Apologies not all of the binding process copied across

Binding a Model

Binding is done to link the radio model setting to a receiver. The receiver is only able to connect to a single radio model. In other words if the receiver has been bound to model 3 then it will only work on model 3. If the radio is set to model 2 then it will not work. To bind a model complete the steps listed below. Binding requires the model to be switched on before radio which is opposite to the way you usually operate your radio.
1. Turn on the radio and ensure it is set to the correct model. This is quite critical because if the radio is not set correctly you will “break” the previous bind for that model and that previous link will no longer work.
2. Turn off the radio

3. Ensure the receiver is correctly connected to the model power supply. This will vary if you are using speed controller with a BEC or a separate battery for the receiver.
4. Turn on the boat and the receiver should flash. This checks the boat system
5. Turn off the boat and insert the bind plug into the B/VCC socket
6. Turn on the boat and the receiver should be flashing rapidly at least more rapidly that it did originally.
7. Before turning on your radio ensure all switches are up and the throttle is down.
8. Hold down the bind button and keep it down, now turn on the radio and it will say binding. The receiver will now stop flashing rapidly which means binding process is almost complete.
9. To complete binding remove the bind plug.
10. Then turn off the radio
11. Finally turn off the boat
12. Binding is now complete. You can now operate the model using the procedure for Operating a Boat described above.

Our Association has a Guide for members on the Flysky I6 Radio here is the section on setting up a new model below, hope it is of some help. The chattering with the servos can be caused by interference if they are digital servos. You can usually resolve this by winding the lead through a ferrite core. I have seen this work before when the servos were chattering like in your posted video.

Setting up a New Model

When you have completed or acquired a new model and want to set your radio to operate it follow these steps.

1. Turn on your radio
2. Press the OK key you will see two icons System and Setup
3. As System is highlighted press OK again
4. You will see model select as the first option highlighted press OK again to select
5. You can now move through your models see selecting models above, simply choose the next available model you are not currently using.
6. Press and hold the cancel button this will save your selection.
7. Always check that the radio is set to this new model by clicking the OK button again.
8. Once you have confirmed you have selected the correct model then turn off the radio and go through the binding process as below.

Chinglish....

LOL🤣
Welcome to Chinese instructions!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Step 4 needs to say First remove the bind cable from the receiver followed by removing the power from the receiver.

Otherwise if you do it in the order mentioned in the step, it doesn't work!😀

When in doubt:

I've just wasted a lot of time trying to bind a new receiver to my Fkysky i6. The order of the instructions make it look like you remove the power from the receiver before removing the binding cable. NO this is incorrect - you must remove the binding cable BEFORE removing the power! You should then see once re powered up the receiver voltage under the in the display underneath the TX voltage.😊

It sounds to me like your radio is not binding. I have created a similar situation using my FrSky system. After many strange words came out of my mouth, I opted to start from scratch.
I created an all new model in my transmitter, without any settings for the channels or servos, and bound the receiver.
Once there, I added the servos I added an extra servo as a stand in for an ESC), and then made up my settings.
The only time this did not work was when my receiver was programmed to a difference protocol.

I don't think that your receiver battery pack is an issue, could be but doubt it. It could be the switch for the pack, in which case you can by pass it and connect the pack directly to the receiver.

Do separate the transmitter and receiver by a couple of meters when you bind them. X-mitters can easily over power the receiver which will then, not bind.
Hope this helps.😊😊😊😊

Hi Ross. Thanks for your input. All the extra recievers are identical to the one that came in the box, I made sure the numbers were the same before ordering....

Roger, thanks for the tip I will try later. Hiding from the Missus at the mo, keeping a low profile, out of sight out of mind as it were..

Hi Roy. I will be posting pictures of all 3 once I have them all nice and tiddley and adding them to my harbour.

In some instances if you bind to the receiver with the transmitter too close to the receiver it can not bind at all or not correctly
Try rebinding with a couple of meters apart

May we see pictures of the 3 steam launches please?

Interesting though binding is I am a crystal man for models, but bluetooth for computers and earphones.

Which models of transmitter and receiver are you using? Some combinations have different binding protocol in FLYSKY

Good morning Doug. I can't even work out how to add models to the "library"!

Hi Doug

Thanks for your congratulations.
I get up at 4.30 in the morning.
Then it can happen that I look at my mobile phone.😴😁

Wolle,
What the heck are you doing on the site at 5am?
Don't you have a new Chairwoman of the Board to attend to???
Congrats on the recent nuptials👍 Now go do your duty😉🤗
Cheers, Doug😎

Hi Nick,
Re:"I need to work out how to bind different receivers in the model list... "
That should not be necessary. The individual model parameters and which control (stick or switch) does what and on which channel (port on the RX) that you have programmed are stored in the TX.
If the RX binds to the TX then the model characteristics you programmed into the TX will be available. Assuming that the 'different' RX has at least the same number of channels as the TX.
Model selection is made at the TX. The RX simply does what it is told to do according to the parameters that you have programmed for each model.
You also need to make sure that the 'different' RX responds to the same frequency hopping algorithm that the TX uses! Usually printed on the front of the TX & RX and varies between manufacturers. But if it doesn't then it won't bind with the TX anyway.😉
Cheers, Doug😎

Hi Stephen, yes they have both been used with this tx. I need to work out how to bind different receivers in the model list...

Hi Nick,
Have you successfully used the Tx and Rx's before or are they new to each other?

Cheers,
Stephen.

Bon chance mon Ami👍
Keeps us advised on progress please😉
Cheers, Doug😎
BTW,
As I said before-
"Activating the servos puts more load on the RX battery(500 to 1000mA per servo depending on the type) thus driving the RX voltage down even lower."
Effect of this could be seen in the sudden change in the battery indicator when the servos began to jitter. The two black segments shown at the start instantly disappeared.
Indicating a weak or defective battery which collapses when put on load.

Hi Doug.I was using an old style 4 × 1.5 V battery pack. I will cycle some proper packs now and try again.

Nick,
Your batteries are nearly flat, the RX in particular. Probably below the rated operating voltage range.
Activating the servos puts more load on the RX battery(500 to 1000mA per servo depending on the type) thus driving the RX voltage down even lower.
Put the batteries on 3 cycles of 'discharge -charge' to freshen them up and try again.
What type of servo and battery/ies are you using?
Cheers, Doug😎

Works perfectly with my Spektrum radio...

Hi Wolle. Switching on in correct order, just tried another rx and getting the same result...

A common mistake is to switch on the transmitter and receiver in the wrong order. The transmitter must be switched on first, then the receiver.
But I think you know that too. Otherwise, I don't know what to do at the moment.
