Spektrum's JetCat Telemetry Interface
#1
Thread Starter

I have been using telemetry in my giants for a couple years. When I built the jet, I kind of felt naked w/o it. But, I want to keep things simple on the first jet.
Today, I had the turbine set up on the bench and I decided to plug in the TM-1000 and the new Spektrum JetCat Telemetry Interface. After rebinding and then doing a relearn, I fired up the jet. Once it was started, the JetCat Telemetry screen showed all the pertinent info (i.e. RPM, Operational Status, pump voltage, Battery voltage, etc. etc.). I set up an alarm on the Flameout. I also added a voltage tap into the AR 9210 Power Distribution Module ( PowerBox Evolution) and am monitoring servo system voltage. I added an alarm to that also.
The setup was flawless and very easy. All you have to do is move the TM-1000's connection to the Rxer to the data port, plug the Interface into the Tm-1000's X-bus, and then bind in the TM-1000 with the interface attached to the turbine's Interface port. Start the thing up and scroll over to the JetCat Telemetry screen on the transmitter.

That is a question you might want to try running by Andy Kunz on the Spectrum Radio &Transmitter page. If he is not the guy to answer your question, he can probably point you in the right direction. I know I can't answer it with certainty. But, ... Given the telemetry display screen I have seen, I am not sure how a second set of data would display. Also, once you select "JetCat" on the Telemetry setup screen, I am not sure how you could select it again because, your are not offered the option to select it a second time. But, the question is worth asking Andy.

Thank you for the information.
Could you please tell me where i could possibly find the Spectrum page so I can ask Andy.
If in the case it's not possible maybe they can bring it out on an update or on a new device hopefully.

The only thing I haven't figured out with this setup is, when I do a calibration run on my 140rx I have to unplug the telemetry and plug in the Gsu. It would be nice to be able to do it without unplugging the module.

Actually, I think they did a nice job of keeping the sensor install Quick & Dirty. And the Setup of the transmitter is a no brainer.

That makes a very clean setup.
