I'm trying to use my Futaba T8J in my Phantom 2. It worked great in my Phantom 1, but I'm running into problems with it in v2.
I tried two install methods. The first was to bind the existing receiver to the FT8J, but I could not bind the two. Another thread here suggested that they cannot be bound (Futaba radio to DJI RX) but I had read elsewhere that they can be bound. Does anyone know definitively which is true? My experience suggests the former.
The second install method I tried was to swap the receiver control from the DJI RX to the Futaba RX. Unlike the v1, there are two identical wire sets coming (x2 and X3) out of the Naza (now labeled Phantom) and connecting to the RX board. I connected the same port number (X2) to the Futaba RX and was able to see control values all in the correct range in the DJI software when connected to a computer, but I could not get the props to spin up with the Futaba RX (by radio disconnected from the computer). The DJI radio works fine.
Any pointers? Also is the RX board doing double duty now ans is needed for something else? What is the second connector for?
Thanks!
