To control your helicopter with 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.</p>

===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.<br />

The designation Spektrum®/Futaba® is only exemplary. You can use any radio system with at least 6 output channels to connect to MICROBEAST PLUS. For finding out how to connect the wires to MICROBEAST PLUS have a look at your radio's servo monitor and refer to the radio's instruction manual.</p>

Using a single-line receiver with additional servo output ports you can choose between connecting throttle servo/ESC and additional devices to MICROBEAST PLUS (figure 1) or directly to the receiver (figure 2). But note that when connecting the power supply at the receiver, MICROBEAST PLUS and the servos will only be supplied over the small single-line connection. Especially on big helis with standard size servos this might not be sufficient! Here it is mandatory to connect some supply lines in parallel to other free ports, such as [SYS] or [CH5] or better connect the power supply (i.e. ESC with BEC supply) directly to the MICROBEAST PLUS as shown in figure 1.</p>

{{QUOTE|[[Image:Warning.png|18px|sub]] 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. Nevertheless, 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.}}</p>

Insert a Spektrum® “Bind Plug” at the [SYS] port of MICROBEAST PLUS. In case the power is supplied exclusively at the [SYS] connection, to bind a Spektrum® satellite receiver the power supply must be provided temporarily through any of the other ports [CH1] - [CH5]. To select a '''DSM2''' satellite and to enter bind mode, simply switch on the power supply now. The LED on the receiver and LED '''N''' on MICROBEAST PLUS will start to flash. You can bind the transmitter as usual (for more information refer to the instructions of your radio control system). To select and bind a '''DSMX''' satellite, hold down the button on MICROBEAST PLUS while switching on the power supply. Now the receiver‘s LED and LED '''H''' (!) on the MICROBEAST PLUS will flash and you can release the button and bind the receiver with your transmitter.

After successful binding procedure the receiver‘s LED will stay solid. LED '''H''' respectively '''N''' flash alternately to all other LEDs. Now switch off the power supply and remove the bind plug. Continue with receiver type setup in the next step.</p>
