How to Use FlySky_10_Channel: Examples, Pinouts, and Specs

The FlySky_10_Channel (Manufacturer Part ID: FS-iA10B) is a 10-channel radio control system designed for remote control applications. Manufactured in China, this component is widely used in drones, RC vehicles, boats, and other remote-controlled devices. It provides a reliable and robust communication link between the transmitter and receiver, ensuring precise control and responsiveness.

• Remote-controlled drones and quadcopters
• RC cars, trucks, and boats
• Robotics and automation systems
• Model aircraft and helicopters
• Custom remote control projects

The FlySky_10_Channel system is designed to deliver high performance and reliability. Below are its key technical specifications:

The FS-iA10B receiver features multiple pins for connecting servos, ESCs, and other components. Below is the pin configuration:

1. Power the Receiver: Connect a power source (4.0V – 6.5V) to the B/VCC and GND pins.
2. Bind the Receiver to the Transmitter:
   • Turn on the transmitter and set it to binding mode.
   • Press and hold the bind button on the receiver while powering it on.
   • Wait for the LED on the receiver to indicate a successful bind.
3. Connect Servos or ESCs:
   • Attach servos or ESCs to the appropriate channel pins (CH1–CH10) based on your control requirements.
4. Test the System:
   • Move the transmitter controls to verify that the servos or motors respond correctly.

• Ensure the receiver is securely mounted to avoid vibrations or damage during operation.
• Keep the receiver's antennas away from metal parts or other electronics to minimize interference.
• Use a battery eliminator circuit (BEC) if your ESC does not provide regulated power to the receiver.
• Perform a range test before operating the system to ensure reliable communication.

The FS-iA10B can be used with an Arduino UNO to read PWM signals from the receiver. Below is an example code snippet:

// Example: Reading PWM signals from FS-iA10B receiver using Arduino UNO
// Connect CH1 of the receiver to pin 2 of the Arduino UNO

const int receiverPin = 2; // Pin connected to CH1 of the receiver
volatile unsigned long pulseStart = 0;
volatile unsigned long pulseWidth = 0;

void setup() {
  pinMode(receiverPin, INPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);

  // Attach interrupt to measure PWM signal
  attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(receiverPin), measurePulse, CHANGE);
}

void loop() {
  // Print the pulse width (in microseconds) to the Serial Monitor
  Serial.print("Pulse Width: ");
  Serial.print(pulseWidth);
  Serial.println(" us");
  delay(100);
}

void measurePulse() {
  if (digitalRead(receiverPin) == HIGH) {
    // Record the time when the pulse starts
    pulseStart = micros();
  } else {
    // Calculate the pulse width when the pulse ends
    pulseWidth = micros() - pulseStart;
  }
}

• Ensure the receiver is powered and bound to the transmitter before running the code.
• Adjust the receiverPin variable if using a different channel.

1. Receiver Not Binding to Transmitter:

   • Ensure the transmitter and receiver are compatible.
   • Verify that both devices are in binding mode.
   • Check the power supply to the receiver.

2. No Response from Servos or Motors:

   • Confirm that the receiver is properly bound to the transmitter.
   • Check the connections to the servos or ESCs.
   • Ensure the transmitter is configured correctly for the assigned channels.

3. Interference or Signal Loss:

   • Keep the receiver's antennas away from metal objects or other electronics.
   • Perform a range test to ensure the system operates within the specified range.

4. Receiver LED Not Lighting Up:

   • Verify the power supply voltage and connections.
   • Check for any physical damage to the receiver.

Q: Can the FS-iA10B be used with other brands of transmitters?
A: No, the FS-iA10B is designed to work exclusively with FlySky transmitters.

Q: What is the maximum range of the FS-iA10B?
A: The receiver has a maximum range of up to 500 meters in line-of-sight conditions.

Q: Can I use fewer than 10 channels?
A: Yes, you can use as many channels as required for your application. Unused channels can be left unconnected.

Q: Is the FS-iA10B compatible with telemetry modules?
A: Yes, the FS-iA10B supports telemetry when used with compatible FlySky transmitters.
