Serial plotter and monitor don't work while using sbus

[Berat]

Hello,
I am working on a basic drone project with teensy 3.6. Just started and try to read values from Radiolink at9s pro. I use futaba sbus example and want to see the values of first 4 channels of the transmitter. But according to a youtube channel, I should observe the values in serial monitor and plotter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98MwXc7FuMk this is Turkish but you can see 17:20-19:20).He is using arduino mega and I am trying to do the exact same thing with using teensy 3.6. But when I open serial plotter or monitor nothing happens. Usb Type:Serial and Port: COM6 Serial (Teensy 3.6).
Here is my code:

#include <FUTABA_SBUS.h>



FUTABA_SBUS sBus;


void setup(){
  sBus.begin();
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop(){
  sBus.FeedLine();
  if (sBus.toChannels == 1){
    sBus.UpdateServos();
    sBus.UpdateChannels();
    sBus.toChannels = 0;

Serial.print(sBus.channels[0]);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.print(sBus.channels[1]);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.print(sBus.channels[2]);
Serial.print(",");
Serial.print(sBus.channels[3]);
Serial.println();
  }
}

Thank you and sorry for the language.

I'm guessing it's this library?
https://github.com/mikeshub/FUTABA_SBUS

The issue is that SBUS uses inverted serial. Based on the way the library opens the serial port, I'm guessing the intent is to use a hardware inverter. I'm partial to it, but I would recommend using the SBUS library I wrote, it was optimized for Teensy:

My SBUS library correctly uses the inverted serial available to Teensy so you don't need any external hardware. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your answer,
Yes I was using that library(mikeshub) and using with an external hardware as an inverter. I tried your library's examples without using any external hardware but in AIN_SBUS_example I got values of channels that randomly changes and can't controlled by my transmitter. I am undergraduate and don't know much of this topic but I will try to learn. But for now if you have any recomendations or ideas I would love to hear.
Thank you again.

Well, the issue is that the AIN example is reading POT values and sending that to SBUS servos, which is not really what you're trying to do as far as I understand it. The below example, just reads all 16 channels from an SBUS receiver and prints the value along with failsafe and lost link information. Note that it assumes the SBUS receiver is connected to Teensy Serial 2, you might need to edit that to whatever UART the SBUS receiver is connected to.

Also can recommend brtaylor's library. Have used it before on a build before and it was awesome!

Yes I realized that AIN example is not doing what I trying to do(felt very ignorant ). But this code worked perfectly the way I wanted to. Also no needed to use any external hardware. Thank you very much for all of you help.
