Aura will auto-detect modern digital receiver connection(s). Using a 

modern digital  receiver connection gives the Aura access to 

precise data of each channel for additional gyro-enabled outputs, 

simplifies wiring, and allows for more advanced features. To 

connect a modern digital receiver connection, follow the steps on 

pages 10 or 11 (depending on your receiver type), then skip ahead 

to page 13.

For traditional PWM receivers without digital connection(s), male to 

male servo leads must be used for each channel. Please refer to 

the connection diagram on page 12.

Connecting Your Receiver to Aura

1. 

2.

3.

4.

5.

Connect one Spektrum Remote Receiver to Mini Port 'A' at the 

top of the Aura case. If using two, connect the second to Mini 

Port 'B'.

To bind a DSMX Spektrum Remote Receiver connection, insert 

a bind plug into Aura Port S8. 

Port 'B' is NOT for binding.

To bind a DSM2 Spektrum Remote Receiver connection, insert 

a bind plug into Aura port S1 AND S8.

Connect the flight battery to the ESC, and the remote receivers 

should begin to flash, indicating that they are ready to bind. 

Bind from here as recommended by your transmitter 

manufacturer.

Confirm the remote receiver(s) is(are) bound by verifying a solid 

LED on the receiver.

Aura will then automatically begin the Auto-Detect process, 

indicated by sweeping LEDs on the Aura. Once found, you will 

see a solid orange (power and calibrated sensor) and solid 

green (valid receiver data) LED on the Aura indicating the Aura 

is in its flight-ready state.

Mount your receivers using double sided foam tape, or hook 

and loop tape. Consult your receiver manual for proper 

mounting orientations and procedures.

Aura will auto-detect these modern digital receiver connections:

Spektrum Remote Receiver(s)

Futaba or Hitec S.Bus

Graupner HOTT (Sum D of 8)

Spektrum SRXL

JR XBus (Mode B)

Jeti UDI12 (standard)*

A PPM (8CH, negative shift, approximately 22ms/frame) receiver may also be 

connected  into Port 'B', however Aura will not auto-detect and setup must be 

performed through the Aura Config Tool (Windows Application).

Spektrum Remote Receivers

If you are unsure which type of DSM remote receiver you 

have, start by attempting the bind process with a bind plug 

in S8. If you continue to have trouble binding, then insert 

one bind plug in S1, and one bind plug in S8.

If you are using a traditional Spektrum receiver, with 

either a digital connection type or with PWM 

connections, DO NOT plug any remote receivers into the 

Aura 8. They should instead be plugged directly into 

your traditional receiver.

10

Note: It may be necessary to move the ESC lead to another open 

port (such as 'Port B') during the binding precedure. Be sure to 

return the ESC lead back to S1 after binding is complete.

Note: There are many JR-branded remote receivers that use 

Spektrum DSM2 and DSMX RF protocol. For these, follow 

the instructions for Spektrum remote receivers.
