==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 />

* The single-line connection wire is plugged into the [DI1] input of MICROBEAST PLUS
The single-line connection wire is plugged into the [DI1] input of MICROBEAST PLUS. The throttle servo or ESC is connected to the [CH5] output. When using a speed controller with BEC, from here the power will be distributed to receiver and servos. Alternatively or additionally you can connect a power supply/second BEC wire/buffering battery to the [SYS] port and to the receiver (in case this has additional servo or battery ports). 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.</p>

==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!<br />

After successful binding procedure the receiver‘s LED will stay solid. LED '''H''' respectively '''N''' flash alternately to all other LEDs for 2 seconds, then MICROBEAST PLUS will enter receiver setup menu automatically as further setup steps may be required to use this type of receiver. Remove the bind plug and proceed with the setup as described in the following of this manual.</p>
