Hello from France,

I have a problem with the Spirit Gov, with an AVIAN ESC 60A.
I have a XLPower 380 with a brand new Spirit3
I first tested with YGE ESC and a Hobbywing rpm sensor : all was good !
I wanted to have less cables, so I purchased an AVIAN 60A with full telemetry.

The telemetry works well, but the governor never engage.
I have calibrated the throttle without gov enable, then I enable the gov.
I have tested with different curves without success.

I d'ont have the message RPM Sensor data are too noisy.

I have tested with the same battery and parameter than the YGE, but nothing : the YGE engage the gov, but not the AVIAN.
I have done a video to show you that the rpm is visible by the Spirit :

First at 51% then 75%.

I followed this page, and it seems that the Throttle Range in the ESC is calibrated incorrectly.
But, with the linear curve (no Gov), the rpm rise until the 100% throttle !

In the Diagnostic Tab, all is correct for the throttle channel (0-50-100 linear) : the 100% when the stick is at 100%.

I thank you very much for your help ;)

The AVIAN parameters :
- aircraft type : fixed wing
- start-up mode : normal
- freewheel : disable

Here a short video with the YGE : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnZuvWiqR1Q

I have the same issue with the AVIAN 3S, 4S and 6S.
With the YGE all works with 3, 4 and 6S.

Hello,

Governor can work with Avian only after connecting external RPM sensor. RPM from telemetry is way too slow to make it work correctly.

Hello Tomáš,

I thank you for your response.
So, I have to reconnect my Hobbywing rpm sensor ?

So bad news...
