Most of the older FM radios support the PPM interface.
If you are the owner of a transmitter that supports the er9X/erSky9X or OpenTX firmwares (Frsky Taranis or the FlySky TH9X or the Turnigy 9X family) you have the additional option to use a serial protocol to communicate between your Tx and the MULTI-Module. (Owners of Walkera Devo transmitters should look at the [Deviation Tx](http://www.deviationtx.com) project for how to achieve the same end goal). This serial protocol does not require any hardware modifications, but will likely require updating the firmware on your radio. For those willing to do this, there are some nice advantages:

This serial protocol does not require any hardware modifications, but will likely require updating the firmware on your radio. For those willing to do this, there are some nice advantages:
- The model and protocol selection and binding is done from the Model Settings menu on the Tx
- For telemetry capable transmitters, the telemetry integration is done seamlessly with the Tx firmware. (Note that FrSky TH9X/Turnigy 9X/R transmitters require a telemetry mod to be done before telemetry can work).

The instructions below are relevant to the following firmwares:
1. Taranis with erSky9X available [here](http://www.er9x.com)
1. Taranis with OpenTx available [here](http://plaisthos.de/opentx/)
1. Taranis/Horus with OpenTX 2.2 and multimodule option enabled [here](http://www.open-tx.org/)
The MULTI-module can be used with all transmitters and firmwares in PPM mode. Taranis transmitters running erSky9X or OpenTX (Version 2.1.8 Multi or Version 2.2) fully support Serial mode.

First, confirm that the MULTI-Module has the required physical connections between the pins on the back of the Tx and the ATMega328 microprocessor. This may require some soldering and depends on which version of the DIY Multiprotocol module you have. Check out the specific pages for your module hardware (under the section "Enabling Serial") linked [here](Hardware.md) for details.
1. Plug in your MULTI-Module into the Taranis module bay.
1. Plug in your MULTI-Module into the transmitter's module bay.
2. If you have a rotary protocol selection switch, turn the switch to position 0 to put the unit into Serial mode.
2. Ensure throttle is down and all switches are in the start position and power up the Taranis. The red LED on the MULTI-Module should be flashing with a period of about 1s indicating that it has not established a valid serial link with the Tx. This is expected as we have not set up the Tx yet.
3. Create a new model (make sure channel order is AETR) and on the first Model Settings page scroll down to disable the internal RF and enable the external RF by selecting MULTI as the external RF. Your Taranis settings should look like this: {insert picture of Taranis screen showing external RF settings} The Red LED on the MULTI-Module should briefly flash and then go off. This confirms that the MULTI-Module module has established serial communication with the Tx.

The Red LED on the MULTI-Module should briefly flash and then stay on. This confirms that the MULTI-Module module has established serial communication with the Tx.
4. If the red LED on the module continues to flash at a period of about 1s then it signals that serial communication has not been established. Check your settings under the model menu as described above and check that the protocol selection switch on the module is at 0 (zero). If there is still no communication, power down and power up the Tx. Finally check that you have correctly enabled your module for serial as described in specific pages for your module hardware (under the section "Enabling Serial") linked [here](Hardware.md)
###Protocol Selection in Serial mode
To select the protocol, scroll through the available options under the Model Settings menu. Depending on which protocol you have selected you may be required to select a sup-protocol and options. For example, the FrSky protocol has three sub-protocols FrSkyV, FrSkyD and FrSkyX. Each of the sub-protocols may have options that specify the number of channels and the packet frame rate, etc.
The following picture shows DSM DSMX Option 6 (6 channels and 11ms frame rate). Check out the [Protocol Details](Protocol_Details.md) page for detailed information and suggestions regarding the sub-protocols and options.
###Binding in Serial mode
1. Switch on the model or put the receiver into bind mode
1. On the transmitter go to the Model Settings menu and scroll down to the [Bind] menu option and press Enter.
