NAZA-M Lite & FS-CT6A receiver

[pkout]

Hello, I got one of the DJI 450F quadcopters with the NAZA-M Lite controller. I also got what is not the best transmitter/receiver combo, but it should work from what I read online. It's the 6 channel FS-CT6A transmitter/receiver. What I am stuck at is how to hook up the receiver to the NAZA controller. The receiver has a dedicated connector for the battery. The type of the connector is the same like the channel connectors (3-wire cable). Can you please advise how I should connect the power connector on the receiver to the NAZA controller? Thank you!

That's for a BEC. Just connect the 6 channel wires to the 6 inputs on the Naza. It will get power from the Naza.

Oh, that simple. Ok. I will try that. Thanks a lot!

Hi Rilot. I tried your suggestion and it works in the sense that the receiver is powered by the board, but the NAZA-M Lite isn't recognizing responding to the changing controls on the transmitter. I connected channel 1 to A on the MC, channel 2 on E, channel 3 on T and channel 4 on R, then ran Naza M-Lite Assistant and went to the RC tab. When I move around the sticks on my transmitter, the app doesn't move the corresponding sliders. Also, the blue icon "LED" at the bottom of the user interface is blinking wildly. From the docs, I gather that it means that there is a communication problem between the computer and the MC. But that shouldn't be related to the receiver and not being "heard" by the MC. I binded the transmitter to the receiver and I tested the transmitter using the T6config.exe software. It seems to work fine. If you have any ideas or recommendations, I would very much appreciate it.

In the Naza Assistant, have you set the receiver to PWM mode? The default is D-Bus and won't work with that receiver.

If you meant "PPM" mode, then yes, I tried that, too. In fact, I tried all of the modes: Tradition, D-Bus, PPM. It never responds to the moving sticks. I wonder if this means that my receiver is dead. I'll try to test the receiver using Arduino. Attached is a screenshot of my Naza Assistant RC screen. If you really meant PWM mode, I can't find it in the software. Would you please let me know what tab it's under? View attachment 17771 I should add that I took this screenshot when the Naza Assistant was not connected to the copter. Sorry that it's so small. The forum shrunk the image upon upload. If you have any other thoughts how to tackle this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Sorry, I meant Traditional. I forgot that DJI call PWM Traditional.
If it's set to Traditional and you're certain that your rx is bound to your tx correctly then I'm stuck.

I will test the receiver using arduino later today and if it turns out that the receiver is broken or I find out why it's happening, I will report it here to let others know if they search for this. Thanks for your help, Rilot!

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I solved the problem by purchasing Taranis 9x transmitter/receiver combo. It work with it. I guess my original receiver was sending out pulses in some pattern that is not recognizable by NAZA. Problem solved now and I am happily flying my copter. Thanks for your help!
