thanks all. I went back and edited my original posts to note to error in my initial statement that CB200 does not have EX bus out .. since it does!
I hooked it all up with channels 1-14 run by the CB200, pin 15 of the CB set to EX Bus out, and the remainder of the EX signals translated to S-Bus with the same channel numbers via the SlinkE device connected to pin 15, feeding the Sbus line to the devices on the nose of the jet, power fed from a servo port on CB200. Works like a charm :-)
I may do some further testing .. perhaps since pin 15 can also be a servo output, settable to EX bus, it might do more current than a dedicated EX bus output and not have the EX bus pin current limitation.
thanks for the clarification on the devices, Carsten. Do you and Sandor have that new Jeti device for sale yet?
