X8R7 Receiver Problems

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

I installed a X8D module in a Futaba 7CAP transmitter.  After sorting out a few issues I was able to bind the module to a X8R7 receiver,  I plugged in the servos and everything seemed OK.  To make sure I moved the receiver away from the transmitter.  The Rx immediately began to flash red and green, and the servos quit working.  After making a number attempts to make is work  I can occasionally get the Rx to lock (green light on), but if move the receiver at all or try to plug a servo into it the RX  immediately goes back to flashing red and green.  I think I may have a defective Rx.  Anyone have any other ideas what could be going on?

	Have you tried a different channel? Sometimes, from what I've heard, they can be fussy as to the channel used.

	If you mean, have I tried plugging the battery into different channels on the receiver; yes I have. Doesn't seem to make a whole lot of difference.

	What is the voltage you put on the receiver?? So what kind of battery?

	sometimes with 2.4 you need to plug all the servo's in and then power up and bind the rx to the tx. i have heard of people having trouble when they have bound the rx/tx and then try to plug in servos.
