I put the third pin the ppm signal from openlrs receiver and configured the controller receiving ppm signal.

In your config file still the receiver port configured as PWM input, should be set to PPM, look in Hardware tab.
Remember all changes inside Hardware tab need a reboot.

Did you setup your OpenLRS receiver for PPM output ?
Remember also the PPM input is 12 channels max for Revo.

You can easilly monitor the receiver activity, go to System tab and search for ReceiverActivity Uavo.
More easy for debugging.

Total success!!!

The board is working, and sense the receiver's signal.

A BIG-BIG thanks for help and patience.

The oplink air port on a revo mini, is this just a serial port connecting the revo mini to the oplink mini air?  In other words if you have a revo mini and don't use the oplink port can it be used for other items (OSD, GPS, etc )

Cannot be used for OSD or other accessories. Just his "Oplink Air"

It's for their oplink air.  They took the RFM22b radio module off the bottom of the revo, ran the wires that went to it to a connector, and put the RFM22b in a separate case.  Unless you're writing your own firmware for the controller it can't be used for anything else.  It should have power, ground, and 5 of the processor's pins related to SPI.  Most of them are shared with the flash memory chip.

Hi, any idea why Sonar port is disabled in HW Settings tab, and how can I enable it? I need it for voltage divider.

yes, disabled in HW tab.

For sensor setup, take a look here:

Thanks a lot! I see how to activate now:

1 - Connect the board to your computer and got to the System tab in your GCS
2 - Browse the first part (Settings) and find the HwSettings UAVObject
3 - Enable the Battery module  : OptionalModules > Battery > Enable
4 - Set the analog input pins for voltage and current :
ADCRouting > adc0 > BatteryCurrent
ADCRouting > adc1 > BatteryVoltage

Exactly, like explained in wiki page. Congrats :)

Be sure you do not over voltage the inputs, Revo Mini do not have ESD protections.

Hi everyone.
I need little help.
I am trying to use a FM800 MINI FASST RX. It is S-BUS&CPPM only with the Revo mini.
Can the revo still work with CPPM? That is what I set it to.
I tried to run the quad after using the libre pilot but one motor wont run and the others  stutter.
I all so could not get my switch to activate in libre pilot and just skipped it.
I have it 5v reg.
The RX is blinking fast, so that's suppose to be CPPM mode. I am just now wondering if it saved it? Could revo mini still kind of wrok in S-BUS mode? 
I know this may sound all bad, but I wont give up. Thanks

Green led flashing fast mean Sbus i think.
Seems this need to push again the button to go back to solid Red for save and power cycle the receiver.
All boards support PPM and S.Bus input (MainPort) at least.

Another issue maybe...

This means all previous stick while following the radio wizard works ?
If yes, you may need to declare your switch for one chanel output in your radio.

Please note CC3D and Revo are two different boards, "Revolution" is just a Chinese marketing name.

Got it

I just found out S-B is digital and CPPM is analog, I will switch to S-B;

Got it. I have the Revo mini black case. My friend has the CC3D yellow case.

So I think as you said, I have it in S-B mode.
So I need to back and recognize it in librepilot as S-B instead of CPPM/PPM. As it is, it is seeing it as CPPM/PPM.
