[Solved]Spirit Governor

I'm using Jeti DS14 with Spirit Pro on my Goblin380. The ESC is HW60A V4. The motor is HK3020.
I set the divider to 5 which is 10/2 and gear ratio to 5.7 = 120/21
I enabled the Governor and using a standard TH curve just for testing purpose, I set the max RPM to 3200 but it reaches 3200 when the TH stick is at 50%. When the TH goes to 60% it reaches 4000 rpm and still increasing slowly.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

Did you connect the ESC to Spirit?

Yes, I followed the HW telemetry guide and wired properly and I can see the RPM in the main screen.

Max rpm in Spirit settings means the max rpm you will get at 100% throttle. In your case approx. 4000rpm. So when e.g. the curve is set to 75% you get 3000rpm.
You might want to set max rpm to 3600.

Hello,

when you open the software and go to the Governor/Throttle, what requested RPM you can see there?
Requested RPM should be approximately equal with Current RPM once the motor is spooled up.

They are both 0, but if I click the tester, the RPM shows up the same number as in Transmitter.

I checked the log, "Governor engaged" is not showing up.
I also tried to uncheck the governor and I got the linear RPM, whenever I stop moving the stick, the RPM stays. If I check the governor, the RPM will keep increasing even I stop moving the stick.
The HW60A V4 is set to linear throttle.

That is quite strange - you have to see a Requested RPM in the Governor window when you will set a throttle curve above 50%.
If it is under, then it will be zero.
I recommend to use a flat throttle curve.

Is the governor enabled in all banks (if banks are enabled)?

Ok, I will try a flat curve at 70%.
No, but I only have 1 bank configured(bank 0) and only use this bank.

This time I got the requested RPM shows up, and the value looks good.
But the current RPM is always 0, if I click tester, I can see the current RPM and it still showing up on transmitter screen.
I checked the log, still no "Governor engaged" shows up.
