RX8rpro and sbus to RB20 and Hobby Eagle gyro A3Super2

Post by dsa44 »

I am trying to figure out how to use sbus out from rx8rpro to both the rb20 and Hobby eagle A3S2, both of which support sbus in.
I wanted to have the servos powered directly from the rb20 and not from the output of the A3S2
This is for a fixed wing conventional plane, 2 Ail, 2 Elv, 1 Rud
Cant wrap my brain around it, help appreciated!

Thanks Kilrah, thats what I was thinking, but I wanted to have the servos powered thru the Rb20, but have signal controlled thru gyro for Ail, Elv and Rud. I would prefer not to have the servos wired direct off the gyro output, but can't figure a way around it.

That is not an option unless you get another gyro that has an SBUS output which you could feed into the RB20 instead of using the receiver's output (or use a converter, but...)

Maybe...just maybe... This is just a mockup. Rx8Rpro (or in this photo x8r) sbus out to Y cable. One sbus to rb20 and and one to gyro. Then for the specific channel, in this case ch1, lets say its Ail1, just the signal lead from the gyro output to the servo, and the power output from the rb20. Of course the wiring would be secured, polarity checked, shrink wrapped etc, and would need to be careful with the channel assignments with dual ail, dual elev and one rud. So just 5 such connections. The other channels all coming direct off the rb20. (Will need 11 ch's!)
Am I missing something??

Lets say I wanted to add an XM+ as satellite. Would it be better connected to the RB20 or the RX8R Pro via Sbus. And, if I wanted to keep the gyro in the loop for either RX, could I just add an additional Y cable between the XM+ Sbus out to Rb20/RX8R and Gyro. ???

Thx for the help.
