My GTR recognizes the sensors from the YGE via Ex Bus on the Jeti DS 24, but no values are shown.
I have the latest firmware 3.4.1 on it and the Jeti Bin file is also the latest.
My Spirit RS works perfectly.
Where is the error? Or is there a software problem with the GTR?

Hello,

have you connected something at the E2 port?
Have you configured E1 port correctly for YGE?
Is YGE configured for EX BUS?

Hello Tomas.
Just played a new update on the controller, now I have the telemetry from the controller.
Now I have another problem, can you connect a second Ex bus sensor to E 2 (GPS power box) if so, is the top pin of the Ex 2? The middle one is for the speed signal.

As you can see in the manual E2 pin should never be used.

Please see manual how telemetry sensors should be connected. The second option is to use EXT pin.

Or you can connect YGE according Spirit YGE telemetry guide which is not using E1 port at all, but SAT1 port.
This will free up port for another telemetry device.

I've tried it now. I connected the sensor pin from the GPS to E 2 and the power supply for it and the aux.
The GPS data are transmitted.
What reason is there not to use the E2.
That's what it would be made for in a Rex receiver.
Please provide information on this.

Reason to not use E2 pin is that your model will crash sooner or later, because this pin is for data transmisssion between receiver part and FBL controller.

Thank you for your explanation.
I will do without the GPS in the helicopter.
But one question, why is the E2 pin laid out and labeled at all if it is not to be used?

It is there for future upgrades and also for possibility to use Spirit GTR just as a receiver.
If you will use Spirit GeoLink then you will get telemetry from it and all telemetry ports will be still free.
