JETI EXBUS
EXBUS is a very versatile protocol. Not only it can send control data to the flybarless system, it can also be used to transmit telemetry data and even display menu on the radio or JETI box. You can connect the EXBUS data line at different ports at your MICROBEAST or NANOBEAST. Make sure that the receiver output is set to EXBUS (not UDI, SPPM or else).
Connection scheme
| Port | Telemetry | JETIBox menu |
|---|---|---|
| DI1 | no | no |
| SYS | yes | yes |
| DI2 | yes | yes |
Using EXBUS to control your helicopter is possible with any of the BEASTX devices. Connect the receiver's EXBUS port with the DI1 / IO1 port of your BEASTX system using one of the provided standard servo wires.
The ESC or throttle servo is connected at CH5 / IO2 output.
For bi-directional telemetry connect the EXBUS signal wire either to the SYS port or to the DI2 port of your MICROBEAST PLUS / ULTRA. When using the DI2 port an adapter from standard servo connector to 5-pin JST is required.
MICROBEAST PLUS
The ESC or throttle servo is connected at DI1 port. If needed the telemetry data line from the ESC is connected to the CH5 port.
MICROBEAST ULTRA
The ESC or throttle servo is connected at IO1 port. If needed the telemetry data line from the ESC is connected to the IO2 port.
NANOBEAST
The ESC or throttle servo is connected at CH1 port.
BEASTX setup
In order to use your EXBUS receiver you have to scan the input type in the RECEIVER MENU of your BEASTX device and set the correct channel ordering
for your radio system. By default the BEASTX system has a preset channel order that fits to most JETI radios. If needed you can change the channel ordering in RECEIVER MENU of the BEASTX system.
| Channel | Function |
|---|---|
| CH1 | Throttle |
| CH2 | Roll / Aileron |
| CH3 | Pitch / Elevator |
| CH4 | Thrust / Collective |
| CH5 | Rudder |
| CH6 | Gain |
| CH7 | AttitudeControl (optional) |
| CH8 | Governor (optional) |
| CH9 | Aux channel (optional) |
(The optional functions are described in the section Optional features.)
