@chris66 I’ve tested DSMX, PPM and S.BUS on master and all work fine. If you have time it would be entertaining to see if you have luck with master and RC input. Where did you buy your Pixracer from?

I will try this, thanks. I bought it on ebay, because for a long time Pixracer was Out of Stock on the official website. Now I have seen this is no more the case. Is this a new version of Pixracer?

What I tried first is to reinstall my Pixhawk 2.4.X controller and after loading the PX4 firmware, I had no problems calibrating the radio.

@LorenzMeier I have to agree with Chris. Using the current stable release and a known working Spektrum DSMx Satellite. I have confirmed it is not recognized on 2 separate PixRacers with different cables. I load the same firmware onto a 3DR PixHawk using the same Satellite and it is detected fine. I …

As you suggested, I tried Master. It is not working either.

Concerning wifi and the esp-01 module: Is it the esp port on the pixracer just another UART port with 3.3v for the esp? If I were to use a different esp module say the esp-02 (with external antenna) and used jeelabs instead of the mavlink firmware for the pixracer, could I still use the pinout fo…

The esp8266 socket does connect to a uart port. You can find the pinout on the schematic linked here: https://pixhawk.org/modules/pixracer .

That’s really odd. I have a DXe connected to a SPM4648 working perfectly fine here. What are you using?
