Unable to bind the RX G-RX8

Post by Raythegreat »

Hi,

I recently bought the receiver G-RX8 from FrSky.
I am unable to bind it in the 8 channels PWM even if I followed all the instructions to the letter.
The receiver seems stuck in the SBUS mode because the blue LED comes ON at power ON indicating it is in SBUS mode.
I carefully added the jumper CH1-CH2 to switch in PWM, no luck.
My taranis is set to XJT D16 CH1-CH8

Please someone with binding experience advise,
Thank you

Hi all,

Important info for G-RX8 users.

OK I figured what was not working about binding Taranis + to G-RX8.

First you need to update to the last firmware versions both the XJT in Taranis and G-RX8 so they can match.
Second and most important, there is at least one error in the paper manual coming with the G-RX8 receiver.
It says you need a jumper between CH1 and CH2 to get the PWM mode. It is the opposite, no jumper = PWM, SBUS = CH1 and CH2 jumped.
I found this with luck since one time I forget to add the jumper and it worked in PWM, so the paper manual has at least one error.
There is also another error for the switch between CH1 to CH8 or CH9 to CH16. You must do the opposite of the manual to make it work.

Strange no one has flagged this.
