MICROBEAST PLUS can work with a lot of different receiver types and radio brands, especially with different types of radio signal protocols. Depending on which signal protocol and receiver you intend to use, the wiring layout may vary. In the following you can see all supported protocols and specific wiring schemes for each receiver type. '''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 receiver with single wire output it is possible that connectors are plugged in with no adjacent neighbors. Such plugs should additionally be secured against loosening.<br />

A conventional receiver with multiple servo output connectors is what we consider a "Standard receiver". Here you connect each output to one control function of MICROBEAST PLUS by using one connection wire for each function. The 5 control functions (wires) are: Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, Collective pitch and Gyro gain. Connect each wire to the corresponding servo output at the receiver which you like to use for the specific function. If you don't know which stick controls which channel have a look at your radio's servo monitor, refer to your radios instruction manual or simply connect a servo to each channel testwise!<br />

Here we show connection layouts for two common radio brands. Note that this is only exemplary, the channel output of your transmitter can by different even when using a radio of this brand. And you can use any radio system on the market, not only these two brands!

Remote receivers (Spektrum® DSMX/DSM2, JR® DMSS, ALIGN® iBus) can be directly connected to the white pin board at the side of MICROBEAST ULTRA. Here the receiver will be powered with a stabilized voltage of 3.3 Volts! Voltage is the first pin from the front/right, minus is the second pin from the right, signal is connected at the third pin from the right.<br />

Receivers with bidirectional telemetry uplink (Spektrum® SRXL2 & Jeti® EXBUS) must be connected to the pin board at the side of MICROBEAST PLUS. To connect a receiver with standard servo connectors, i.e. the SPEKTRUM® '''AR6610T''', '''AR8020T''' or JETI EXBUS receivers, you need an adapter from servo plug to JST-ZH type. We offer a special adapter if needed - order nr. BXA76403. Voltage is the first pin from the left, signal is connected at the third pin from the left. Minus is the second pin from the front/right.<br />

* You can connect a power supply (second BEC wire, battery) to the [SYS] port and/or to the receiver (in case this has additional servo or battery ports). All servo ports will form a parallel power circuit (except the port [RUD|PIT|AUX]; please do not connect anything here!).<br />

<br /> '''When using a big heli with standard size servos it may be insufficient to only provide power at the [SYS] port or receiver.''' Adding additional power wires is highly recommended! If there are no other ports left to additionally feed in power, we recommend using the MICROBEAST PLUS HD which comes witch an additional high power input. This reduces wiring resistance and serves todays demands for a robust servo power supply.<br />
