SBUS to PC INTERFACE

Post by musfar »

Is there anyway to SBUS receiver *SBUS SIGNAL* that need to interface with computer ? also I have tried searching a lot to understand SBUS decoding process and also SBUS to PWM signal method. I still have no idea. Could you please help in that?

SBUS is (usually) at 100000 baud. PCs, in general, can't handle this baud rate and use the nearest 'standard' baudrate, usually 115200 baud.
I have a SBUS to PPM decoder (individual servo channels) for an Arduino here: https://github.com/MikeBland/SbusToPpm.

Thank you MIKE. I am sorry for the late reply that I am quiet busy on other work. Back to the further research on SBUS. I wanted to emphasize that I have tried a lot to know about SBUS decoding process I still could not have one with proper explanation. Ofcourse, it is good to read your response in my request and great to see your work on github. May I ask few question about your work?

As I see, you have the program uploaded in to github which seems SBUS to PPM conversion.

Does it support all the arduino version board?

What type of receiver you can recommend to use this program to decode?

Also, Could you please suggest me some source where I can learn more technical details.


Thank you very much.

Mr.Mike, Also It would be more helpful if you could share the hardware part in terms of pins used in MCU.

It is written for a "Pro Mini", it may run on other Arduinos, but I haven't tested it.
I've only tested FrSky X8R and X6R receivers.
Search for "futaba sbus protocol" and you will find as much as I have!
Documenting the connections is on my "ToDo" list!

Mike.

Edit: I've added a connection diagram on the Github front page.

Thank you very much for your kind information. Using your updated connection diagram is very clear that which pin is for the channels.
