    I am trying to connect a Frsky X8R-PCB receiver with voxl 2. Which cable is suitable for connecting it with J19 port of voxl 2 ?

      Hi @Tamas-Pal-0 ,

      Out of J19, the native RC input is DSMX (Spektrum) based UART.

      FrSky has an inverted signal... and not directly supported in HW natively, but we will soon release a "PX4 IO" inspired board that will enable support, see here, for example:

          Hi @Tamas-Pal-0 ,

          Here's what we make for the Sentinel drone, where we have the spektrum bind board in series along with a GPS/mag:
          https://www.modalai.com/products/voxl-2-gps-mag-rc-assembly?variant=40673762869299

          If it's just the RC input you need, then using a 12 pin JST GH connector and pins 9/11/12 of this connector: https://beta-docs.modalai.com/voxl2-connectors/#j19-pin-out and you can make a custom cable.
