Hi guys,

First off disclaimer – Total n00b to the hobby so bare with me.

 

I picked up my first racer drone, an ARF version EACHINE 250 FPV Racer, and I’m trying to get it setup. I have a Taranis X9D Plus and attempting to hook up the FrSky X8R that I purchased for it. This is where I get lost…I see on the FC that there are multiple ways to hook it up to the quad but don’t think I have the right cables for it. There’s the 6-channel ‘regular’ way it appears but I also have a SBUS option and a Smart Port option. I’m not sure which way to go and what cable to get for it?

I hear SBUS is simpler for setup but how does that compare to the Smart Port? Or should I just use 6 plugs that converts to the smaller white connector. Here’s a picture with all the wiring options it came with (it appears SBUS or Smart Port aren’t one of them).

 

Thanks in advance!

Run SBUS-  it’s a single wire protocol that allows for up to 16 channels.
