The problem in putting the gyro in the receiver is what happens when you want to run two receivers. In my new Hawk I have two Futaba 3ch sBus receivers plugged into a Robbe Futaba sBus Battery Backer (like a Powerbox). This device selects the best serial output on the basis of analysing the stream from both receivers. All the flight controls are sBus servos running on the bus output of the backer with ECU, gear, lighting etc running off the pwm outputs from the backer. I would like to introduce a gyro into this system but it needs to go between the receivers and the backer and I have been waiting for a serial in, serial out gyro to be released for some time. However, this doesn't solve the problem of how to combine the two receive outputs, the gyro and the backer. I don't imagine a gyro on each receiver output would be very clever, anyone any ideas?
