I am configuring my first Spirit telemetry with a HW 60A V4 ESC and a Jeti radio. I have gotten the Spirit telemetry RPM to work by simply connecting the ESC RPM wire directly into the Spirit PIT port and entering the correct "Sensing Divider" and "Gear Ratio" values in the "Governor/Throttle settings" menu. I am also using the Spirit Telem UNI cable to obtain the other telemetry parameters from the HW ESC. The problem that I am having is these other Spirit telemetry values are not reading correctly. The is no Amp/current reading and the Vibrations stay at 0%. I am including a link to a video demonstrating the issue.

Please let me know how I can rectify this telemetry issue.

Thank you.

Oops! Dumb ass me just realized that the HobbyWing 60A V4 ESC does not support Amp/current readings.

There is still the issue with the 0% Vibrations reading

Hello,

to verify vibration level, you can just move with the model to make a sharp movements. On the ground it will not show too much.
The vibration level is showing the vibrations that can't be filtered. So to tell what is wrong - whatever value is there is basically wrong.
But in the most helicopters it is not achievable. So anything under 15% is usually good.
