FrSky X8R
Receiver
Description
FrSky has just released their new 16 Channel X8R receiver! (8 normal PWM
outputs and all 16 channels on the dedicated S.BUS output)
The X8R is in a Smaller package then previous 8 channel receivers, but has
so much more capability. The new Smart Port supports the new hub-less
sensors as well as the older hub analog sensors.
The X8R supports 8 standard servo outputs, and you can access all 16
channels by using the Sbus line with Sbus supported servos or use a FrSky
S.BUS Decoder for the full 16 channels. Or you can use 2 X8R receivers in
combination and the channels will sync 1-8 on the first and 9-16 on the
second.
The new X8 protocol is also backward compatible! In D8 mode it work with the
DHT, DJT, DFT and DHT-U transmitter modules. In this mode you only have
access to 8 channels but you still get to use the new Smart Port and digital
sensors! And even cooler is the new antenna design PCB it reports up to a
20% gain in range over their older antennas. And the X8R is Firmware
Upgradeable!
This is the perfect receiver for the FrSky Taranis, with its built in XJT
Module or any of the D8 systems to take advantage of the new digital Smart
Port sensors.
