proper wiring/setup for Neuron II 60 to a Archer Plus GR8 RX with X18 TX

[Brazenbullz]

Hello everyone!

I'm having a lot of trouble getting ESC telemetry and the configuration scrips to populate at the same time. I can sometimes get one or the other but not both at the same time.
All items are loaded with latest firmware/bootloader. ESC was configured using the STK USB via web configurator. The RX was updated via OTA. The TX was updated via ETHOS Suite.
1) Using FBUS protocol, occasionally, The telemetry and the ESC configuration (via the LUA scrips) will work at the same time but for only about 15 seconds and then the radio says "sensor conflict" and both the telemetry and the configuration stops populating.
2) The Lua scrips I loaded into the Transmitter were from the download page on the FRSKY website. They were the latest files under the Neuron II 60 download tab.
3) Searching for sensors added the telemetry from the ESC but it only stays active for 15 or so seconds and then I get "telemetry lost".

Obviously I have something wrong. I am unsure of how to do the exact wiring on the Archer plus GR8 as the instruction sheet for the ESC doesn't show the same pinouts. Would you be able to tell me where on the receiver to put each color wire from the ESC? And then what protocol to set the transmitter to?

To receive the configuration options and telemetry:
1) ESC Yellow wire, Where does the Yellow wire connect on the GR8 RX?
2) ESC Black wire, Where does the Black wire go on the GR8 RX?
3) ESC Blue wire, Where does the Blue wire connect on the GR8 RX?
4) what protocol do I set the radio to? FBUS, S.port, or F.port?

Your help is appreciated!

Keep it simple and follow the the PWM and S-Port diagram in the manual.
1. Yellow is the S-Port wire.
2. Black wire to RX ground.
3. Red to RX +5v
4. Blue to the PWM from channel 3 output. (if your receiver order is AETR)

Hi Henny,

Thank you! I believe I have figured it out. Below is the only configuration that I could get to work on the Archer Plus GR8 RX:
1) The TX has to be in FBUS mode for the RX.
2) The Yellow ESC wire ties to the white FBUS wire on the small 4 Pin smart port on the top of the Receiver.
3) The Black ESC wire ties to the Black wire on the small 4 Pin smart port on the top of the Receiver.
4) The Blue wire is unused.

This wiring scheme isn't in any manuals but is the only configuration that allows the Telemetry to work while at the same time allowing the Configuration LUA scripts to work as well. In the configurator for the ESC set the throttle channel to channel 3. Motor runs as predicted.

I've let this wiring and configuration setup run for 12 full battery cycles and telemetry was never lost and the configuration scripts worked every time. The one thing to remember is that you must power cycle the RX and ESC when switching between the transmitter ESC config file and normal operation.

Respectfully,
