My FPV Remote doesn't seem to change signals on any channels no matter how I set it up in the configuration menu on the goggles. Neither the gimbals nor switches seem to be recognized. The same goes in BetaFlight - there is no change on any channel regardless of what position the inputs are in. The gimbals respond in calibration mode, so I doubt it is a mechanical issue.

I've followed a few threads similar to this issue but haven't found a particularly definitive answer. I tried setting ARM to SA, and the arm setting popped up in BetaFlight, but I can't get it to respond to input. I know how to lock and unlock the controller with the C button, and that's not it.

FWIW, my FC stack is a T-Motor F7 Mini + F45 ESC. No extras installed aside from a buzzer. My motors respond fine to manual control in BetaFlight and everything appears to be normal otherwise.

I'm sure there's already a solution out there - if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks for your time,

You need to check all the settings related to communication with the air unit.
1. Is the correct UART enabled in the ports tab?
2. Is S-Bus selected on the configuration tab?
3. If the DJI protocol is selected, have you set SBUS_BAUD_FAST on?

Thanks. The UART port is enabled as per the FC manufacturer's recommended configuration. SBUS is enabled in the configuration tab.

I did set SBUS_BAUD_FAST = ON, but the DJI protocol never showed up in BetaFlight (v10.7.0). I had read that there is a corresponding setting on the goggles, but I wasn't able to find it when I was working on it yesterday.

Thanks for your time! ~Joe

I don't think you will see DJI protocol in BetaFlight ( unless that was just added recently ).  It is purely a CLI option.  The important thing is that you have the goggles and betaflight set to the same "language".  Either sbus, or fast sbus.  If one or the other is not the same, they won't talk to each other.  I think the goggles call the older slow sbus protocol "normal" and the new one "sbus fast".  The easy test is to change the setting in the goggles and see if it fixes your issue.

I didn't have the goggles in fast SBUS mode. At first it didn't seem to make a difference, but after restarting the FC I'm getting responses on all channels.

Thank you both for your help, it's a huge relief.
