-The TCB is compatible with several types of hobby receivers - those that can output PPM (sometimes called CPPM or PPM-sum) and those that can output digital serial data. Of the latter type SBus and iBus are presently supported, but additional protocols can be easily be added to the firmware. You can find a PPM or serial receiver for literally every brand of radio available today, see our [[wiki:tcb:tcbinstall:rx:radioguide|Radio Selection Guide]] for recommendations. +The TCB is compatible with several types of hobby receivers - those that can output PPM (sometimes called CPPM or PPM-sum) and those that can output digital serial data.

If you don't yet have a transmitter, we also have several [[wiki:tcb:tcbinstall:rx:radioguide|Radio Recommendations]].
  
 **PPM** receivers are available for virtually every major brand of RC radio on the market today. The PPM protocol allows up to 8 channels of data on a single data line. Some PPM receivers may actually be called something like a "4 channel receiver" but what this means is that the receiver can only drive 4 servos directly, however all 8 channels should still be present on the PPM port, assuming the transmitter also has 8 channels.  **PPM** receivers are available for virtually every major brand of RC radio on the market today.

 **SBus** is a serial protocol used by several manufacturers such as Futaba, FrSky, and RadioLink among others. It allows up to 16 channels on a single data line. **SBus** is a serial protocol used by several manufacturers such as Futaba, FrSky, and RadioLink among others.

-**iBus** is a serial protocol used by several FlySky and Turnigy radio systems. The protocol itself is designed to carry 14 channels, but as of mid 2016 neither FlySky nor Turnigy actually have a transmitter capable of sending more than 10 channels. +**iBus** is a serial protocol used by several FlySky and Turnigy radio systems.

 The RADIO port on the TCB has two positions - one on the top of the board, and one on the bottom. If your receiver is PPM or iBus, plug it into the top slot. If SBus, use the bottom slot. In addition to the data pin, the RADIO port also provides +5v and Ground to power your receiver. A short male-to-male servo cable works well for the connection. The TCB will auto-detect the correct protocol on startup.  The RADIO port on the TCB has two positions - one on the top of the board, and one on the bottom.
