I just finished a Nitron build and the governor is either not working or seriously over speeding. Today was the first flights and I started hovering in normal which has a curve of 0-25-40-50-65. I switched to idle 1 which is supposed to be 2000 and the RPM display showed over 2400. I don’t have a tach but it was well north of 2000. I am using the Spartan sensor split so that the signal goes to the middle pin of the RPM input and the power/ground go to aux 2. I’m using 2 active magnets and the sensor divider set to 2 with a max RPM of 2200. The curve is a flat 91. I moved everything from a Kraken 580n with the only change being the use of 2 active magnets. The log is clean as far as I could tell but I didn’t check until I got home not realizing Spirit clears the log on power up unlike Vbar that keeps it. I verified the sensor shows “inactive” over both magnets.

I’m using a new GT with a Jeti Rex 7. The throttle goes to channel 1 on the Jeti rx which I believe is the same way it was setup on the Kraken but I’m not 100% positive. I’m out of ideas at this point.

The throttle servo has to be connected to the GT, otherwise the GT can not control the throttle.
