That is why I said to switch the transmitter to iBus!

Yes mate, but the TK60 board comes with or without sbus capability - if it is not a TK60SP (or SPW/SPWG2) ie no "S" in the model designator it will not work in sbus mode regardless of what mote the TX unit is set to! If the board did not come with the sus lead it isn't sbus compatible and will not function in sbus mode.

If you read all the posts, you will see that the OP states it is a TK60P that he has. That is why I am telling him to reset his transmitter to ibus mode!

This is the lead that will be supplied with the board if it is sbus compatible

Please read all the posts. The OP has clearly stated that he has a TK60P board.

"P" in the model designator = programmable, "S" (eg SP) = sbus compatible. OP does NOT have an sbus-compatible board

From the Clark TK60 instruction manual (link posted earlier)

Once again, please read the posts. We have already established that he does not have an sbus compatible board. I shall remove any further comments.

Mr black knight sir, why are you trolling this thread?

It has been clearly stated that the board the OP has does NOT have an Sbus designation, and all the advice has been given with regards NOT having an Sbus designation.

So why the F are you banging on about a bloody Sbus ?

The confusion might be due to the setting the radio to iBus comments, but I'm only guessing. iBus and Sbus are similar, but incompatible technologies. The non-SBus version should be using PWM shouldn't it? Maybe setting this particular type of system to iBus enables the PWM outputs also. I don't know since I don't have that radio.

There maybe a few members who are not familiar with the difference between IBUS and SBUS protocols, and I found this article ( I posted once before, I think) to be very useful:

Can somebody read and clarify this , I think Black Knight is correct but I may be mistaken !
