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>
