FrSky Protocols

原文

A word of warning about the FrSky hardware. FrSky, like Spektrum, has through a number of variations on the protocol. And, also like Spektrum, they aren't always backwards compatible. You'll run into 3 different protocols, and they aren't necessarily compatible.

The oldest is the V8 protocol, used by the Rx's that start with V. No telemetry available. This is supported by deviation as "Frsky-V8".

The newer protocol is "D", which deviation just calls "Frsky". This has telemetry, and is generally used by the D series receivers. I believe some V series Rx's can do D without telemetry, and some D series Rx's can do V also without telemetry support. There are now clone D8 Rx's available as well.

The newest protocol is called "D16", and is generally done by the X series receivers. Deviation does not support D16. Some of the X series receivers can be set to D8 mode. However, the X series Rx's have a different telemetry connector, which doesn't work if they are in D8 mode.

It's now illegal to sell or buy V or D8 Rx's in the EU, though the Chinese warehouses that people tend to buy through probably don't enforce this.

FrSky also makes clones of various other protocols, like FASST. I don't know if any of those are supported, but you want to make sure the Rx you buy is supported by FrSky.

Since I'm on a roll...

DSM2 is not quite real FHSS, and probably also illegal in the EU. Except for very special circumstances, you shouldn't be buying DSM2 only Rx's. DSM2 vs. DSMX will only be an issue in very high noise environments. Unless you're flying spektrum-licensed gear on both ends, differences in the implementation can make one work better than the other, and there's some weird discontinuity at 6 channels, such that some 6 channel gear doesn't work well with 7+ channel gear.

Unlike the FrSky Rx's, most of the DSM Rx's require an external module to get telemetry. The Spektrum Rx's generally require another module to get some form of diversity and for the most part don't offer any form of combined signal output. These things can be an issue for smaller models and those who (like me) prefer simpler builds. The latest OrangeRx clones are the only DSM Rx's that offer diversity and telemetry in one module, though I haven't tried one yet.
