I have the Spirit connected to the Futaba R7008SB by the special SBUS-cable and the RPM outlet cable from the Hobbywing Platinum 100 V3 to the Spirit, because I'm using the Spirit governor.
If I understand right I have to replace the special SBUS cable by the standard SBUS patch cable connected to the AUX port of the Spirit and the modificated FRYSKY Integration cable
as an additional one from SBUS2 port of the receiver to the RUD and the EIL port of the Spirit. To which port I have to connect the RPM cable from the ESC???

Hello Ortie!

You have to replace currently used S-Bus Adapter by FrSky integration cable (with small modification described in the guide).
Additionally to power up the receiver you can connect secondary BEC to some free port or additional servo cable (to a free port in the unit).

So it will look like as in the guide:
http://manual.spirit-system.com/index.p ... _Telemetry

It will transmit channels and telemetry over the FrSky integration cable.

RPM wire will be connected in the same position as now - it is only possible that same connector will be used (shared with modified FrSky integration cable).

You can get also 1-pin plastic for both RPM lead and integration cable. We can give you some for free.

Hello.
We recommend the latest version 7.

This is version that we were testing with (also on 14SG).
