compatible servos and gyros, etc.
In addition, the operating mode (high-speed mode/normal

What is S.BUS?
Different from conventional radio control systems the S.BUS
system uses data communication to transmit control signals
from a receiver to a servo, gyro, or other S.BUS compatible
device. This data includes commands such as “move the
channel 3 servo to 15 degrees, move the channel 5 servo to
30 degrees” to multiple devices. The S.BUS devices execute
only those commands for their own set channel. For this
reason, it can be used by connecting multiple servos to the
same signal line.
