Programming the FlySky FS-i6 Transmitter for Combat Robotics
You bought a FlySky-i6 radio system because of its impressive list of features, its incredibly low price, and its
popularity with combat robot builders. It's what you call a 'no-brainer'. Then the box arrived and it contained a
transmitter, a receiver, and no manual. A quick search on the 'net and you have a FlySky manual -- half of it is in
Chinese and the other half might as well be. No problem, you head over to YouTube and soon have multiple
videos on how to setup the FS-i6... for airplanes, helicopters, and quads. What about your combat robot?
Not to worry -- I'm here to help. I'll try to avoid aircraft related names when describing the radio functions but
I'll leave them in where required to allow reference to the manual or labels on the transmitter.
There are multiple versions of the FS-i6 manual on-line. None are good, but the best is this all-English version
from the FlySky site: http://www.flysky-cn.com/download_detail/&downloadsId=4.html
The FlySky i6X transmitter is functionally very similar to the FS-i6. There are some internal differences but almost
everything in this guide applies to the i6X as well. I've added 'i6X' notes where I have found differences.
The contents of this guide were tested and verified on a FlySky i6 running firmware version 2.0 dated 16-Aug-
2017.
