I have the TCB working as it should in. Sbus mode.  When I try to set up Ibus. The OP absolutely refuses to "see"  the radio.i have tried the  fs a8s with the fs i6x transmitter SEVERAL TIMES & NOTHING.  THE FS A8S with the flysky fs i6s radio and nothing.  AN FS IA10B receiver with both radios and still nothing.  The ia10b and i6s combo works fine in Sbus mode.  I really wanted to use the a8s receiver due to its compact size, but can live with everything functioning as it should in Sbus mode.   Anyone else find this peculiar?

Hi Ksnfme,

Yes, I do find that peculiar. ;D I have used the FS-A8S many times and it should work just fine.

First of alll, and I'm sure this isn't your problemm, but I have to mention it, that of course you need to make sure the iBus receiver is plugged into the correct set of pins on the TCB (ie, those pins on the top of the board, and not on the bottom).

Secondly, the only other time I've heard someone have a problem with the FS-A8S was in this thread, and I'm linking to the post that had his solution.

In short, the receiver may be in SBus mode, and it's not entirely clear how to switch it back to iBus. I encourage you to read the post, but in short, in addition to having iBus selected on your transmitter, you can then toggle the protocol on the receiver side by pressing and holding the bind button the receiver for 2 seconds after it is powered up and already bound to the transmitter. Give that a try and see if it works for you, maybe the receiver is still in SBus mode and that will swap it back to iBus.
