Rx Digital Connection
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 this page.
Supported Modern Data-Linked Receivers
Connecting Your Receiver to Aura
Aura will auto-detect these modern digital receiver connections:
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).

Digital Receiver Connections
Note: If you are using Futaba S.Bus, be sure to use the proper
S.Bus port in your receiver. DO NOT use the S.Bus 2 port, as it
is not supported for use with the Aura 8. Refer to your
manufacturer's instructions for proper S.Bus use.
Note: When using Spektrum SRXL to connect to the Aura,
always connect the remote receivers to the Spektrum receiver,
NOT to the Aura.
While Spektrum usually outputs its digital data stream, it may
be necessary for Futaba, JR DMSS, Graupner HOTT, and Jeti
users to program the transmitter/receiver to output the correct
digital format listed on the previous page. Consult your
transmitter and receiver manuals for further details.
Bind your transmitter and receiver per your manufacturer's
instructions.
Connect the included male to male servo extension to the
receiver's data port (ex: S.Bus, SRXL etc.) and connect to servo
port 'B' on the face of the Aura. Refer to your radio
manufacturer's instructions for specific information on
appropriate serial port connections and system settings.
With the transmitter powered, power up the aircraft. Aura will
search (sweeping LEDs) and lock onto the signal. You will then
see solid orange (power and calibrated sensor) plus solid green
(valid radio source), and have control of the model.
Mount your receiver using double sided foam tape or hook and
loop tape. Consult your receiver manual for proper mounting.

Consult your receiver and/or transmitter instruction manual for
specific details on your radio system.
