Notes Regarding Spektrum Installations and Equipment Selection
There are several choices of communication method when using Spektrum equipment.
They are listed here from the most capable/preferred to the least:
- SRXL - SRXL is serial data on one wire (similar to s.bus). It gives the Aura knowledge of all of the available Spektrum channels.
- Aura will follow the Failsafe outputs of the SPM Receiver.
- Recommended for all aircraft types
- Reciever Ports can be used along with Aura Ports.
- AR12120, AR12020, AR9020, and AR7700 are supported with Aura Firmware 1.3 and higher
- AR8010T, AR9030T, AR9130T, and AR12300T are supported with Aura Firmware 1.4 and higher
- Generally we recommend full range receivers for aircraft up to 40cc, and full range receivers with 3 or more receivers (antenna) for 50cc and larger aircraft
- Remote Receiver Serial
- Install and bind through mini-ports A and B
- Aura has knowledge of all available Spektrum channels
- DSMX is recommended, DSM2 is also supported at this time.
- Works with all known Spektrum Brand Receivers outputting the 'Remote Receiver Signal'. This now includes several types of remotes and serial data receivers.
- Recommended for Electric aircraft up to 120 size
- While the users discretion, we don't recommend their use on ignition engines. With the recent broad availability SRXL Receivers (including low cost ones), we feel it is more conservative and appropriate to use them as they offer the benefits of additional buffer between the ignition and the Aura, and ports for the throttle, choke, and ignition from the receiver and its direct failsafe as well.
- PWM (Servo Leads)
- Recommended for all aircraft types.
- Supports virtually and receiver
- Limits port availability. Typically Aura will be configured with 4 inputs and 4 outputs with PWM.
- PPM (all Servo pulses on one wire)
- Works with all aircraft type based on Receiver capability.
- Limited Spektrum Receivers use it (AR7700)
- Since most of these Receivers also offer SRXL, SRXL is preferred
