Binding procedure

  1. Plug the USB and connect to betaflight configurator, from the CLI tab type: "set spektrum_sat_bind=9" for DSMX radio or "set spektrum_sat_bind=5" for DSM2 radio.
    Binding procedure - Step 1
  2. Type "save" and after Flight controller reboot then remove USB plug (=Power off the board)
  3. Wait a second and reconnect the USB cable. After cold start the orange LED on the receiver should start blinking and transmitter should be turned on while pressing the bind button.
  4. After binding the orange LED on the receiver should be solid. Connect to Betaflight and use receiver tab to test that satellite receiver is working correctly.
  5. Final step is to go to CLI tab and type "set spektrum_sat_bind=0" and then type "save". This must be done so that satellite receiver doesn't go back to binding mode when the flight controller is repowered again.
