I cannot get the governor to work in the Spirit GT with the Hobbywing 130A HV Platinum 4.0.

I set the ESC to linear helicopter mode in that there is no option for External Governor.

I set the ESC Active FW to Disabled

In the Spirit Software, I set the hz to 120hz in the Governor Set Up panel

Also set Throttle Frequency: 120Hz.
Throttle Range - Min.: 1100 us.
Throttle Range - Max.: 1940 us.

The RPM cable from the Hobbywing was set to the middle pin setting.

In the Spirit software advanced settings, I set the telemetry setting to Hobbywing.

I am using a Jeti 12 and have the telemetry update installed. The RPM readout recently worked for a Castle 160 Amp ESC.

I cannot get an RPM reading, it just stays at Zero.

Please let me know what I need to do to rectify this issue.

All the best,

Ken

Hello,

If Telem UNI cable is not connected you should not enable Telemetry in the Spirit.
It is enough that RPM pin is connected.

So it could be enough to disable telemetry in the unit.
