Thanks again for the help.
I do use PWM signals from the receiver to the FC.
I checked all the pins on the FCB receptacle for the receiver connection. They're all OK.
After a few more hours of additional testing/configuration with the FCB and receiver out of the airframe on my workbench, connected to a spare ESC, 3 servos, and motor to facilitate experimenting, I finally figured out why my transmitter/receiver wasn't communicating with the FCB. It was a combination of several factors:
1. Spektrum transmitters/Orange receivers use Channel 1 for throttle. The FCB uses Channel 1 for input, but Channel 4 for output.
2. I've been flying the Telemaster for several years without any additional add-ons, although I did have a Spektrum AS3X receiver installed for a while and programmed 3 levels of stabilization into 3 flight modes from one of the 3 position switches, which I neglected to disable before I added the Open Pilot to the system.
3. I had throttle cut programmed into another 2 position switch to avoid inadvertent motor activation.
To make a long story short, the old transmitter settings were disabling some transmitter output, which, combined with the channel discrepancy, drove me crazy trying to sort out why the FCB wasn't sensing any receiver activity. I did A LOT of swapping connectors between the receiver and FC before I simply flipped the
throttle cut switch, after which the wizard worked, as verified by Receiver Activity on the appropriate 4 channels on the Input configuration screen.
While I had the setup on my workbench, I checked servo activity with the Output screen, and all the servos and ESC could be controlled by the sliders.
The transmitter still wouldn't operate the servos or motor, but I installed the components back into the airframe anyway, figuring I can debug them in situ as well as on a bench.
Unfortunately, the Output sliders quit working the servos/ESC after reinstalling in the airplane, and the transmitter still has no effect, although the flap servos (which are driven directly from Channels 6 and 7 on the receiver assigned to a slider on the transmitter) still work as before.
Interestingly, when I wiggle the FCB in roll, pitch, and yaw, the servos to the respective control surfaces do move, although I haven't verified that they do in the correct direction to counteract the changes in orientation of the FCB yet.
Incidentally, the Op Link works as it should, and the GPS module can find 15-19 satellites.
Thanks again for your help and advice. If you have any other ideas about getting my transmitter to talk to the onboard equipment, let me know.
