Jetibox
Hello
I have a Jetibox that I was trying to use to measure the output pulse width from a receiver, but whenever I connect the receiver to the Jetibox I get "Communication Error" message. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure the controller is not connected to the receiver. The Jetibox should be set to impulse measurement. Also make sure the jumper cable (supplied with the box) is connected to the blue labeled port on the Jetibox.

Are you using Futaba gear?. A friend of mine had similar problems. Apparently with Futaba transmitters you have an option on transmitter power or speed-can't remember which. Anyway you need to set the transmitter Power/ speed?? setting to low/slow to get the Jeti Box to communicate and allow you to set the output range. Return the Tx settings to your normal position after that then set up the ESC normally.

I had this very same problem 2 days ago and my receiver was in the high speed mode.
I changed to the low speed mode and the Jeti box worked fine.
After I was through with the Jeti box I changed the receiver back to high speed.....works great.

I forgot to mention that I have several receivers so instead of jerking around the wiring in the plane I used another receiver with the Jeti box on the bench to set the throttle endpoints per Jim's info.
