Tying to configurate my Pxhawk flightcontroller using Missioncontrol GCS.
I am using the wizard and now I am asked to connect my receiver to the Pixhawk(connected with the mico USB port to the computer.How do i connect when I want to use the SBUS?
On the Pixhawk there is an connection for SBUS and one for the receiver)RCN).
On the X8R FrSky receiver there is also a SBUS connection byond the conventional channel outputs.

Read the maual of your receiver.
There are some modes you can bind it.
Considering you have a pixhawk i suggest Mode4(D16)
Rebind and use Sbus port to connect to RCin of Pixhawk.
You will get 1-16 chanels through sbus , and (9 to 16) through analog ports of the receiver.

PS i assume you have a 16ch capable transmitter. (Taranis or XJT module)
