Peter King replied to Stone1295's discussion Pixhawk + Taranis X9D + FrSky X8R

"Worked it out in the end. I found the default Taranis firmware is faulty so I made a video showing how to fix it if others have the same issue. This does not require any SBUS convertors and only one X8R receiver needed.
