[SOLVED] Spirit HW telemetry and FrSky sensors
I'd like to monitor individual cell voltages using the FrSky SP-FLVS voltage sensor. Is there someway I can do this while using Spirit telemetry from the HW 160A V4 ESC? I tried a quick test using a Y cable on the FrSky Smart Port but it did not work.
Hello,
normally it should work with all sensors together just by using Y-cable. But as of now we know that GPS is somehow not compatible at the moment.
Just make sure that the connection is good and that the Y-cable is on the side of receiver (before the integration cable for the unit).

I have a similar setup. But I don't use Y wire.
The frsky integration wire plugs into the sys port as normal. The other end, plug in to the frsky voltage sensor. Then run a separate wire from the second terminal on the voltage sensor to the smart port.
So basically the sensor have to be inn series connection.
The telemetry wire from the esc go into the port on the side of spirit.
Then power up and search for new sensor on the radio.

Thanks! I was working on it last night and noticed that one of my voltage sensors is not working correctly (zip tie was probably too tight), so that's probably why the series connection did not work for me when I tried it. Knowing that it should (and does) work is very helpful.
Forgot to mention that if you power on the system before you connect one of the wire for telemetry, and plug it in with the power on, it will not work. It have to be connected before power up to see the sensors.
I was playing around with power on and switch wire around like crazy to get it to work. When I stop to think a little, and rebooted the system, it al worked perfectly [emoji16].
