's own supply range is not on the receiver page, so check it in the servo maker's documentation. The receiver must be bound to a compatible AFHDS 2A transmitter, such as the FS-i6. Bench use only: no propeller or motor fitted, and not for use on any aircraft or vehicle.
- Bench pan-tilt mount: Each stick axis drives one of the six PWM channels. The receiver page gives no current figure, so keep to small servos and test the pack with both moving. Learning project. Bench use only: no propeller or motor fitted, and not for use on any aircraft or vehicle.
- Remote shutter presser: A switch channel on the transmitter moves the servo arm. Range is quoted as 500-1500 m in the air, so test range outdoors in open space with the servo driving nothing, and do not rely on it indoors. Learning project. Bench use only: no propeller or motor fitted, and not for use on any aircraft or vehicle.
Common mistakes
- Powering the receiver from 12 V: the maker's range is 4.0-8.4 V (source)
- Connecting the data port straight to a 3.3 V board: the maker page states no signal voltage, so measure it first (source: link, no level stated)
- Trusting the 500-1500 m range: it is quoted in the air, so expect less indoors or near the ground; test range outdoors in open space with nothing driven by the servo (source)
Not covered by the official source
- No PDF manual is available: pin order, signal voltage level, failsafe and current draw are not given.
- A receiver works only with a compatible AFHDS 2A transmitter.
- The receiver page does not give a servo supply rating; check the servo maker's documentation.
