Wiring
For the wiring instructions refer to component specific documentation and Skynode S's Interfaces.
Motor mapping
The table below provides the default output mapping for Dragon SR, that can be used to prepare the cable to connect Skynode S with the 4in1 ESC
Some ESCs might have different motor numbering - please check!

Receiver wiring
The receiver can be connected to Skynode S in different ways, depending if telemetry and/or analog VTx is meant to be used.
Default: CRSF receiver without telemetry and analog VTx
The autopilot comes pre-configured for CRSF protocol based receivers connected to RC_In input on Skynode S EXTRAS 1 port. There is no additional configuration needed in that case.
CRSF receiver with telemetry and/or analog VTx is being used
In order to use CRSF telemetry connect the receiver to TELEM2 serial interface on EXTRAS 1. Refer to Radio Controller setup to configure the autopilot.
SBUS receiver
SBUS receiver can be connected to Radio Controller input of Skynode S interfaces. Additional software setup is required.
