Serial Port Read Timeout when using FTDI adapter and SBUS Receiver #35

Closed Richrfl closed 4 years ago

Richrfl commented 4 years ago

I have been trying several FTDIs and Receivers with my FrSky transmitter, and I was not able to get rid of that timeout. I also tried port speeds of 9600, 56000 to no avail. A also changed the parameters in the Program>profile>Failsafe Options and nothing changed. The port connects, the FTDI shows the TX/RX LEDs blinking, but still timing out. I assume that if the Feeder can be configured for SBUS, that would be SBUS "straight" from the RX, therefore, I see no reason for this setup not to work. Any Ideas?

SBUS signal is inverted. It can not be read directly by FTDI. See the docs for the available options.

I already saw that. I am forced to use Arduino. No comments.
