problem setting up Naza M Lite with Turnigy 9x Radio - RX-ERROR

[raymondkerr]

I am new to multi rotors and this is the first upgrade to my basic F450. It came setup with a cheap i86 FC which I have swapped out for a Naza M Lite. The 9x Turnigy radio was setup on model 1 with the Throttle and Rudder channels reversed. Every other setting on the radio was standard. when connect the naza to the computer and loading the assistant software, I get a flashing red RX-ERROR at the bottom of the screen. My radio is PPM, but I have also tried traditional and I know that it isn';t S-BUS. all it tells me on the help, that there is a problem with communication from the receiver to the radio. ??

The radio and quad flew fine before. I have updated the firmware on the assistant software, still says version 1.0, and I';m using the latest software too. I do get some stick movement feedback on the software so there is some sort of link/communication but its not letting me calibrate ? I tried a new model memory on the radio without much success, and I have removed and replugged all the servo leads from the naza to the turnigy 9x8C receiver. It is just a standard (stock) 9x radio, not a firmware updated one.

Don';t know where else to turn to for help.

Ok, your RX needs to be setup for traditional channels, and you need a cable for each channel from your RX to the Naza .. as below.



Your TX should be setup for a plane..

Check that first and report back..   pop in to chat and someone will help

thanks, I';ll go away and check all the cables.

Tried the cable layout as above and checked that my radio is in aeroplane mode which it is on PPM, still getting the RX-ERROR, tried both traditional and PPM settings.

The firmware update worked but it still tells me it is version 1.0 same as before ?

Is the RX bound to the TX ?

Are the leads into the naza correctly orientated, mine were upside down until some kind soul pointed me in the right direction.

I have checked the binding and it is working fine, I have plugged the leads in with the black/brown negative lead furtherest away from the notch which is signal and centre is positive.

I think it is something to do with the radio.  I only have an online manual for the Turnigy 9x which isn';t really that helpful.  I have selected a new model memory on the radio so that I can be sure none of the previous FC settings are causing problems.  When I do manage to get it to recognise with the software in traditional mode, all the channels appear to be  mixed up, I have even tried reversing channels.  it would appear that my throttle is on the righthand stick which would suggest the radio is in mode 1 and not mode 2, but I can';t see how to change this within the settings.  The radio was setup and worked fine for my hobbywing i86 controller and it is defo a mode 2 (throttle lefthand) radio.
