Using SPI receivers with an ACCESS/ACCST LBT/EU radio
Going on for around a year ago, I made a YouTube video to provide a small tutorial on how to enable D8 on an LBT radio. Typically, your Taranis X9D or QX7 radios. Since that time, FrSky developed their ACCESS protocol, and the radios that support it, don’t support the D8 protocol. In fact, in […]
