Have you ever wondered about the voltage of your onboard battery, the RPM of your motor, or the temperature of your ESC? In today's world of R/C, communication is no longer one-way. Traditional radio systems transmit signals from the controller to the receiver, but with Telemetry-capable systems, real-time data from your model can be sent back to your transmitter. That's where the X-BUS Telemetry Link comes in. Developed based on a communication protocol disclosed by Spektrum®, this link is designed for use with specific Spektrum® radios and compatible Castle Creations ESCs.
With Telemetry, you can view the data directly on your transmitter screen or set up notifications when certain thresholds are exceeded, such as battery voltage or ESC temperature. You can even configure vibration or sound alerts on your radio. Let's dive into the details.
Why should you integrate Telemetry into your models? Well, Telemetry has the potential to improve model safety by monitoring critical parameters like battery voltages and ESC temperature. It reduces the risk of unforeseen crashes and opens up new possibilities for an even more enjoyable flying experience. Imagine having alarms that warn you if your ESC is running too hot or if your receiver battery is unexpectedly low.
Please note that the X-BUS Telemetry Link is not officially compatible with any Spektrum surface transmitters. Compatibility requires specific software in the transmitter that has not been provided by Spektrum for their surface transmitters.
Specifications:
Size:
• Circuit board: 1.0" (25.4mm) x 0.44" (11mm)
• Overall dimensions: 5.25" (133mm) x 0.44" (11mm) including wires
• Weight: 0.192 oz (5.44g) without wires
Tech Notes:
• The Telemetry Link will not work if the ESC is programmed for Multirotor or External Governor Mode due to the higher PWM frequency.
• The maximum RPM is limited to 100,000 electrical RPM (Calculated by multiplying mechanical RPM by half of the magnetic poles)
• The Telemetry Link cannot be used in conjunction with the B-Link Bluetooth adapter.
