To control the MICROBEAST PLUS you have the opportunity to use different receiver types. Basically it is distinguished between (conventional) „Standard“ receivers and „Single-Line“ (or „sum signal“) receivers.
Standard receivers
A standard receiver is a receiver that is connected to MICROBEAST PLUS by using the single servo outputs of the receiver and connect them to the five control channels of MICROBEAST PLUS. The channel which determines the controlled function simply is selected by inserting each plug to the correct output at the receiver.
Ensure a tight fit of the connectors. The pin board of MICROBEAST PLUS is designed so that the plugs firmly clamp each other when they are fully inserted. Anyhow, especially when using a single-line receiver, it is possible that connectors are plugged in with no adjacent neighbors. Such plugs should additionally be secured against loosening.
Single-Line receivers
With a single-line receiver all channels (control functions) are transmitted by one single connection line to MICROBEAST PLUS. This is done by packing all channel output data to a digital data paket or by chaining the servo signals to one output port. Because of this, it is not possible here to assign functions by inserting the appropriate plugs in the receiver. Instead you have to assign the function ordering by software in the MICROBEAST PLUS receiver setup menu, so that the unit "knows" what control function each incoming channel is used for.
There are single-line receivers available that supply additional single channel connectors/servo outputs similar to a standard receiver. In combination with MICROBEAST PLUS you only have to treat such receivers as single-line receivers if you really use the single-line function. If you connect the receiver by using the standard 5-plug layout, such receiver has to be considered as "standard" receiver in the following.
In general the single line connection wire is plugged into the [ELE|DI1] input of MICROBEAST PLUS. When using the signal of a single Spektrum remote satellite you must connect the optional available Spektrum satellite adapter (Order Nr. BXA76009) in between, in order to supply the remote satellite with the correct voltage level.
