Ah! Bugger! just reread the last couple of pages and realised I'm number 5 and there are only 4

Mine arrived today, will go and pick up a 6100 rx in the morning

[rceccleston]

While this module is limited to 6 channels only, are other modules supporting more channels in the pipeline??

[xygax]

The module will support an AR7000 (7 channel) with the extra chanel bits fitted...

Will 7 channels be supported in the second revision as the first revision looks to support only 6 channels??

[xygax]

The 6100 is a 6 chanel rx and its not been tested with any thing else yet... although it should work with an ar7000 and a 35Mhz 9 channel with the addition of the additional parts. However on a sim you only need 5 chanels so the others are not really required unless you have an undercarrage issue... !

The pcb will support up to a 9 chanel rx with the larger connector ect.

Steve

[rceccleston]

Was there any reason why all 9 channels were not supported by default if the pcb can support these??

[xygax]

Yes.

The connectors are 6 pin ! and in order to support more chanels the reconstruction of the final chanel needs to be taken from a different place. This means if you you fit connectors longer than 6 pins the battery connector is connected and due to the operation of the bind function on the AR6100 (the only tested rx at the moment) it would be permanently in bind..... so as it's flawless with a 6100 thats the recomended rx. I am aware the ar7000 has the same channel organisation but the last chanel is probably going to be different and needs to be checked before its qualified for use with one. It wont work at all with futaba.

Steve, do you know how far down the list I am? Really looking forward to this.

Is it me, I cant find any 6100e Rx for sale. Has it been replaced with the 6110e? Was going to order one in for when the wireless arrives.

Yes, the 6100e has been replaced with the 6110e. I am currently building a TRex 450Pro and wanted to go with the 6100 but when I called Horizon Hobby to order it, I was told that Spektrum is no longer making the 6100e. The 6110e is its replacement. Make sure and order the "e" version as it is the end-pin model.

[xygax]

Update....

DONT GET an AR6110e
YOU CANT PLUG IT IN THE PIN SPACEING IS WRONG !

The spektrum manual for the 6110 and 6110e actually has a 6100e on the brochure http://www.spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/F...0UserGuide.pdf
THIS DATA IS WRONG the pin spacing on the 'e' version is not the same as the adaptor.

I have done done the electrical testing with an AR6110e It would appear to work although the mechanics are a bit of a problem.

However the AR6110 should work i need to get hold of one and check the pin spacing is as the manual shows. Electrically the signals are correct its a mechanical issue and i am checking with Horizon as to the state of their documentation should know in a day or two...

Proven working RX list
AR6100
AR6100e
AR6110

Proven wont work
AR6110e
R617 None of the 2.4 Futaba Rx's will work as the output chanels overlap
R6014

Pending
AR7000 The output is in the same form as the 6100 but has an extra channel in due course

Aerofly professional I have a copy here will try it by the weekend… if it works then Reflex, FMS, and all the simple USB adaptor based sims should work

Spektrum Wireless trainer application. In theory this should plug in the back of the trainer DX6i / DSX9 and enable wireless comms from the trainee.

I will look at this in due course as getting the power from the tx is a bit of a headache.

Does the AR6100e work or not?? you've listed it as yes and no lol
