RC Input

All compatible RC protocols can be decoded by attaching the Receiver's output to the SBUS input pin next to the Servo/Output VCC input connector. Note that some protocols such as CRSF or FPort including telemetry, require connection to, and setup of, one of the UARTs instead of this pin.

Battery Monitor Settings

These should already be set by default. However, if lost or changed:

Enable Battery monitor with these parameter settings :

:ref:BATT_MONITOR<BATT_MONITOR> =4

Then reboot.
