If I understand correctly you don't know how to connect a PPM or PWM receiver to the revo.

This should make things more clear: https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Revolution+Configuration

Connect them to the Receiver port also known as FlexIO (not Flexi)
If using PPM just connect the signal pin to the 5th pin from the left or if using PWM connect 6 channels in order to pins 5 to 10.
Power is on pins 1(GND) and 2(+5V).

Also, I really had a hard time understanding what you wrote (try including some punctuation, give the text some structure and pictures really say a lot more than a compact bit of text)

 I have the same problem. Can't get the board to recognize the input.
 I'm using one FS-TH9X, i've tried PPM and PWM with the same result, no input at all, no bars moving on manual and no throtle movement on wizard.

 To start identify the problem i've cheked the receiver with one servo and all the chanels are working fine.
 Try it again... problem remains...
 Could it be some firmeware issues...
 So by now my hair is turning grey.
 Set up: Nigth hawk 200;multistar elite 2204 2300KV;Litlebee 20A OPTO;Mini PDB;RevoLUTION with OPlink.

 Any help is very much welcome

Hi Luis, welcome.

Which receiver do you use ?
Better start with PPM input, less wires.

Post a picture how you wired the receiver and your config file. File > Export UAV settings.

Are you sure this receiver can output a PPM signal ?

 No sir, i'm not sure. But if i plug in a servo it works as it should on every chanel, so as far as i can understand it should also work fine as pwm right?

Yes, only output PWM

Connect as PWM and set the Receiver to PWM in Hardware tab.
Disconnect board and remove all power
This is needed to apply all changes done in Hardware tab.

Connect again
Without any calibration you can monitor the receiver activity, go to the System tab and search for ReceiverActivity in UAVOBrowser:
Be sure the receiver is powered, this need external +5v



Moving a stick should display changes with Type: PWM and input number.

 It's alive.

 Working properly.

 Next step...  tune up.

 Maybe in order to first race ever in Braga-Portugal 23th/24th.
 Cheers.
