    Trying to bind my Frsky RC with my m500 drone. Followed the instructions from the VOXL m500 setup video, couldn't bind it. What are to be ensured to bind the RC?

      No, only a Spektrum transmitter will bind with a Spektrum receiver. You need a FrSky receiver connected to the Flight Core to bind to an FrSky transmitter.

        This is the type of receiver that might work (need to check compatibility with your transmitter) https://www.amazon.com/FrSky-Taranis-Compatible-Receiver-8-Channel/dp/B00RCAHHFM/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=rc+sbus+receiver&qid=1582226969&sr=8-3

        You'll need to remove the Spektrum and install the Frsky receiver at J004 https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-flight-datasheet-connectors/#j1004---rc-input--spektrumsbususart6-connector

          Little more detail, we've validated with FrSky X8R reciever and Taranis X7 transmitter with the following setup:

          We have a new cable about to come out to assist with this wiring as well:
