MICROBEAST PLUS can work with a lot of different receiver types and radio brands and 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 servo output to one specific control function at the MICROBEAST PLUS using one connection wire for each function. You have these 5 input functions (wires): Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, Collective pitch and gyro gain. Simply connect each wire to the corresponding channel output port 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 other radio system on the market together with MICROBEAST PLUS when using the servo output channels of the receiver, not only these two brands!

=Receivers with single wire output (single-line receivers)=

With a single-line receiver all channels (control functions) are transmitted by one single connection wire to MICROBEAST PLUS. This is done by packing all channel output data to a data paket or by chaining the servo signals to one output port. At the moment MICROBEAST PLUS supports the following systems: Multiplex® SRLX, Spektrum® SRXL, Futaba® SBus, JR® X-Bus(B), Jeti® UDI, Jeti® EXBus, ALIGN® iBus, FlySky® iBus, Graupner HOTT® SUMD, SPPM<br />

{{QUOTE|There are single-line receivers available that supply additional single channel connectors/servo outputs. 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 and as shown above.}}<br />

'''When using a big heli with standard size servos it may be insufficient to only provide power at the [SYS] port or receiver.''' Note when only connecting power at the receiver, all the current has to flow over one thin wire to the servos! If there are no other ports left to (additionally) feed in power, we highly recommend using the MICROBEAST PLUS HD which has an additional high power input to reduce wiring resistance and to serve todays demands for a robust servo power supply.<br />
