I need help setting up my cetus pro with a different transmitter

[hybrid cape]

I got the transmitter to bind but idk how to configure it

[bronze tinsel]

im not this skilled but @stoic lichen is

[vague scarab]

I think if Emilia tries to help this guy again she’s gonna explode

[bronze tinsel]

oh I thought he was new?

[bronze tinsel]

o this is the guy who thinks trump and kamala are both slaves owned by the bank

[vague scarab]

Maybe?

This guy didn’t send a photo after so long of asking

Just kept ignoring the people actually trying to help

Made it super hard

[bronze tinsel]

yea

he just needs to sell the freaking rtf kit

and get real parts

[hybrid cape]

it was a joke lmao

[hybrid cape]

bro i wasnt ignoring

i didnt have my phone

[vague scarab]

[hybrid cape]

i got it to bind either way

and what u guys were telling me to do was prove that its frsky dx 8 or something

and telling me to connect it to betaflight config

when it only works with betafpv config

and then also just telling me to sell it

[hybrid cape]

Ok so i contacted betafpv

n they said its not compatible with other transmitters

holy shit bro

thats dumb as fuck

why would they even advertise it as frsky then

if its just proprietary bs

like the other transmitter connects but i cant even use it cause theres no way to configure it

[bronze tinsel]

that right there proves that all rtf kits are pieces of shit

[dire skiff]

so, FrSky is really confusing and proprietary, but I don't think they have their own proprietary protocol

I'm hoping someone else with experience will come in here and answer your questions, but I could probably kinda figure it out maybe?

first thing is I want to know the exact model of the flight controller in the drone, and figure out exactly what protocol it must be using

and to do that I'd look for either a very specific model number on the FC itself, or plug the drone into betafpv and if there's a terminal interface, throw some commands at it to get it to spit out all its info

if betafpv doesn't have a terminal, then I vaguely remember that you might be able to connect it to betaflight and it'll be able to give you a terminal only?

[hybrid cape]

Yea its not a proprietary protocol

I was able to bind to it

But wasnt able to configure it at all

[hybrid cape]

Its using dx8

U can see in the picture

[hybrid cape]

Wont connect to betaflight

I actually contacted betafpv themselves

And they said its not compatible

They could be wrong idk

But theres no way i could find to configure it

[dire skiff]

evidently they may have been wrong in the first place lol

[hybrid cape]

Yes

Could be

[dire skiff]

when you move the transmitter's sticks, do you see movement in the channels in the configurator?

[hybrid cape]

Because it was able to bind

[hybrid cape]

Its all in the pics and videos i posted

[dire skiff]

oh sorry I missed those

looking through them now... there isn't a hint of possibility to change the switches lol

this isn't normally the way to do it, but I think you might be able to just set up the switches in the radio

that's kinda how it is with radiomaster things

basically, see if you can get any of those AUX channels to move

the drone might use, say, AUX3 for arming, but if your transmitter doesn't have a switch assigned to aux3, then you won't be able to arm

and with my wild guess... I would assign every single switch to an aux and start flipping switches. see if you can identify a pattern

if you end up with a channel/aux/switch combo that results in arming, then voilla

and you can then reassign that switch/aux, through the transmitter, to whichever switch you want to use for arming

(this is mostly guesswork but hopefully you can get that to work out)

[hybrid cape]

Yeag

I also need to switch the throttle n stuff

Cause its flipped around

Throttle and yaw is on the right stick

While the rest is on the left

Need to switch it around

[dire skiff]

oof you might be able to reassign those in the radio

this might help

this, from the video, is generally what you want to do

adjust inputs/mixer things so that the gimbals and switches available are mapped to the receiver in the right way

like i said though, not 100% sure this will work with the cetus

[hybrid cape]

Yeah

[dire skiff]

so you might have better luck just assigning every switch to at least one aux and see if you can get the arming switch to be activatd

then reverse engineer from there, and figure out which aux, and which channel, and which switch you need to set up

[hybrid cape]

Yeah

Ill try it this weekend
