Hey repentsinner, great build and quite the inspiration :)
I've got the DSM2 version and would like to do the same as you but using a mikro DSMx Rx as I have the DX6 G2 EU Tx that only uses DSMx.
3V3 (V right of the STM chip on pic 2?) and Ground is not an issue (I guess) but locating the Rx test point and resistor is a mystery to me. I'm hoping the O or K spots to the right of the chip in pic 2 could be the simple Rx solution.
Hi @tembax, do you think you could get sharper photos? It's hard to see what's going on from here, but the short trace that runs directly under the 'K' silkscreen is the RX line into the F3 chip. It goes to the via between the G and K test points, and looks like it comes out on the other side of the board just to the left of the boot pins. Just to the left of that is an SMT component, my guess is that if you remove this component and attach your RX to the right pad it may work. Hitting that pad will be difficult, that's a tiny part and the trace isn't going to be very strong so you may want to glue the wire down if you do manage to solder to it successfully. There's also what appears to be a solder bridge to the left of that SMT component, if you can get a clearer idea of what all of these traces do you might find a more successful place to solder. If you can get a sharper photo of that section I may be able to offer more guidance.
Oh, and in case it goes without saying, my advice based on a photo comes without warranty - I can't guarantee that you won't destroy your FC by doing this :D
I hope that works for you, post up here if you're successful or not!
Not much tbh. If you're in the eu, send me your adress details and I'll send you my modded fc with a satellite. It works but is a bit of a b*tch to setup. Depending on shipping costs, perhaps we'll split the cost.

What do you think?

Do equals glory!
Hey eny update on this?

how did you do it?
Im from denmark to ;-)
Careful soldering!
