ESC Telemetry Talon 15A

Hi,

I can't make the telemetry from my ESC working.

My config :

- microSpirit
- Spektrum SPM 4650 receiver ( SRXL2 )
- DX8 G2
- Castle Creation Talon 15 A

I think telemetry from the microspirit is working because I can see the " Status ESC " screen : Gaz and Vibration level are OK.
I have enabled " Link live " on the ESC and also " Castle Creations Phoenix & Talon " on the spirit.
Throttle is channel 1 and the ESC cable is connected to AUX.
I can access the spirit config screen on my radio.
But as you can see in the picture attached, all ESC values are 0.

Any idea ? Do I need to change something on my radio ?

Thanks

Are you using a Telem CC cable in the throttle line?

Thanks for your reply !

Well, I though it was just a cable but as I'm seeing it, I'm wrong : this cable has electronic....isn't it ?

I will order it today.

Regards,

"For Experts: Alternatively you can modify your current Throttle cable by adding 10kOhm resistor between white (signal) and red (+) wires. In this case the Telemetry cable is not required."
From the manual...

Yes, thanks !

But I want to be sure that telemetry is working with the spirit cable because the ESC cable is short and it is not easy to solder the resistor. I will try with a PCB resistor because I need to save weight, the weight of my tiny heli is ~ 100 g.
