Default T18Mz update 2.5 and JETCAT V10

Hello
Futaba has released a new apdate for the T18 MZ yesterday.
Then have made a compatibility with JETCAT V10 sensor but there is not any information about it.

Here is the manual of the futaba Update : http://downloads.hobbico.com/softwar...28E%29_WEB.pdf

Anyone have information about the way to connect or to configure it?

Thanks a lot for your reply.
best regards.

Very interesting. I see a new "SBus2 servo sensor" adapter SBS-01S .. I can't find any info on that at all .. but looking at the release notes for the update it looks like something that can monitor position, current draw and temperature of two servos and set alerts. I have been wondering why they would have "SBus2" servos .. since this implies they would send info on telemetry .. guess this is how that's going to work.

In addition to the Jetcat V10 ECU mentioned above, I see the Powerbox listed too .. maybe the Royal SRS can now work with Futaba telemetry .. off to the powerbox forum for some info on that :-)

I was hoping they would start to simplify the telemetry stuff, seems like they are going the wrong way. Sometimes less is more, lots of trial and error these days on getting just a simple gps sensor connected. That being said still love my 18mz, some nice stuff in the update. I like the Sbus servo options for a jammed or locked servo, could save a model if a servo goes bad.

I've used the CB device as well .. works very nicely, simple to hook up too.
