Flysky Gt5 Setup
Zee Palmer
Hi @Matteo_Scanavino
In my setup, I use a PIXHAWK 2.4.8 with FS-IA6B PPM and it is working fine, as consequence I cannot guarantee 100% that it will work with PIXHAWK 4. On the other hand, considering that such stuff does not change much among PIXHAWK models (at the end of the day is a PPM port) my guess is that there is a great possibility that it works as well.
If you need any support feel free to contact me.
Hi @Bravepaulo I have Flysky transmitter FS-i6 model and receiver FS-iA6 which supports PPM . But I am confused here is PPM and PPMSUM is same thing. I am connecting the receiver but no luck. Should I buy FS-iA6B receiver. Will it work with FSi6 trasmitter.
On the other hand, regarding the receiver, only FS-iA6B supports PPM. If you want to use PPM serial port, you have to use a FS-iA6B.
I did not mention this in my previous post, but I also use FS-i6 radio transmitter.
Thank you @Bravepaulo for your reply. Looks like I have to buy FSiA6B receiver and again try connecting flysky RC with pixhawk.
Also , do you need to enable ppm on pixhawk or it is enabled by default. I looked for difference between Receiver FS-iA6 and FS-IA6B but there is no difference except for longer range.
I have FS-IA6 receiver and FS-i6 transmitter and pixhawk 2.4.8 . I am using MissionPlanner for the control. When I connect with the pixhawk Transmitter and receiver bind successfully but I am unsure whether pixhawk recives the RC signal or not.
Is there a way to check it. ??
If you are using any other UAV software then kindly let me know.

I have FS-IA6 receiver and FS-i6 transmitter and pixhawk
Hi @vikas_kumar.
I work with PX4 and QGroundControl, and there is no need to enable PPM for this setup.
I am quite sure that the range is not the only difference between FS-iA6 and FS-IA6B. I believe the FS-iA6 has no PPM output.
On QGroundControl you can check the RC signals when you connecting the PIXHAWK (via USB or radio) to the computer running QGroundControl.
I am quite sure Mission Planner has also this feature.
Follow below a figure to illustrate it on QGroundControl.
Yes It works fine now. I brought receiver FS-iA6B and now it is working fine on both the GCS softwares i.e. QGroundControl as well as MissionPlanner.
You are right; FS-iA6 and FS-iA6B are different not only in terms of range. They might be varying in the signal output type also.
Everything is working fine. Also , I would like to point out about Enabling PPM RX in the transmitter, as mentioned in previous replies.
How can i display mavlink telemetry on my flysky i6 10ch mod tx and ia6b firmware ver 1.6.
Can i just connect pixhawk telemetry tx to ia6b sense port or do i need to interface between the ia6b and pixhawk telemetry port.
Not sure if the mavlink protocol needs to be converted to ibus sense format before been returned back to the flysky i6.
I have read that a arduino micro is connected between the pixhawk telemetry port and ia6b sense port to convert mavlink to ibus.
And read where the flight controller telemetry is just connected to a receiver to return telemetry.
Please help
