Connections for Taranis X9D+

Note: newer the Taranis X9D+ 2019 doesn't work with SBUS. You have to use PPM or Bluetooth direct with an internal module.

Thanks to SilentZen and Ltom78 for this information

Wiring

  • X9D Pin 1 (Ground) -> Arduino Nano GND

  • X9D Pin 2 (VMAIN) -> Arduino Nano Vin

  • X9D Pin 3 -> Not Connected

  • X9D Pin 4 (SBUS_INPUT) -> Arduino Nano P1.03 (TX)

Head Tracker - GUI Setup

The X9D requires inverted SBUS. Setup the GUI like below. If using as a Bluetooth receiver set the Update rate to 80Hz which will match the Bluetooth rate.

Radio Setup

1 - Connect to radio and have Head Tracker configured and powered up

2 - Long press Menu, Page to Hardware, Set Serial port to SBUS Trainer

3 - Press menu, Press Page, Set Trainer Mode to Master/Serial

Reboot the radio after above changes.

4 - You should see the Trainer Icon in the Top Right of the Main screen if the data is being received properly
