# SBUS/PPM Receiver Connection
RECEIVER CONNECTION
Connect RC receiver to the right port on the Quick Release
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Warning:** The receiver must be connected to the correct wires. The SBUS/PPM port has a 5V output to power the receiver; please do not use the external power supply to power the receiver at the same time. Doing so may damage the electronics inside the gimbal.
{% endhint %}
Receiver Connection
Connect the SBUS/PPM receiver to the SBUS/PPM port on the Hyper Quick Release as shown in the picture.
The receiver must be connected to the correct wires in order. The SBUS/PPM port has a 5V output to power the receiver; please do not use an external power supply to power the receiver at the same time. Doing so may damage the electronics inside the gimbal.
There are 6 channels to assign: MODE, TILT, ROLL, PAN, TILT SPEED, PAN SPEED.
Assign the MODE channel first, then follow the order above because the MODE channel is used to change operating modes of the gimbal and should be assigned to a 3-position switch as follows:
* Switch at high position: FOLLOW MODE , MOTORS ON
* Switch at middle position: LOCK MODE , MOTORS ON
* Switch at low position: MOTORS OFF
Channel Setting
The TILT and PAN channels should be in speed mode and the ROLL channel in angle mode.
TILT SPEED or PAN SPEED could be assigned to the same channel and should be assigned to a throttle stick, dial, or other non-centering control on the transmitter.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.gremsy.com/gimbals/general/remote-control/sbus-ppm-receiver-connection.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
