I am building a Y6 from a FliteTest kit, and using the Quadrino Nano FC. There is a conflict with the EZ Connect wire harness installation
instructions online (flyingeinstein.com/index.php/tutorials/ezconnect), and the printed card (that came with the Nano) locations
and colors that I need help with. Please refer to the picture:
For the Y6, I need motors D3 (also labelled as “A” in the instructions) which is bottom rear motor on the “Y”.
Motor D9 (also labelled as “B”) which is top rear.
Motor D10 (also labelled as “C”) which is right top.
Motor D11 (also labelled as “D”) which is top left.
Per instructions “Configuring for Y6” (flyingeinstein.com/index.php/art … -y6-copter), I chose to use PPM.
Please refer to this picture:
Motor D5 plugged into P on radio harness is bottom right.
Motor D6 plugged into Y on radio harness is bottom left.
The wiring locations and colors of the EZ Connect motors harness I received do not match the picture in the user’s manual. Also, as you can see, my Nano is obviously a newer version than the one shown in the picture, so I am not sure the pin-outs are the exact same (probably, but just want to make sure!!).
I know that the colors of the wires are arbitrary, but for future add on’s clarity, I plan on matching the installation colors exactly, so if needed, I can refer to it to remember which wire does what!
My specific questions are:
Is my board pinned out exactly as the picture shows in the installation manual?
Which wire goes to motor D11? What color should it be?
Is the location of the wire shown as D11 in the installation manual correct on the EZ Connect harness connector?
Hi, All!
I am building a Y6 from a FliteTest kit, and will be using a Turnigy 9XR Transmitter with SmartieParts 9Extreme upgrade board.
I have replaced the module in the transmitter with a FrSky XJT to give me up to 16 channels and telemetry. I am using a FrSky X8R
receiver, so elected to connect to the Nano with SBus to give me a faster digital signal. I have configured SBus on the Tx and the Nano via the FCT.
I have not been able to find any data online on how to wire the receiver to the Nano. I have enclosed a picture of the Rx to show
the SBus connector and pin outs:
Try connecting the normal RC outputs first, as opposed to the serial connection.
The sample code for the Quadrino Nano is waiting RC PWM signals, not serial, so you would need to modify the code.
Coleman,
I assume from your answer that SBus (or a serial connection) is a yet untapped future feature? I thought it wasn’t a problem because the FCT has the option to select SBus (although the channel selection options were then not configurable…), and I was able to flash the Nano.
I’ll set it up for PPM and see how it goes…
BTW, I must have somehow entered this subject as a reply to my first post re: EZ Connect wiring harness. Any way to move either one to it’s own subject (they are separate subjects…)?
Thanks for the help!!

The MultiWii code does allow for serial communication, but the Quadrino Nano Flight Controller software assumes RC.
The current use of the serial pins is to output sensor data robotshop.com/blog/en/lynxmo … tion-16354
More information about using the serial lines for actual control can be found on the MultiWii website.
We have not gone into this much in the QN guide since most customers do not use that functionality. multiwii.com/wiki/index.php? … l_Protocol
I just bought a DJI Ocusync Kit with the Race Edition goggles. The module itself has an SBUS connection to (I think) send RC commands along with the video up/downlink. Did the Quadrino Nano ever get full SBUS support?
The “SBus” name is used for many different systems and it doesn’t mean they are compatible together. (SBus Wikipedia)
Regarding the Quadrino Nano, the MultiWii firmware allow for communication with the Futaba SBus for the Transmitter/Receiver.
I am using the Fly sky FS-iA6B, 2.4Ghz, 6 channel receiver and the Fly Sky FS-i6 transmitter.
I successfully bind them but unable to connect to the quadrino, can you please guide me how and where i have to connect the receiver if I want to use PPM?
Actually it was working properly when i tried for first time.
But later on when i unplugged the battery and again plugged it, its not working.
Like I can able to see the signals from the transmitter on WinGui and LED’s are also blinking when I am making the throttle to its max but the motors are not turning on.
So could you please tell me what might be the reason and help me with some solution?
I just want to know how can i Charge mt Lipo 11.1V, 2500mah, 30C battery.
I got a LiPro Balance Charger but when I am trying to charge the battery its showing me the Low Voltage error on the charger.
Can you please guide me on this?
Maybe if you upload pictures as well as the information regarding the battery and charger i will be able to help a bit more.
You might have already discharged your battery bellow the minimum voltage as well.
