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, 4649T appears to not provide it
    • Provided by Betaflight/FLEXF3:
      • Main Battery Pack (Main 3S) Voltage
      • Virtual (estimated) Current
      • Virtual (estimated) Capacity used (fuel totalizer)
  • Choose a telemetry capable receiver such as the AR4649T (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)
    Set Telemetry Slider and Save
    • 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)
  • 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, XXX)
    • "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
