I assume that LP inverts the sbus signal as it comes into the fc like other firmwares... my question is there a way to turn off the sbus inverter such as in betaflight for use of receivers that output uninverted sbus signal?

maybe is the systems tab somewhere? I couldn't find it but might not be implemented into the code I guess.

Thanks : )

The inverter is programmable (on/off) because it must be off for other protocols.

There isn't an option to do this in the setup.  It is a fairly simple code change.

You have a receiver that puts out inverted (non-inverted from uart standpoint) SBus?

I figured it would have to be a slight code change as i hadn't heard of this before betaflight... I wouldn't know where to begin there really haha my programmong skills are very limited.

the rx is the FuriouFPV LR1000. outputs non-inverted sbus. rx binds well to my tx and provides telemetry, but I don't get any rc activity in the input tab. I got the rssi activity to show up in the gcs at some point on some other protocol (i tried them all for kicks, i think it was dsm)

If you are building your own firmware...

For example for Revo: in flight/targets/boards/revolution/firmware/pios_board.c

It might be (I have not verified it) as simple as changing this around line 865:
    if (hwsettings_mainport != HWSETTINGS_RM_MAINPORT_SBUS) {
        GPIO_Init(pios_sbus_cfg.inv.gpio, &pios_sbus_cfg.inv.init);
        GPIO_WriteBit(pios_sbus_cfg.inv.gpio, pios_sbus_cfg.inv.init.GPIO_Pin, pios_sbus_cfg.gpio_inv_disable);
    }

to this:
//    if (hwsettings_mainport != HWSETTINGS_RM_MAINPORT_SBUS) {
        GPIO_Init(pios_sbus_cfg.inv.gpio, &pios_sbus_cfg.inv.init);
        GPIO_WriteBit(pios_sbus_cfg.inv.gpio, pios_sbus_cfg.inv.init.GPIO_Pin, pios_sbus_cfg.gpio_inv_disable);
//    }

to make a version of firmware that turns off the Sbus inverter.

thank you, found it in the firmware and will look into learning how to modify/compile a custom firmware to try it out.

just following the CONTRIBUTING.md right now... is that the right place to start haha?  first custom firmware build here.

[TheOtherCliff]

The wiki has instructions on how to set up and build everything.

[kicekilla]

Perfect, I will give it a shot. Thank you for the help!

Would the code modification you posted earlier be the same for cc/cc3d? Might try on one of my many there as to not muck with my revo.

I can find the appropriate code, just not sure if it has a different coding than the revo.

This seems to be becoming more popular.  I also have a receiver that (supposedly) outputs non-inverted sbus, although I looked at it on a scope and it sure looks inverted to me.  I haven't tried hooking it up to an FC yet, but plan to tonight.  I also have a configurable inverter on it, so I can try inverted or not.

In any case, we probably should add an option for non-inverted sbus to the standard firmware/GUI.

Just need this pull request merged:

I don't know why manufactures would start switching it up... but I was just intrigued by the LR1000's long range, small size, and dualway telemetry. Just can't get it to work.

What rx do you have?

It's a similar Rx from Banggood (probably a clone of some sort).

Let me know if you get it hooked up and working with no firmware change.

I also tried an sbus > ppm converter on mine to no avail.

My receive is working perfectly with no inversion on the Revo main port configure as S.bus.  The only problem I had was with the input configuration wizard.  RSSI is output on channel 9, and that was confusing the wizard, but I was able to configure the channels perfectly using the manual process, which I prefer anyways.

I don't know why they say that the s.bus on mine is not inverted because it clearly is.

[kicekilla]

Interesting. yeah when I setup another rx with rssi telemetry on a channel like that I also have to use manual setup or the wizard thinks its a different channel.

i picked up my first FC that is not a CC/CC3d/Revo to test mine on betaflight bc maybe my rx is just shot.. Ill test it on that in a few days when it gets here
