S.Bus Question
I'm using a 14sg and 8ch RX. I have SBus to the controller and love it.
My goal is to add retracts. All 8 channel channels are currently taken up by the controller as is. Do I have to purchase an SBus cable and plug the current lead and retracts lead into it, or can leave it as is and program a currently used channel port differently? Thanks!

If you have retracts that use servos then get Sbus servos and plug into the Sbus port on the Rx.
If other type of retracts you will need to use an Sbus decoder to make more channels available. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...AdvancedSearch . |

Not sure what you mean... To be clear, the machine is a MR with Naza V2 and no servos other than the two servos for retracts. I am currently using the Sbus port to run the flight controller. I simply want to add the two servos in some way while using sbus to the Naza controller. My thought was that with an Sbus cable, I can plug the flight controller in and add the retracts to the Sbus cable. Is that right?

I know nothing about NAZA but you can keep adding Sbus servos until you use up all the channels. You only need the decoder to add non-Sbus servos or devices.

I gotcha! Despite whatever the SBus port is controlling (Naza or otherwise), it sounds like the solution is the following: Does this look right?
