Flysky Transmitter Software

Transmitter

I begun my drone pilot career using a cheap transmitter made by Flysky, the FS-I6.It's not that bad to begin with, but sooner or later you will desire something more. You can spend the equivalent of several FS-I6 on a good level transmitter or you can read this ible (and others that will follow) about the mods that i've implemented in my flysky radios.In this -ible we'll see how to add the feature to the most common flysky receiver. The RSSI is one big lack in the flysky ecosystem (for whatever unknown reason, since it's really easy to implement). Since the RSSI tells you how good your connection is, and if you are about to loose control, it's quite clear how important this feature is!Please note that every 'flysky' string could be replaced with 'turnigy'. As far as i know both the transmitter and the receivers are clones. I haven't tested every combination but i'm actually using a turnigy IA6C modded receiver with my FS-I6 without any issue.

The first step is to remove the receiver's case, if any, and expose it's PCB.Now, depending on the receiver, you need to find its four connection pads and connect them to the right pins on the ST-Link. I've used the wires that came along the ST-Link, cutting and soldering them in the right place. Some people just kept the wire in place by hand.

I don't really support this trick because the chances to short circuit and burn something are way more than the chances to damage the PCB by soldering. The pads aren't huge, but at least they are reasonably spaced, it's not an hard soldering task.In the image you can see what i did on my IA6B receiver.

I put 'zoomed' wiring diagram in (scroll down, it's not english but you only need to look at the images at the end). There you can find the wiring diagram that i've personally tested and, as soon as i get other receivers, i'll test the mod and i'll update the tutorial.Pay attention to wire the positive power wire on the 3V3 and not the 5V pin on the ST-Link dongle, it's the bigger chance to damage something.Once you have somehow connected the four wires (3V3, GND, SWDIO, SWCLK) to the receiver and to the ST-Link you have the device 'electrically' ready to be upgraded.

Don't plug in the ST-Link USB alreay, you should install the drivers in advance, see the next step. You need to visit the ST site and download the USB programmer's and, they should be the last links/buttons at the bottom of the page. Once you've downloaded them install them, no particular configuration is required.The receivers' firmwares are provided by Cleric-k and his.

He was so kind to provide two firmware for every receiver: one with the RSSI output on channel 14 and one with the RSSI output on channel 8. Now you have a flysky receiver capable of outputting the RSSI on one channel, it's time to configure the flight controller. It's impossible to do a tutorial for every combination of FC device and FC firmware but luckily the setup is more or less the same. I'll show how to properly set up an Omnibus F4 Pro with Inav firmware.Connect and configure the receiver as usual, PPM or IBUS depending on your requirements. In the configuration tab you have to disable the feature 'analog RSSI' (look bottom right). Now go to the 'receiver' tab and set the 'RSSI Channel' value depending on the firmware you've flashed. I've flashed the firmware IA6Brssi ch14.bin (i'm using Ibus output, obviously) therefore i choose 'CH14'.That's it: now you have the RSSI function on you flysky receiver!Someone could have spotted that i'm reading values not only on channel 1 to 6, and my transmitter is supposed to be a 6 channel one.

Don't worry, i've modded it to have 14 channel, this will be explained in another -ible. In the meanwhile don't be afraid to follow this tuttorial, the channel number doesn't matter because the RSSI value will be produced by the receiver itself, therefore there's no need to have a modded transmitter to do that.Happy RSSI to everyone!

Review:'Awesome radio, just as good if not better than any 6 ch system out there. Having to plug into PC makes it impossible to accidentally screw up settings on TX while flying or switching aircraft. I bring my little net-book PC to the flying field with several aircraft,and with the click of a mouse your ready to fly a different one. The Digital Radio program that is available for $2 is awesome as well,you can export all the files from T6config over to it. I also have the CT6A that I use at a different location of the country, it is also flawless but the batteries last longer in the CT6B. HobbyPartz please keep the receivers coming, makes it very affordable to keep building/flying aircraft.' Installation tips Link.
