Default PowerBox SRS / 18CH FASSt : channel assignments ?

I have a 18mz, and for my CARF P-47 I need to run two receivers. I have a PowerBox SRS that I am looking to use. I have two R7008SB receivers.

The PowerBox can accespt up to 14 channels via S.BUS , which is what I need ... the RX however has 7 conventional channel outputs and one S.BUS ( a 2nd S.BUS 2 for telemetry .. )

the RX runs 3 modes , A: 1 ~ 8CH B: 1 ~ 7+sbus C: 9 ~ 16 and D: 9 ~ 15 + S.bus

sooooo , with these being indicative of the channel assignemnts on the standard RX ports, which channels get assigned to the SBUS ? How do I get all 18 Channels on the S.BUS ? Am I corrent to understand that there is logical overlap on 7 channels between conventional servo ports ans S.BUS channels ?

Lastly, Can I bind one receiver bidirectionally so it can also server up telemetry data ( i'm using a RPM sensor ) , and the other as a single/redundant ?

I hope someone from Futaba or experienced with the system has some insight on how these channels work out


thanks for any info !!


regards,

anyone ?

I have contacted Futaba and have not received any answers from there either. The people I got on the phone were useless ...

Subject: Re: FASSTest S.BUS channel assignments

Thank you for your recent e‑mail.

The function menu in the radio defines the assignment order to the PWM slots
in a given receiver. Signal output through S.Bus occurs at the same time as
it does to the PWM slots in the receiver, and through the various S.Bus
encoders you can pretty much dictate freely which servos respond to which
transmitter function.

We hope you find this information helpful. Should you have any further
questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at this email
address. (Please be sure to copy all previous emails into any future
questions.)

DID YOU KNOW that our web pages now all contain FAQs? (Frequently asked
questions) Please drop by and take a look! We hope you'll find the
information helpful and valuable to you.
