Radiolink R6DS: 2.4GHz 6/10 Channel RC Receiver
(FHSS and DSSS Spread Spectrum)
Product Overview
The Radiolink R6DS is a 2.4GHz, 6/10 channel receiver designed for RC applications. It operates using DSSS and FHSS spread spectrum technology, ensuring synchronous and reliable communication. This receiver is compatible with Radiolink transmitters such as the AT9, AT9S, AT9S Pro, AT10, and AT10II. It offers the flexibility to output SBUS, PPM, and PWM signals simultaneously, making it suitable for a wide range of flight controllers and aircraft.
The receiver is compact, lightweight (3.5 grams), and features high precision and fast response times, making it an excellent choice for light drones and other RC models.
Product Features
- DSSS & FHSS technology for superior anti-interference performance, particularly effective on 433MHz and graph transmission.
- Simultaneous output of SBUS, PPM, and PWM signals.
- Fast response time: 3ms for all channels in parallel.
- High precision: 4096 steps with 0.25us resolution per step, ensuring stable servo operation and anti-shake rudder control.
- Sub-miniature size and ultra-lightweight design (3.5 grams), ideal for drones and light aircraft without adding significant burden.
- Broad compatibility with popular flight controllers including DJI NAZA, ZERO TECH, PIX, APM, MINI APM, NAZE32, and CC3D.
- Simplified setup with a single cable connection to the flight controller.
Operating Modes
The R6DS receiver supports two primary operating modes:
1. PWM Signal Working Mode
In this mode, the receiver outputs 6 channels via PWM signals. The status is indicated by a red LED.
Pinout Configuration (PWM Mode):
- CH1: AILE (Aileron)
- CH2: ELEV (Elevator)
- CH3: THRO (Throttle)
- CH4: RUDD (Rudder)
- CH5: AUX (Auxiliary)
- CH6: AUX (Auxiliary)
Visual Description: The receiver has labeled pins. CH1 to CH6 are arranged sequentially, each corresponding to a specific control surface or function.
2. SBUS/PPM Signal Working Mode
This mode provides up to 10 channels. The status is indicated by a blue/purple LED.
- CH1: PPM signal output.
- CH2: SBUS signal output.
- CH3: PWM signal output (often used for throttle or specific helicopter functions).
- CH4 to CH6: Output independent PWM signals corresponding to channels CH8 to CH10.
Pinout Configuration (SBUS/PPM Mode):
- CH1: PPM signal
- CH2: SBUS signal
- CH3: THRO PWM signal
- CH8: AUX PWM signal
- CH9: AUX PWM signal
- CH10: AUX PWM signal
Visual Description: The receiver pins are labeled. CH1 is designated for PPM, CH2 for SBUS. CH3 is labeled for throttle PWM. Channels CH8, CH9, and CH10 are also available as independent PWM outputs, accessed via pins typically labeled for CH4, CH5, and CH6 in this mode.
Signal Mode Change
To switch between PWM and SBUS/PPM modes, briefly press the ID SET switch twice within one second. The receiver's LED will change color to indicate the active mode: red for normal PWM, and blue/purple for SBUS/PPM.
Binding Process (Matching Code with Transmitter)
- Ensure the transmitter and receiver are placed within 1 meter of each other.
- Turn on the transmitter, then power on the R6DS receiver.
- Connect the R6DS to your ESC, flight controller, or servo.
- Locate the black binding button on the R6DSM (receiver). Press and hold this button for approximately one second until the receiver's light begins to blink. Release the button.
- The receiver light will blink about 8 times, after which the binding process is successful, and the receiver signal LED will remain constantly on.
Antenna Installation Guidelines
- For optimal signal range, keep the antenna as straight as possible.
- On large model aircraft that may have metal components interfering with the signal, position the antenna on the side of the model.
- Maintain a distance of at least half an inch between the antenna and conductive materials such as metal or carbon fiber. The coaxial part of the antenna is less sensitive, but avoid bending it sharply.
- Position the antenna away from potential noise sources like motors, ESCs, and other electronic components.
- When installing the receiver into the model, it can be secured using sponge or foam for shock absorption and protection.
After completing these steps, ensure the receiver is functioning correctly under the transmitter's control.
