Receiver power

Post by plumcat3 »

Is it permissible to use the Smart port, RSSi port or the SBUS port for power input? (X8R ACCST)
Thank you,

Only if you have few and small servos as the power would have to go through thin tracks all across the receiver.

Or the other 2 connections that are on the same side as the servo plugs... SBUS and RSSI are better, smart port is not.

Good to know Kilrah
I was wondering if you could power these receivers by using the non servo interfaces. But didn't want to do a thirty dollars test😀
I understand the s bus and smart port, what is the RSSI ports function?
