Pin Configuration

  • Fly Sky FS-CT6B 6ch 2.4GHz Transmitter & Receiver Pinout Explanation
  • The Fly Sky FS-CT6B 6ch 2.4GHz Transmitter & Receiver is a popular IoT component used in remote control applications, such as drones, RC cars, and robots. The device consists of a transmitter unit and a receiver unit, each with its own set of pins. Below is a detailed explanation of the pins on both units:
  • Transmitter Unit (TX):
  • 1. VCC (Voltage Input): This pin provides power to the transmitter unit. It should be connected to a voltage source between 3.5V to 12V. Typical operating voltage is 4.5V to 6V.
  • 2. GND (Ground): This pin is the ground connection for the transmitter unit and should be connected to the negative leg of the power source.
  • 3. TH (Throttle): This pin is used to control the throttle channel of the receiver. It should be connected to a potentiometer or a variable resistor to adjust the throttle signal.
  • 4. RU (Rudder): This pin is used to control the rudder channel of the receiver. It should be connected to a potentiometer or a variable resistor to adjust the rudder signal.
  • 5. EI (Elevator): This pin is used to control the elevator channel of the receiver. It should be connected to a potentiometer or a variable resistor to adjust the elevator signal.
  • 6. AL (Aileron): This pin is used to control the aileron channel of the receiver. It should be connected to a potentiometer or a variable resistor to adjust the aileron signal.

  • 10. TR (Training): This pin is used to enable the training mode of the transmitter. When connected to GND, the transmitter enters training mode, which allows the user to reset the transmitter and receiver bindings.
  • Receiver Unit (RX):
  • 1. VCC (Voltage Input): This pin provides power to the receiver unit. It should be connected to a voltage source between 3.5V to 12V. Typical operating voltage is 4.5V to 6V.
  • 2. GND (Ground): This pin is the ground connection for the receiver unit and should be connected to the negative leg of the power source.
  • 3. TH (Throttle): This pin outputs the throttle signal received from the transmitter. It should be connected to the throttle input of the connected device (e.g., ESC, servo).
  • 4. RU (Rudder): This pin outputs the rudder signal received from the transmitter. It should be connected to the rudder input of the connected device (e.g., servo).
  • 5. EI (Elevator): This pin outputs the elevator signal received from the transmitter. It should be connected to the elevator input of the connected device (e.g., servo).
  • 6. AL (Aileron): This pin outputs the aileron signal received from the transmitter. It should be connected to the aileron input of the connected device (e.g., servo).
  • 7. CH5 (Channel 5): This pin outputs the fifth channel signal received from the transmitter. It can be connected to a switch, LED, or any other device that requires a digital or analog signal.

  • Connection Structure:
  • To connect the pins properly, follow this structure:
  • 1. Connect the VCC pin of the transmitter unit to a voltage source (e.g., battery) and the GND pin to the negative leg of the power source.
  • 2. Connect the TH, RU, EI, AL, CH5, and CH6 pins of the transmitter unit to the corresponding potentiometers, variable resistors, or switches.
  • 3. Connect the ANT pin of the transmitter unit to a 2.4GHz antenna.
