Futaba 18 MZ battery alarm
 

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience of setting up the telemetry in the Futaba 18MZ to monitor the main (10S) drive battery and set an alarm if it goes below a set limit? I've watched a few videos but am still unclear how you set the alarm when voltage drops below a specified amount

Thanks

Keith

Have done it Keith. Not that complicated after you have done it once. What current sensor are you using? - Are you getting real-time telemetry data back to your transmitter? If you are then your 95% there. Go to your telemetry screen at the end of a flight and you should see the maximum reading for each installed (and operational) telemetry device. Select the alarm option to the right and place a value in there which you want to alarm to trigger on.

Hi Peter,

Yes I've got voltage data going back to the Tx, I'm just confused as to the way its being displayed. Ideally I'd like to display the drive voltage or Ext.Battery on the Home screen but can't figure how to do this. On the home screen it displays the Rx voltage and then Ext 0.0 and I'm not sure what this value refers to. The 16.1V is my external or Drive battery, and that's the value I want on my Home screen
Best wishes

Keith

I have mine displayed. I think you ust go to telemetry page but I will check tomorrow and let you know how mine is set up
