Telemetry Cable

[akschu]

Tomas,

What is in the cable for the HW and scorpion ESCs?

I have the connectors so I can make it, but does it have a pull up resistor or some other passive components in it?

Thanks,

Hello,

Telem UNI is working only as adaptor.
You will need to solder signal and ground cables together. But + lead (red) must be disconnected on both sides - very important.

[akschu]

Sorry Tomas, that doesn't make sense to me. I get removing the +lead as you don't need power from the telemetry, but I don't understand solder ground and signal together. If signal is pulled to ground before the spirit how do you get any bits?

Sorry for confusion.

I meant it in this way:
Servo orange <-> JST orange
Servo brown <-> JST brown

So there will be just two wires.

[akschu]

Oh, in that case I highly recommend that you update the wiki to mention that for non-castle telemetry you can use a servo extension with the red wire removed so that people can make their own cable without needing to wait for a cable to come from the store.

Thanks,
schu

We are shipping the cables each day, they will be in stock for longer time in the following days.
But the point of the Telem cables is, that we recommend to use them, since they are tested and will work with no modification.
So there is no risk that you can't damage anything.
Next thing is that it can at least partially pay for the cost and development of the ESC telemetry.
So by this way, you can support our work and we can make further improvements.

I ordered three cables, even though I can make them, and I thank you for your efforts. They were reasonably priced as well.

thank you,
