Controller Binding procedure
Although every FARMEYES is shipped with a bound controller it may become necessary to rebind the controller if
replaced. If the Radio receiver indicator light is solidly alit when both controller and Hexacopter powered on there is no
reason to preform this procedure.
The Radio receiver module on the Hexacopter has a small cable with a bind button at the end.
1.
Press and hold the Radio receiver bind button while connecting the 4S Flight battery allowing
the receiver to be powered. As the receiver is powered with this bind button pressed the
Red/orange light will blink very fast

to indicate in binding mode meaning you
can release the button.
2.
On the remote controller (powered off) press and hold the binding button then power on. The
speaker will make a high pitched squawk to indicate that it is now sending a binding type signal.
3.
Monitor the indicator light on the Radio receiver. After holding the Bind button on the
Controller for 2-3 seconds release it while watching the receiver indicator light. The frequency
of the blinking should slow then become alit solid

to indicate successfully binding.
Note: this binding procedure only works with genuine FARMEYES Remote controls. Where a
different controller is used a matching Radio receiver would also have to be provided.
LED Status indicator
On the Hexacopter part of the FARMEYES system there is an
indicator light connected to the Flight controller called the APM
indicator light that allows the operator to recognise the status of the
Hexacopter. After the connection of the 4S Flight Battery to the
Hexacopter a number of processes and checks occurs and can be
seen with the light patterns.
