Is FrSky S.Port to UART compatible with Navio+?

[deltasight]

Hello,

I found a product called “FrSky Smart Port to UART converter” and I’m wondering if it is compatible with Navio UART input. The aim would be to read telemetry information from Taranis+ OpenTx.

Link :

FrSky S.Port to UART converter with 2 ADC ports (SP2UART)

This product is initially designed to be used with two units : A (connected to receiver) and B (connected to emitter).

I feel like it is not compatible, otherwise it may appear here : http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-frsky-telemetry/#apm_mavlink_to_frsky_smartport_converter_mavlink_frskysport

Thank you

MavLink to FrSky SmartPort Converter

Hey At Airborne Projects we have developed a APM MavLink to FrSky SmartPort Converter based on the Arduino Nano, designed and tested with the Navio in mind, allowing for connection through the USB port of the Raspberry PI. We initially designed it for ourselves because the alternative, as also mentioned on this forum Telemetry to FrSky receiver was a Teensy, which not only is not open source friendly but is also very expensive. Our project features full compatibility with typical RC voltages(…

Yes absolutely, I actually purchased the whole Airborne catalog

On the dedicated post, CodeChief mentions the ability to connect either with UART or USB, but I did not see UART was possible. I prefer light UART wires instead of USB, anyway it should work.

Thank you

Their is also a slightly cheaper way, but it requires some soldering

the already mentioned ‘ready to use’ cable is also mentioned on this page

Thank you for your reply, I now realize I was looking at the wrong device.
When I saw this other way, I was not sure it was compatible with Navio+.
