18MZ Telemetry
Would someone out there like to try something for me?
18MZ 7008 RX right, I think it must be possible to detect a turbine flameout by detecting a current change and sounding a warning. So I connected the High Voltage port to the Fuel Valve port on the JetCat ECU, set the threshold voltage from 4v all the way down to 0v and whilst the port voltage shows up on the home screen in the Ext batt panel when the voltage reads ZERO the alarm does not trigger?
Can anyone try this please?

Should have mentioned the port is 5v. If the threshold vontage is set to 6v the 5v supply sets the alarm off!!

Try setting it to 1 volt. IIRC the reading has to be just below the threshold for the alert to sound. Also make sure the alert does not show "inhibit"
