Having setup my Spirit RS recently I am struggling to get telemetry from my Hobbywing 120A V4 ESC.

- Firmware on the ESC is the latest version release "04.0.07-Vbar". I am using the telem uni cable supplied by Spirit, plugged into SAT1.
- I have Hobbywing v4 telemetry enabled in the Spirit RS.
- I have checked the telemetry cable for continuity which I am getting on the signal and negative wire. Positive wire is permanently open, which I would expect to see.
- Auto configured telemetry in the Jeti but no reading for pack voltage / current and in turn no capacity used which is what I ultimately want.

Does anyone have a suggestion of the next option I can try?

... as you are NOT flying vbar you should not install that (x.y.vbar) firmware. go back to the non-vbar-version before and you will be perfectly happy ;)

Thanks Michael, just tried that and it's working now. I was advised to install the latest version to get telemetry working, so thats what I did.

... great it's working for you now!!! :D

nb: yes, for me too it is kind a strange... Hw should put a clear comment in the process, telling us that -vbar version is not simply adding vbar features but changing everything.
cheers
