Futaba SBUS reverse engineered to work with Arduino

I have used the library with a FrSky X8R.

It works very well, see the test sketch below for an example I use on a Mini Pro.
The only problem with that is that I can't get any debug output, so I used a 1284 board to test as it has two hardware serial ports.

FrSky works already inverted.

Yes, and therefor you need an inverter I have tried a 74hc14 or just a transistor with two resistors
Ans I use 3.3V on the Pro Mini to avoid logic level converter

// for using mini with one serial
// change SBUS.h line 12 for normal Arduino
// #define port Serial1 --for  Arduino with more than one Serial port 
// #define port Serial --for normal Arduino with one Serial port 

#include <FUTABA_SBUS.h>
#include <Servo.h> 

FUTABA_SBUS sBus;
Servo myservo;

void setup(){
  sBus.begin();
  myservo.attach(14); 
}

void loop(){
  sBus.FeedLine();
  if (sBus.toChannels == 1){
    sBus.UpdateServos();
    sBus.UpdateChannels();
    sBus.toChannels = 0;
    myservo.writeMicroseconds(sBus.channels[6]+800);
  }
}
