The PPM Encoder V1.3 with case converts PWM signals into a PPM output. It is a versatile, reliable solution for flight controllers, autopilots and servo controllers, and it is designed for integration with Arduino systems.
It is useful when you have a receiver that outputs one PWM signal per channel, but your flight controller wants a single PPM signal on one wire. The encoder simplifies complex setups and gives smooth, dependable communication between receiver and flight controller.
The listing says it is pre-flashed with firmware for plug-and-use operation, and that it is configured to read 8 channels.
Effortless integration: pre-flashed firmware for plug-and-use operation.
High accuracy: stable operation with accurate signal conversion.
8-channel capability: reads 8 channels.
Customisable: invert the PPM signal and adjust fail-safe values with an AVR ISP programmer.
Durable design: comes with a protective case.
A basic receiver gives each channel its own output, so an eight-channel receiver needs eight signal wires to reach the flight controller. PPM (pulse position modulation) combines all the channel values into a single stream on one wire, which saves wiring and lets older or simpler flight controllers read many channels through one input.
The encoder reads the PWM pulses from each receiver channel, measures their widths and then sends them one after another as a PPM frame. Because the values are measured and re-sent, the encoder should be powered at a stable 5V and the receiver channels must be connected in order.
After wiring, check in the flight controller's setup screen that each channel moves as expected, and set the fail-safe values so that the aircraft behaves safely if the signal is lost.

The package contains the encoder module with case, an input cable and an output cable. The input takes PWM channels from the receiver and the output gives a single PPM signal.
To invert the PPM output or change the fail-safe values you will need an AVR ISP programmer. The manufacturer part number is FA-010.
