Yes...I have 2 Xicoy modules for Spektrum. I no longer use Spektrum radios

I believe that the latest Spektrum update now gives you a low fuel alarm with the Xicoy and Projet ECU's. I haven't installed it yet but, it's in the update notes.

I have dx 18 first gen.

will fuel info,, show up on my radio???
any acc. needed? thanks

If you install the latest code from the website, yes it will show up.

You only need the Xicoy interface, the cable to the TM1000, and a TM1000. If you're using an AR7350 or AR9350 then no TM1000 is needed - it plugs right into the receiver.

Thank you

Why does my DX18 show 9216 holds and generates a warning when the xicoy adapter is plugged in. Yet in the powerbox royal the holds are normal and stay at 0.
Unplug the adapter and things work normal.
Both the xbus and data cable go to the powerbox. And a xbus y cable is used to plug in the xicoy adapter.
DX18 and powerbox both have all new updates.
Any ideas Andy?

I have two Y's here: One for connecting a Spektrum AR12120 receiver data port to both a Spektrum Data Logger and a TM1000 data port. The other connecting a Xicoy FADEC data port to both a System Analyzer and through a Xicoy TelSpektrum Adapter to the Xbus port of the TM1000. Please see photo. Will this work?

You shouldn't need the separate data logger. The TX will display that info. Take that y harness out and it should be fine.

Thanks Jeff. Some people have had range problems with the TM1000 so I want to use the data logger to see if the receiver antennas have any fades beyond that point.
Since the receiver records the data I could leave the data logger out and just plug it in after each flight to see if there are any differences, but I have plenty of room in the fuse so I thought I'd just leave it in there.
I went ahead and powered everything up as pictured and the GSU and ECU both work fine Y'd together as does the TM1000 and data logger.

AndyKunz

The TM1000 has much less range than the control system by design. Antenna fade data will be store until you come back into telemetry range - you don't have to worry about not being able to see fades at a long distance. Honestly, the control range is well beyond visual range. Individual fades are not going to be a problem if you are flying your jet with at least 2 remote receivers, probably 3 or 4 positioned well according to the video starring John Redman.

Thanks Andy. Yes, I have an AR12120 PowerSafe and my 4 receivers are already well placed and positioned similarly to as shown in John's video. I just wanted to be sure that there wouldn't be a problem if I set up a Y for redundant data. So far all the tests I have done seem to confirm the TM1000 and data logger can be Y'd together.

AndyKunz

The TM1000 and data logger can be Y'd together. Buy why? You have the data coming out of the TM1000.

I may not leave leave them Y'd in the plane, even though I do have plenty of room. I noticed a 0.1V difference between the rec pack voltage shown on the data logger and on the DX18 display of TM1000 data, but that is not a problem. I do like seeing the data from the FADEC (ECU) such as EGT, ECU batt voltage, etc. and having the ability to use alarms for some of the data.

i know this is an old thread but did they ever get the DMSS system do for the module? i have one but it doesn't offer DMSS in the GSU menu. only jeti,multiplex and futaba .
