Hi,

I want to connect telementry for Futaba 14SG (Futaba R7008SB) and Hobbywing Platinum 60A V4 ESC

It would work with Spirit 2 with Frsky Cable?

Telemetry from Platinum 60A V4 ESC I make like this, with Telem UNI cable?

Thanks for help. I'm not sure, because I found only information about Spirit 1 :(

Best,

Jacek

Hi,

yes, you are right. You will need both cables to make it work together.

Hi,

I have connected everything. Futaba see correcly a telementry and a RPM information. I have problem with FBL unit, becouse I checked via android app and rpm value is 0 (maybe for a moment I see 400-700 and it change to 0). For clear I tell you, the classic RPM sensor cable from ESC is disconnected from Spirit 2 unit.

Previously when I have connected RPM sensor cable from ESC directly to FBL unit, I have seen values.

Could you help me?

Hi,

what about other telemetry values?
For example Battery Voltage?

Is your ESC updated to the latest firmware (but not for VBar)?

All telementry read from spirit 2 in Futaba works fine, RPM too. Problem is only with value in governor RPM metter in governor setting, because of zero.

ESC is uptodate. Please take a look in attachments.

This is all correct. You can't use RPM value from telemetry for governor. Spirit app is showing data from sensor, but there is no RPM sensor connected.

You can add wire from the ESC in the middle position. This is unused. You can use connector from the FrSky integration cable. Or change servo connector to a single pin plastic. Then you can connect and disconnect both separately.
