Telemetry
FrSky offers a very comprehensive telemetry system. The power of telemetry has lifted the RC
hobby to a whole new level, and allows much more sophistication and a much richer modeling
experience.
Smart Port telemetry
FrSky's series of sensors are a hub-less design. Smart Port (S.Port) uses a three wire
physical bus comprising of Gnd, V+ and Signal. S.Port telemetry devices are daisy chained
together in any sequence and plugged into the S.Port connection on compatible X and S and
later series receivers. The receiver can achieve half duplex communication at a rate of
57600bps (F.Port and FBUS are faster) with many compatible devices through this
connection with little or no manual set up.
Physical ID
Smart Port supports up to 28 nodes including the host receiver. Each node must have a
unique Physical ID to ensure that there are no clashes in communication. Physical IDs
may range between 00 hex and 1B hex (between 00 and 27 decimal).

The table above lists the default Physical IDs of FrSky S.Port devices. Please note that if
you have more than one of any of them, the Physical ID of the duplicate devices must be
changed to ensure that each device in the S.Port chain has a unique Physical ID.
