Hello I can't seem to get the integration to work. The reciver is a G-RX8 with the frsky integration cable, I am using the QX7 Lula script, but I cannot get it to work. Can anyone please help.
Thank you

In your middle pick of the receiver, it’s hard to tell the color ordering of the S.Port cable going into the S.Port on receiver. It’s a non-standard 4 port thing. What do you have going there and in what order? Looks like it’s probably correct but can’t hurt to check.

Also, is there any chance that you’re accidentally using an SBUS inverter accidentally instead of a FrSky integration cable?

Hi thank you for your reply, it was a new cable that I ordered with the Spirit 2, and hopefully I have it connected properly.. the helicopter work ok on the bench, and I have the basic telemetry from the frsky reciver.
I have tried to start the script first then power on the reciver/Spirit but this does not make any difference.. I can get no information back.?ImageImage

The connection looks right to me - wish there was a way to visually tell the difference between a s.bus and integration cable.
When I made my video for the Jumper (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huIw4u32iYM) I had the two on the table at the same time and the only way to figure it out was just to try them!

I assume by this time you repowered the entire system a few times but I wanted to note that if you switch the SYS port out from USB to integration cable it will not work without a power cycle - I think there is some initialization that needs to happen.

Hi,
do you get the telemetry values from the spirit? If yes than the communication and HW setup should be OK.

No info from the spirit, just info from the frsky reciver.

On the picture is seems as the brown cable from the integration cable which you have crimped by yourself is not well connected. Please measure if there is really a connection.
I expect you have searched for the telemetry values from your transmitter?

Thanks for your reply, the cable is slightly linked, from where I bent it back to insert it into the new plug.. all connection are good. O have even tried a XR8 reciver this morning, and still have no information coming out..

What receiver configuration you have chosen in OpenTX? Did you take the one with telemetry? Can you send a screenshot?
