-* Using a modern digital receiver connection gives the Aura access to precise data of each channel for additional gyro enabled outputs, simplifies wiring, and allows for more advanced features.  If you are connecting your Receiver to Aura via a modern Digital Connection, continue to Step 5.1.A.

-*The Aura can be used with a traditional PWM Servo Connection from a standard receiver, but it may require Y-Harnessing the Ailerons (if dual elevator servos are used) and losing the capability turn off the gyro during flight or scale gains.  If you are connecting your Receiver to the Aura via traditional PWM Servo Connections, continue to Step 5.1.B.

-===== Step 5.1.A - Modern Digital Receiver Connections =====
+===== Step 5.1 - Modern Digital Receiver Connections =====
 A modern Digital Connection is Spektrum SRXL, Futaba S.Bus, Graupner Hott SUMD, JR Mode B, etc.  A single Male-to-Male servo extension is connected between the Digital Port on your Receiver and 'Port B' on the Aura as shown below.
