Hello, 

I am using Voxl2 with I/O board to connect FrSky receiver.

I am using FrSky x8R, and it has 3 pins (Voltage, Ground, and SBUS). Where on the other hand, the I/O does have SBUS Input/Output. I was trying to connect them to the SBUS on the receiver but it does not work. 

Should use only the one that is mentioned in the [documentation](https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-io-user-guide/) the FrSky R-XSR? 

Thank you

Hi @Abdullah01 
I can try to help you with the hardware side.
The FrSky RC receivers are a little confusing.
They have several SBUS denoted ports on the module.
This diagram shows which pins are utilized for our setup with the Voxl2 I/O board:

Apologies we do not have the MCBL-00065 for sale yet (it had an error we have yet to address), but if you are handy with a set of tweezers, and are willing to try these steps here to make your own, it's not that hard to pin the side needed for Voxl2 I/O with a 4-pin JST GH shroud.

You can use a cable like this for starter material: https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00015 and splice into the FrSky cable that came with your unit.

Hope this helps!
