Spektrum® DSM/JR® DMSS remote satellite

A special type of single-line receiver is the remote satellite. These receivers are usually used as additional receiving unit in combination with a (bigger) main receiver to provide a more robust and fail safe radio system. But also you can directly connect one of such receivers to MICROBEAST PLUS to achieve a small and light weight radio system to be used in small sized rc models. MICROBEAST PLUS supports the following systems: Spektrum® DSM2, Spektrum® DSMX, JR® DMSS. The remote receiver can be directly connected to the small sized white pin board at the side which will provide a stabilized voltage of 3.3 Volts which is necessary to power these receivers. Alternatively if you have the optional available Spektrum® satellite adapter (Order Nr. BXA76009) also you can connect the receiver at the front to the [DI1] port, just like any other single-wire receiver, so you can keep the pin board free for connecting a sensor.

Please note: MICROBEAST PLUS does not support connecting more than one remote satellite at a time!

When using a speed controller with BEC, the power will be distributed from [CH5] input to receiver and servos. Alternatively or additionally you can connect a power supply/second BEC wire/buffering battery to the [SYS] port.

Using a remote satellite is only recommended for small rc modells like helicopters of 450 size or smaller. Due to the design one single receiving unit is more prone to radio interference and can result in reduced transmission range.
