As shown I am taking this in stages per the manual. I have my battery power to the esc and the esc cabled to the throttle connection on the AR8000 and the bind plug installed in bind/data socket. When I connect the battery I get the beeps from the rx but no flashing LED to indicate bind mode.
I am using the cables that came with my NAZA that formerly attached to the AR6200 I am attempting to replace. These are 3 wire/pin with female connectors on each and the wires are brown/orange/red. When they were connected to the AR6200 the brown wire was on top at both the NAZA and AR6200 end. From what I can tell from many threads on the internet is these are Futaba servo cables with fin ground off on one side of the connectors on both end. This modification allows you to plug them with either the brown wire on top or the gold wire on top. Also found a thread mentioning the ability to use servo cables with uni-jr plugs but can't find a source for them. Do they make a cable for connecting a Naza to AR receiver without grinding and if so what is it called and where can I get it?
Has anyone done this before to check the receivers ability to bind before assembly or am I chasing my tail here? Anywhere I found this setup documented the output leads just disappeared off the photo so I assumed they were connected to a motor. If I remember correctly my AR6200 did have a flashing led after power up and before attempting the bind from the TX. In my current setup the brown wire is on top at the AR800.
Update: I received an answer to the major part of my problem. The reason the Bind LED is not blinking is because there is no power to it because my ESC does not have a BEC to provide power to it. In my set the power to the receiver comes from the MC that gets it from the VU. It is the motor that is creating the beeps and when I unplug it the beeps are gone. Still the mystery about the cables between the AR8000 and the Naza MC. On the MC wiring diagram it shows the top pin as being signal with plus on the center and minus on the bottom for the cables from RX. Every photo I find on line shows the brown on top but would like to find it documented somewhere or better yet real pre made cables with foolproof plugs.
Any insight would be appreciated.
