Castle HV 80 does not run high

Happy New Year to all Spirit employees
I have a problem with telemetry configration: Castle HV 80, Spirit Pro, SPM4649T and DX9
I have all the settings as in the manual "Castle Telemetry" made. Including a 10 kOhm resistor installed.
The HV 80 initializes correctly, but the motor does not run high correct. When "engine off" he twitches and at "engine on" he runs at very low speed.
In tab Trottle Settings I worked with "min" and "max" without positive result. :(
If I reset all telemetry settings, the engine will run correctly.
Can you help me ?

Hello and Happy New Year!

Is the cable with 10kOhms made by you or you are using the Telem CC cable?
Very likely the problem could be there. Maybe the cable is too long, if you used some longer extension.

If you are using Spirit Governor then you can try to turn it off. Also make sure the Throttle Frequency is just at 60Hz.

The cable is made by me. 60 Hz is set. The cable is not extended. Spirit Governer is not used

And what BEC voltage is configured? Can you try to decrease the voltage? If this will help then changing the resistor can help.

BEC voltage is 5.9V
do I have to increase or decrease the resistance?

Hmm, in this case all should work well.

Are you sure that the Link-Live feature is enabled, right?

"The cable is not extended " This statement is not correct . I had forgotten, it was about 15 cm extended.
the Link-Live feature is enabled

I removed the resistor, now it works. Only the telemetry data is not always displayed. :shock:

I am afraid but the resistor was maybe not connected properly.

I will order your cable and then report
