SBus Servos — Plane documentation

 

Questions:

  • Where can I find more info about RC_Receiver chip? Datasheet?

  • SBUS uses an inverted serial polarity. Is this supported for our MCU? Can we just invert in code or does it have to be hardware inverted?

  • How many channels do we need? Is there any limitations with certain protocols?

SBUS is one of the possible communication protocols that come from the RC_Receiver.

Seems like FutabaRC.com site is down and everything links to that for SBUS documentation

 

SBUS uses a standard Serial protocol (?) (even parity, 2 stop bits, 100000 baud). Inverted polarity so it must be inverted.

Each servo has 11 bits meaning a maximum of 2048
