Horus X10S with 2 RX*R PRO's and 2 XM+ receivers

Post by tonnie78 »

Hello All,

To really use all of my Horus X10S I am trying the following.

I want to use all 32 channels of my Horus.

So I have bought 2 RX8R Pro's together with 2 XM+'s. I have connected the SBUS out from one XM+ to the SBUS in from the RX8R Pro to get a redundant receiver system. I want to use channel 9-16 PWM output from the RX8R Pro to directly control 8 servo's. Next to that I have an 8 channel S-Bus to PWM converter in my model connected to the SBUS out of the RX8R Pro.

I also installed a second external XJT Module in my Horus and I have a the RX8R Pro XM+ combi in my model twice. This second combi I want to bind to the external unit.

Can someone please explain how to Bind the RX8R pro to the Horus internal module so I get channel 1-16 out on SBUS and 9-16 on PWM with Telemetry ON. I have tried simply by binding while selecting Chanel 9-16 telemetry ON on the transmittor, but then I only get 9-16 on SBUS no response on PWM pins on receiver.

You probably messed with the "channel range". You want that 1-16 for internal module, and 17-32 for external.

I have 1-16 selected for internal module.

Tried to bind receiver in both 1-8 telemetry on ans 9-16 telemetry on. Never could get PWM and SBUS out at the same time. Also tried bridging pin 1 and 2 + 3 and 4 like in the manual for X8R.

I found a simular story from someone who had this issue on a Taranis. He was able to solve it with an update of the module firmware. Could that influence this on a Horus too?

I don't know if there is a minimum requred firmware version for the X10 internal module nor for the RX8R Pro for the binding options to work like with the Taranis.

Just to prevent misunderstandings

There was no problem in binding the RX8R with XM+.

In my stupidity I set channel override on channel 9 to 13 previously to demonstrate something and forgot all about it.
