How to bind DJI RC Controller to Betaflight

---

00:00:00 - You don't NEED a separate RC controller
00:00:40 - What equipment do you need?
00:02:31 - You cannot mix and match between generations!
00:03:05 - Bind the RC controller
00:05:11 - Calibrate the controller (optional)
00:05:40 - Enable Fast SBUS option
00:06:45 - Back up your Betaflight config
00:07:25 - Does your BF install support SBUS?
00:09:50 - Enable Fast SBUS in BF
00:10:19 - Verify O3 wiring

00:13:07 - Have I earned your support yet?
00:14:22 - Check the channel mapping
00:16:00 - Set up aux modes
00:20:48 - Spring centered throttle?
00:22:07 - Test flight

ffs. thank you again mr bardwell. not putting out full builds with s-bus is really annoying. i would never have got there on my own.
your a beautiful man. please dont stop doing what your doing

Bro, i just enter youtube wanting to know that and you just upload this, the timing is perfect... ¡THANK YOU BARDWELL, YOU ARE THE BEST!

It's my opinion that you should disable the centering spring on the throttle if you plan to fly in manual/acro mode at all. It's easy to just center the stick when flying DJI quads in Normal mode but the consequences of that stick jumping to center because you forgot or it slips on a betaflight quad would be a disaster. My suggestion if you plan to fly both modes is to have some tension on the throttle stick so it stays in place nicely when centered but definitely disable the spring.

Thanks for all you do.
I would of never figured this out on my own.

I have been using the DJI Remote controller 2 for years now with the 03 Air Unit and only use it in the Sbus mode not the Fast Sbus and have had no issues with signal loss or control speed. If you read about the link quality and speed, there is really no difference based on the data from DJI. My recommendation is to just leave it on SBus in fact they point out that Fast Sbus is more sensitive to noise.

I'm yet to even own enough money to buy any fpv gear, but I still enjoy you content and have been watching for the past few months.
Thank you bardwell!
Because I'm gonna learn something today! 😎🤘

Beside the issue with the small gimbals the RC3 seems pretty solid. Love the convenience. Finally a video on this system! Try the super expensive controller next for range of you have it?

As a prospective new comer to this hobby (currently waiting on delivery for the DJI remote 3 to step up Sim Training from your average gaming controler), this was great to know.

Planning to start my Journey with the DJI Avata 2 bc of the EU Certifications so I can skip Part of that headache for now. But good to know that as long as I use a (compatible) DJI camera unit I won't need new Goggles or controler once I feel comfortable to use customized drones.

the SBUS save my day ! Gracias to you sir 🖤

[sullyroams]

ha! I think I asked this exact question a few weeks ago on one of your videos and in the time since then and wanting to graduate from avata 2 training wheels and dive deeper into FPV, I picked up a boxer + nazgul evoque f5d. still waiting on some components to arrive but very excited for things to come.

[AlpineDansch]

And again, thank you so much for the help!
Without you I would never been able to get in / survive in FPV ❤️

[FREEDOMFPV]

Always helping everybody good stuff man even know I will never use the dji controller I still watch all your videos cause ypu get something out of each one thanks JB 👍👍👍👍

Most hard part was the controller confi on Ports in betaflight, spend good 4 hours trying to fking least move the drone in the receiver tab got it at last move, idk if yall have the same set up but for me it was F4 2-3S 20A AIO FC V1, 03 Unit, FPV goggle v2, controller 3 FPV, with that it for me the Ports were used were UART 5 confi on and erial Rx on and Peripherals VTX (MSP...)and those are the only ones checked. other than that great video really helpful with the rest

[aaroncadena]

i tripped out when i recognized this map lol thats great.

[mrhzmansfield]

Thanks, i have the brand New GEP F745 bt Stack. And i Had to go to the impulse driver fixer first just to get my stack into dfu mode so i could flash the new firmware . Then i was able to follow instructions. Thank you

[HGHTWER]

Thanks Josh, helped me with yet another setup !

[tcheid]

Welp, my friend, you earned that patreon sub! I’ve never even used patreon but you’re worth it!

[BIGJON]

Such a great much needed video, it helped me a ton! Thank you

[juanfravg]

Avata is in. RC3 is coming soon. Custom diy fpv 5" will start to be built tomorrow.

O bought the avata just to start fpv, loke training wheels per se. I was hoping my upcoming o3 air unit would work with this. Ao far i was bummed but here comes JB to save the day abd restore my hopes!

[Alpakaa]

thanks so much! Ich had the problem with the colours on the receiver screen on Betaflight. After reflashing with sbus it works pretty well. ;)
