Below is an example of an X-BUS Telemetry Link set-up for Surface, Air and Internal Governor Systems. You can see how the Telemetry Link (about 5.4 inches long) connection is made between the Castle ESC and the Spektrum® X-Bus™ receiver and Telemetry Module/System.
And how about this….there is no requirement for additional Telemetry Sensors for your Spektrum® radio when using the X-BUS Telemetry Link. There are 7 specific data points available* and you can enable/disable to your liking through Castle Link™.
Note: data points available may vary depending on the ESC's capabilities.
Spektrum® X-Bus Telemetry Link Data Points | |
Battery Voltage | You will be able to see the voltage state of your battery during flight and respond appropriately to deteriorating conditions or alarms you’ve programmed in your radio. |
Battery Current | Reduce the load (throttle usually) to prevent an over-current shut down and know immediately if your consuming too much current in a particular maneuver. |
Motor Power Output | This is the percentage of full power your ESC is delivering to your motor. |
RPM | Ensure you are within acceptable parameters, without the use of a tachometer. |
BEC Voltage | Monitor your BEC voltage and its stability to the RX even under different loads from different servos. |
ESC Temperature | ESC temperature monitoring can eliminate a potential thermal shut down. |
Battery Ripple | Just how hard are the capacitors, FETS, and internal components working with your set up, excessive ripple can cause internal heating of batteries. Excessive heat is harmful to the components and it can ultimately kill the controller. |
Operation of a model aircraft requires your undivided attention. We encourage you to refer to your transmitter manual to configure tactile and/or aural alerts to ensure your safety, and the safety of those around you.
Have confidence in pushing your model to its limits.
Let’s face it, your time and your energy should be devoted to enjoying your craft. Telemetry adds a whole new aspect to the RC pilot or driver that, when set-up and utilized properly, can take a lot of work load away and add to the overall satisfaction and safe operation of model airplanes, helicopters and cars.
