Remote satellite (Spektrum® DSM/JR® DMSS/ALIGN® iBus)

A special type of single-line receiver is the remote satellite. These receivers usually serve as additional receiving unit in combination with a (bigger) main receiver to provide a more robust and fail safe radio system. With MICROBEAST PLUS you can use such receivers as stand alone receiving unit to achieve a small and light weight radio system for small sized rc models. MICROBEAST PLUS supports the following systems: Spektrum® DSM2, Spektrum® DSMX, JR® DMSS and ALIGN® iBus. The remote receiver can be directly connected to the white pin board at the side of MICROBEAST PLUS. Here the receiver will be powered with a stabilized voltage of 3.3 Volts. Alternatively if you own the optional available Spektrum® satellite adapter (Order Nr. BXA76009) you can connect the receiver at the front pin board to the [DI1] digital input, just like most other single-wire receivers. This allows to keep the white pin board free for connecting a sensor.

Please note: MICROBEAST PLUS does not support connecting more than one remote satellite at a time!

When using a speed controller with BEC, the power will be distributed from [CH5] input to receiver and servos. Alternatively or additionally you can connect a power supply/second BEC wire/buffering battery to the [SYS] port.

Using a remote satellite is only recommended for small rc modells like helicopters of 450 size or smaller. Due to the design, one single receiving unit is more prone to radio interference and can result in reduced transmission range.
