Trottle signal via telemetry?

Hi there is it possible to se trottle signal that the spirit send to the esc ?? this would be a great future when you fine tune the governor settings on my helis as all motors don't hold there stated KV and the gearing can be a bit different sometimes deepening on that and the timing the esc use.

If this is not possible atm will there be an upgrade for this? this is also a great tool to see if your under or over geared without the hassle to read the log in the esc on a computer and such

Equipment i use:
Radio: Jeti DS16
ESC: castle edge and kontronic jive

Spirit already supports outputting RPMs with telemetry if you are using governor.

You can then log it or compare directly in the main screen.

yea the rpm future is really nice(i already use it) but i wanted the trottle signal to se the pwm send to my esc so for instans i know when I'm just hovering my heli that the esc is outputting around 80-90 percent power, which tell me the governor have great working area to hold my requested rpm under load. another thing is when i fly a session i can then later on se if it was much 100% trottle output for a longer time, which would indikate i might need new batteries (will compare the amp and voltage to the pwm signal and head speed) or if i might need to change gearing due to to low pwm when hovering (inefficeint for ecs)

Thanks for the clarification. We already working on the method that allows you to determine if your throttle range is correct prior to the flight.
So you will know if your gear ratio is still good.
