Does anyone have the specs for the telemetry cable for a hobby wing v4 80a? My local shop just went out of stock and they are not ordering before they have a bigger order from spirit so I’m stuck without a cable..

It is just Signal and Ground connection.
Do NOT connect Power Lead (5V)
Observer the lead swap at the Sat connector end.

ok. The pictures are showing the red wire in both ends. Is it just not connected in the center piece with heatshrink on it? I notice the text also says to keep +5v out of it. So there is no level converter or anything inside that shrinkwrap?

It's not connected in the interface cable. Remove it.

I removed the red wire completly on my cable but I honestly can't see that the lead is swapped at SAT connector end. The picture in the wiki doesn't show them swapped? Could we make a basic drawing of this and upload it to the wiki so it's not confusing?

Spirit 2, looking from the top of the unit with the text the correct way, the connection to SAT1 is:
signal / ground / no connection.
(orange / brown / no connection)
