It’s sometimes hard to find good information, so here’s the diagram you require!
Once you connect everything up you will need to set the following in Cleanflight
UART1 = LEAVE AS IS (For USB connection)
UART2 = SBUS

Change Receiver Mode to Serial
This build log will cover the various build steps in the Emax Nighthawk X Frame Kits
We sell the EMAX X5 & X6 RTF and this guide helps to show the professionalism and amount of work required to put one together. The guide assumes the reader has some skill and basic equipment available if building the quad themselves.
Please note that this guide was created for our custom builds for Customers so they can simply drag in our models, bind their receiver to their new quad and start flying.
You may use these models as templates for your own quads but we will not be responsible for any mishaps you cause.
NOTE: Once you are using our Taranis model and betaflight setup below, this is the switch configuration
CH5 = AUX 2 = ARM = SF
CH 6 = AUX 1 = Modes = SC
CH 7 = AUX 3 = Air Mode/Buzzer = SD
CH 8 = AUX 4 = Nothing Setup = SA
CH 9 = AUX 5 = LED Strip = SB
CH 10 = AUX 6 = Nothing Setup = SE
Other Features
S1 is volume of your Taranis
All Switches tell you when armed, disarmed and what mode etc.
SH Switch says current Battery Voltage
Voltage warnings will occur at 14.4, 13.6 and 13.65
SG Position 2 and 3 will play your favourite songs
SE Position 3 will cheer your mates when they crash.
Please note that these are full restore settings for Firmware listed.
These can be used as a base for your tune as well, however no two crafts fly the same due to many variables such as battery weight and other factors
These are also set up to mirror our Models from Taranis as per above, so please check all your modes/switches if using different transmitter/setup.

Here I will address quite a few problems with the Eachine Falcon 180, and walk you through fixing them.
If you have never upgraded or used Cleanflight, the details may be very technical, but I will try my best for step by step instructions.
Let me address some of them here as well as screenshots of all the default settings at the bottom. I will attempt to rectify and help Blade185 buyers fix most of the issues I have found.

To Change the Eaching i6 Transmitter settings, Hold the yaw trim to the right, the roll trim to the left and turn on the transmitter. You can then enter settings by holding down ok on the Transmitter.
Eachine have been getting better at building Quads, but for the life of me I can’t understand why they still get so many basic things wrong.

So the other day I had a pretty big crash into mud..
The solution is to strip the motors apart, get a really hot container of water (boiling) and then jiggle it in until you get all dirt out.
I had to use a toothbrush in some parts (be careful) Continue reading “How to clean out your FPV Racing Motors from dirt or grass” »
For some strange reason which I have yet to identify… my ESC was powered when FC was hooked up to computer. This meant I could not drag sliders to MAX, plug in battery as when i dragged to max, the motor would spin and not engaged the calibration.
To solve this I had to do it a manual way using CLI commands. Continue reading “How to calibrate ESCs when your Flight Controller powers the ESC” »
Usually F3 boards will come with Cleanflight 1.9.0 and there has been a tonne of updates since then.
I tried flashing and kept getting the error “Communication with bootloader failed”
Download the latest Betaflight or Cleanflight from the website (at this time it is betaflight_2.6.1_SPRACINGF3.hex)
Then goto firmware on clean flight configuration tab and make sure you load the file then change the settings to this
-Full chip erase.
-Manual baud rate 256000.
Flash and it should work!
