Figure 6.7 Diagram of the experimental R/C test system.
The procedure for binding a DX-8 to a Spektrum AR8000 receiver is a bit different from
the BT pairing. I will use an experimental setup that is shown in diagram form in Figure 6.7
to demonstrate the process. The complete experiment will be discussed later in this chapter.
The binding steps are listed below:
• Ensure that the battery is not connected to the ESC. The DX-8 should also be turned
off.
• Put the bind plug into the BIND/DAT port on the AR8000. Figure 6.8 shows the
plug in place and the ESC BEC plugged into the throttle port.
