Hello all! First post in this forum.
I am trying to bind these two together: Spektrum DX5e 5-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System, DSMX, Mode 2 Spektrum AR6255 DSM2 6-Channel Robot Receiver
I am having problems making the receiver enter bind mode.
I have 4AA batteries hooked up to the AR6255 and the Bind Plug inserted, but when I power it up both the red and the orange light light up.
I think the orange light is supposed to blink indicating it is in bind mode, but nothing I seem to try can get that orange light to start blinking.
I have tried: - using a test lead instead of the bind plug (in case the bind plug was broken) - powering the AR6255 through different ports (I've tried both the THRO and the AUX1 ports)
Each time both the red and orange lights go on and stay lit.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I hope I'm missing something easy.

Brazil has evidently decided to take a high-tech approach to security for next year’s soccer World Cup with news that the nation’s government has signed a $7.2 million deal with Massachusetts firm iRobot for 30 of its PackBot military robots.

Hello everyone. I'm a retired mechanical engineer who has had a stroke and I'm having difficulty finishing an old electronics project.
Since retirement I have become a hobby farmer in rural Indiana. My project is an automated chicken coop door but I can't think clearly enough to finish. I have the mechanics for the door 100% finished and I am currently using an old electronic controller that I designed and built several years ago. It works fine but I want to kick my design up a few notches and use an Arduino UNO with a motor controller shield and a realtime clock. I have all of these components and I have developed several sketches to operate the motor.
My problem is that since a stroke put me out of commission a year ago I cannot think clearly enough to complete my sketches any more. I would hate to have to toss all of my equipment in the dumpster since I'm so far along and near completion (I think).
Do any of you know how I could get assistance with my project? My needs are very simple and I'm sure there are many folks out there who could solve my issues with ease. Is there anyone who could lead me to the help I need?
