Allan Bennett Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I already have a FrSky RPM sensor connected to my RX6R SPort, and now want to connect the SPort output to a flight controller as well. Can I simply Y-lead the two devices to the SPort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Gates Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Why not daisy chain the flight controller after the RPM sensor as it is designed to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bennett Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 I know that's the textbook way to do it, but the FC and the RPM sensors are in opposite directions from the receiver, so both connected to the SPort in parallel would be more sensible from the cable-management point of view. Trouble is I don't know if there's some electronics in the FrSky sensors' daisy-chain circuit without which things might blow up if I simply connect in parallel.

Dale Bradly Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 It wont blow anything up. Worst case is one or both wont work. Try and let us know the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Blandford Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 There is nothing on the sensors daisy chain, both 3-pin connectors are connected together. A Y-lead will work fine. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bennett Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 Thanks. I'll go with a Y-lead, and report back if there's any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
