My setup is:
- OMP M4 65 A ESC with newest firmware (B3.4)
- Spirit telemetry cable for OMP
- Spirit 3 fbl with firmware 4.0.3
- Spektrum 4651t with newest firmware
- Spektrum NX10+ with newest firmware
I wired according to the spirit manual for using the OMP ESC telemetry and the spirit manual for Spektrum SRXL integration.
Almost everything went as as expected and works as documented. But I do not get any data for current (A) nor capacity (mAh).
I get RPM, vibration level and ESC voltage (although little higher as measured otherwise).
But the value for A and mAH always shows "0".
I reread the manual and rechecked everything. It stays at "0" even under load.
I tried auto-config in Spektrum TX and the manual sensor configuration in Spektrum TX telemetry menu without success.
I do not know what to check more.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
OMP M4 65A ESC Telemetry works but not data for current (A) and capacity (mAh)
Can you please verify that you can't see any current also in the PC software / ESC telemetry window?
There is chance you are watching at a wrong telemetry screen. Spektrum radio offer multiple screen and each one is for a different purpose.
We have same ESC here and it works normally for us.

Thanks for your feedback.
On my Spektrum NX10+ I am looking at the two telemetry screens "ESC Status" and "Flight Pack Capacity" as shown in the screenshots.
In ESC Status I see ESC Voltage, RPM, FET Temp and Vibration Level (% Output). But the value for current (A) stays always at "0". Even under load during flight.
In Flight Pack Capacity I see the FET Temp with correct values but the values for current and mAh there stay always at "0" as well.
On which other screen should the value for the OMP M4 65 current be displayed?
I tried both in my NX10+ but the displayed screens stay the same: "ESC status" and "Flight Pack mAh":
But this test can only be done without blades on the bench and therefore without load. And your docs say that this ESC does indicate 0 without load.
Please advice how can I proceed:
- Is there another screen I should look at?
- Is there a way to look at the PC-Software during flight?
- Any other Idea to get it working?
- What Spektrum components do you use with which firmware level?
Thank you

I tried both in my NX10+ but the displayed screens stay the same: "ESC status" and "Flight Pack mAh":
- The manual configuration according to your documentation for Spektrum integration (Screen 1 = "ESC" and Screen 3 = "Flight Pack mAh".)
- The Auto-Config that results in (Screen 1 = "Smart ESC", Screen 2 = "Smart Battery" and Screen 3 = "Flight Pack mAh")
But this test can only be done without blades on the bench and therefore without load. And your docs say that this ESC does indicate 0 without load.

I have rechecked: In Spirit PC Software the value for current is always 0 as well.
Then I checked the value for current directly in the ESC by connecting the OMP app via the bluetooth module: Even there the value for current is 0.
This may indicate that the sensor within the ESC is broken. But this could be caused by the fact that this test was on the bench without load (all blades removed for safety).
Does anyone know if there would be a small peak in current when starting the motor without blades?
