I'll just throw in my two cents since it's kinda related... this might help describe what is happening with the linking and binding process.
The P3S is closely related to the P2 Vision series.
I have a Phantom 2 Vision and Phantom 2 Vision Plus. Both those ACs have something called a "range extender" which transmits and receives the 2.4 ghz signal and is a separate much smaller device independent of the main controller although it is attached to the main controller. Because the P2V+ controller has a number of advantages over the straight Vision controller, I wanted to use it to fly my Vision. So I linked the Vision to my P2V+ controller, meaning the Vision AC will now respond to the 5.8 signal from the P2V+ controller, and so will the P2V+ AC. I can fly them one after the other with no re linking. I can even fly both at the same time with one controller.
The FPV/telemetry doesn't work that way because it's a complex two way connection - so if I wanted FPV/telemetry on both, I would have to bind each AC to the range extender which holds the 2.4 ghz transceiver each time I wanted to fly them back to back. So I bought a second Plus range extender for $50 on eBay, binded it to the Vision and attached it to my controller.
Hence, I have one controller for the two ACs, I can use it to fly either AC at a moment's notice with no need to re link or re bind anything.
Unfortunately the P3S has the 2.4 ghz transceiver inside the main controller, so this wouldn't work for a P3S re FPV/telemetry. But it should work for just the linking of the 5.8 control signal if you wanted to simply fly one of the ACs old school. |
