Under Construction
Spektrum Telemetry
- Easy to setup (really just the third pin plug and telemetry slider in configurator) and provides the following Telemetry Data:
- Provided by Rx:
- Fades (frames lost by individual sub-Rx)
- Frames (frames of data lost buy all combined Rx)
- Holds (Failsafe caused buy more than 40 continuous Frame losses)
- Some may provide Rx bus (BEC) voltage, SPM4649T appears to not provide it
- Provided by Betaflight/FLEXF3:
- Main Battery Pack (Main 3S) Voltage
- Virtual (estimated) Current
- Virtual (estimated) Capacity used (fuel totalizer)
- Provided by Rx:
- Choose a telemetry capable receiver such as the SPM4649T (Preferred) or AR8010T
- Bind the receiver to the transmitter
- Connect to FLEXF3 using the first 3 pins (-,+,signal). (Use 3-male to 3-mail pin cable if required for AR8010T style receivers)
- Use your configuration tool to: (hit the pages 'Save' button before leavng each page)
- On Configuration page
- Make sure Receiver Mode is set to a serial based receiver.
- Make sure Serial Receiver Provider is set to SPEKTRUM2040/SRXL
- Now in Other Features, set the TELEMETRY slider to ON.
- On the Receiver page, make sure your Channel Map is set to TAER1234 (SPEKTRUM)
- On Configuration page
- You should now have Telemetry, and you can use your transmitters instructions and settings to display and alarm as desired.
Futaba Telemetry
- Only Telemetry provided by the Rx is available. Receivers are available that can sample Main Pack Voltage.
- Betaflight/FLEXF3 Data not available, so no Betaflight settings are made.
- Choose an S.Bus capable receiver (T-FHSS, FASSTest) that provides Telemetry and has a Voltage port (XXX, R7008SB FASSTest)
- "Y" or "Split" the small cable that provides Voltage Data to the FLEXF3. Install the Futaba compatible Voltage Cable/Plug to the voltage cable. (check polarity carefully!)
- Plug the voltage cable into the receiver
- Follow the Futaba instruction to configure the Futaba equipment to display/alert with telemetry
