jetibox mini
Hello
have anyone used this Jetibox mini??
I have a Futaba rx and connect it to the jetibox to get readout on the signal...but it only says that it waiting for input, I have a <font size="2">R7008SB rx (hv and sbus), I have been able to activate the esc but it dont seems that I get full power...or even better does some know what the signal width on the futaba is, top and bottom???
It seems that I have manage to connect to the esc and have "control" over that ...I have manage to change the direction off rotation.
And yes the throtel channel is ok ..checked with a servo so its working.
</font></p>

thanks..maybe I can use a another reciver to set it up, the signal should be the same?

Yes, the receiver doesn't change the pulse widths sent by the transmitter. The high rate receivers just send the pulses to the servos more often and the JetiBox can't handle the higher rate.

Just change the RX to normal mode. You can then plug the jeti box directly into the RX throttle channel and measure the high, low signal. You then pug into the ESC and set the high low of the ESC the same as the RX. You then change the RX to HS mode.
Oops, double transmission!!

RE: jetibox mini
Yes at any rate. I am not sure why you ask at low rate only. Something important, in order to get any programing in your ESC you need to power the minibx with a separate rx battery using the cable in the back of the minibox. The motor power battery also needs to be conected to the ESC.
The ESC goes to the front of the minibox. Make sure that polarity is correct since plug goes inbany direction.

RE: jetibox mini
last time I used a jeti box was a box marked with "Master" not sure if that is the same as the "normal" box, then I used the 6008 (think it was that) and a 14mz (2,4) and got read out on the rx.
I have now tried every rx I have and nothing so it seems you guys is rigth ..the Jeti mini can not get readout from RX.
vbortone I know the setup procedure off the esc but I just couldnt get any rx reading!

RE: jetibox mini
Just got a new Mezon 95 and minibox.Benched for the first time today and my readings are way off my old ice 100.I used to get 90 amps peak on the same setup.The Mezon only shows 55 amps@ full throttle.I checked all the settings with the minibox hooked up and i think everythings correct.Motrofly 5320, TP5000 8s,20x13 prop.

RE: jetibox mini
A few months ago my JetiBox quit working. I really missed it for measuring the signal's pulse width out of the receiver when setting up a system. I decided I needed to replace it and then I figured I might as well get the Jetibox mini which is a newer design and could handle the Mezon ESCs if I ever got one. The folks at Esprit assured me it had all of the functionality of the original JetiBox so I ordered one when I preordered a DS-16 transmitter. Then I started reading the manual on the DS-16 and found it had an emulation of the JetiBox so I canceled the JetiBox mini. Sounds like that was a good idea if the mini won't measure pulse width.
Now my question is, do the Jeti Duplex transmitter's emulation of the JetiBox have the capability to measure pulse width? I've asked Esprit but have not got a response. Maybe Peter+ can answer my question. Thanks.

RE: jetibox mini
Updated firmware-previous 55 amp now shows 80.Went for a test flight and peak amps shows 105.So updating did the trick.

RE: jetibox mini
Consumtion readings are way off for some reason.Last flight from the minibox showed 2315 mah.I just put back in 4000mah.
I will check the A with a normal meter to see .</p>

RE: jetibox mini
I think I found the RX readout on the mini box, if you try on acutual values , with the esc armed and the rx on.
I didnt payed it much attention as my esc are set up at this time.
