# Legacy DSM/DSMX Support

{% hint style="info" %}
Skynode is designed to be used with S.BUS receivers. Usage of a Spektrum DSMX receiver is discouraged but possible.
{% endhint %}

It is possible to use a Spektrum DSMX satellite receiver like the [SPM9745](https://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM9745) and a transmitter like the [NX6](https://spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPMR6775) with the Skynode with three limitations:

1. The cable is not included in the [Skynode Evaluation Kit](/hardware-integration/skynode/evaluation-kit.md#components-included-in-the-skynode-development-kit). It can be assembled from JST-GH and Spektrum cables that ship with the Spektrum devices.
2. The receiver cannot be bound using Skynode. It has to be bound to the transmitter before use, which is the factory default when a set is bought.
3. It needs a 3.3V power supply which is not on the remote control port of the Skynode, but available from e.g. the GPS port.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.auterion.com/hardware-integration/skynode/legacy-dsm-dsmx-support.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
