RC/Radio showing as 1 channel - Futaba T10J / S.BUS

I’m setting up my vehicle using Navio2.
I connected my Radio Futaba T10J + R3008SB to proper slot rail.
On calibration tab of GCS the Radio is shown as 1 channel only.

My setup is:

SBC: RPI3B+
FC: Navio2
RC: Tx: Futaba T10J / Rx: R3008SB RX
GCS: QGroundControl v4.0.6
SO: emlid-raspbian-20191128.img
kernel 4.19.83-emlid-v7l+
ArduPlane 4.0

Result of some checks:

root@navio:~# cat /sys/kernel/rcio/status/alive
1

root@navio:~# sudo cat /sys/kernel/rcio/rcin/ch2
1924

root@navio:~# sudo cat /sys/kernel/rcio/rcin/ch2
1154

root@navio:~# sudo cat /sys/kernel/rcio/rcin/ch2
1104

Only channel 2 changes values.

When I connect servos directly to the receiver’s channels, they react on commands from the RC transmitter!

Can anyone help me?

FYI…
I already search this and others foruns and tried all sort of recommendations about Radio Calibration, with no success.

Did you set your RX in sBus mode?


I checked with a T6K (8 channels) with R3006SB RX. Calibration screen is OK with Mission planner or QgroundControl.

Yes, already checked. R3008SB is in mode B (default) S.BUS.

Verify that cable is on the sBus out plug of the RX (Channel 8), not channel 7 or sBus2 out.

Checked!

I reversed my RX to normal (not sBus) and there is no RC signal available… Incidentally, sbus2 output compatible sBus signal to the Navio2… even in no sBus mode…

I will try with my Mac and latest QGC tomorrow (W10 version is OK at home).

sBus fine on the QGroundControl Mac version (4.0.7).

Double check sBus mode setting on the RX. You can also have a test with sBus2 out.

I’ll do the test with S.Bus 2 when I arrive home (some hours)… in Brazil now is 2:41am

Tried S.BUS2 out, unsuccessfully.
Tried to change mode (S.BUS as port 8) from B to A (disabling S.BUS) and change back to mode B (enabling S.BUS), also unsuccessfully :frowning:

I finally could calibrate the Radio!
Let me tell you guys what are happening…

I’m using UAV Cast software, for remote controlling UAV by LTE network… is a software that easy that task.
When I try to calibrate my Radio after UAV Cast installed, I can`t (the original issue from this post)…
So, I tried to reinstall the Emlid Raspbian image (emlid-raspbian-20191128.img) and setup manually all the system. So, the Radio is recognized successfully.

I think the problem is caused by any UAV Cast setup over ardupilot from Navio.
I gonna try to deal with UAV Cast support.
Thanks for all.
