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)
• 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)
  

  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, 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
