I wonder if this is interesting though...under System settings on the CTU’s through device explorer, the “Frames/CRC error RX” number keeps getting bigger and bigger on both CTU’s.
actually this is perfect / as you can see left column is number of frames / right collumn are the error frames wich are 0 ;-).
you might try Facebook support i just answered your PM

is there any chance you share screenshots of your Sensor screen?
i have this suspission that its full with none existing sensors..
please connect all of them , click rescan sensors (refresh) and when it whows both CTU .
go into application and restart (cycle) lua scripts...

The problem is that there is no information now. My next try will be to disconnect the ctu’s from the cb400 and reloading them?

yes sorry about that.. im getting a lot of Calls from all over the world 99% are spoof calls from microsoft engineers warnig me about a error and want my details.
so i kinda let it ring when i see a phone number outside EU.
i didnt get your email.
however i did received your |Friend request and pm on facebook. and answered it..
you can always whatsapp me : +31454059000 its a business whatsapp account

As I live and breathe. And now, have a beer.

Sandor, the “old” file of “ctutwin” is the LUA file that works.

I thought I was crazy. I mean, I likely am. My psychiatrist tells me I’m crazy, but I could not get that damn LUA to work no matter what I did.

Until I just tried that old ctu twin Lua file you sent me. And then, it was like a seat at Prez Putin’s table, the shangrila as it were!

will replace it on line.
sorry for this , but the twin is not used a lot .

Yes, that is one cool feature. I was hoping I could get it to work!!

Now I wonder why the “new” Lua app doesn’t work for me?

Other folks are using the new Lua with their twins, right?

Actually I’m using the old one as well......I never ever update my TX, RX or anything else during the flying season...unless there’s a major flaw in the software...simply because Jeti has been a mature system for a while now.....unlike we I first got my first DC-16.....

I do get warning when I look into the CTU, but none of the changes do anything more then I’m using.

Ok, I'm trying to setup a CTU and I'm having problems. I can select the CTU in device explorer, set the ECU type to Kingtech G2/G3, fuel capacity, etc, etc.. That all works just fine. The problem is I get no valid telemetry values displayed on the transmitter. Status reads a fixed value and doesn't change based on the turbine being armed, etc, ECU bat Voltage reads 0,etc. No useful information is displayed. I thought I remembered thre was an issue when using a Jeti Assist receiver, and since I'm using a REX12A Assist I decided to temporarily replace it with an R3 and with the R3, everything works perfectly. I noticed the manual says you need a special firmware in the CTU when using an Assist but I can't find that firmware but I did find a post on RCU saying that was no longer an issue with the latest Assist firmware. The problem is, I AM using the latest Assist firmware (V1.12) and it still doesn't work with the Assist. I have port E1 configured for EX Bus (not input / standby receiver or any of that nonsense) and it shows up in device explorer and I can talk to it there just fine, but there is no telemetry...What gives? Any suggestions ?

Wayne try this.....unconnected the CTU from the ECU and power the RX once it’s online connect the CTU back into the GSU port....

I was the first one to used the assist and I had to did this, and I advised them they made one that worked...

Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestion I did try that and unfortunately it didn't fix it.. However I noticed that the CTU firmware was version V0.97 so I updated it to V1.0 that is on Digitechs website and it's working now without any other changes.. Not sure if V1.0 has something for the Assist receivers in it or what but as long as it works properly, I don't really care.. Just glad it seems to be working now..
Thanks again for the suggestion,,

Wayne

I taught they fix it...with assist it was a timeout took too for the CTU to come alive....signal was timeout..

Glad it work, great piece of kit..

Carsten,
Will the CTUs work the new Xicoy X-45, X-90, and X120 turbines for telemetry and fuel used? In the photos of the X-45 Light adaptor it looks like a standard servo plug goes into the data port. Is there any special adaptor needed?
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
not sure! It all depends on if the telemetry protocol has been changed on the ECU (which very well could be). The Xicoy adapters (so far) connects to the 3 pin ("servo type connector") on the CTU. If anyone tries this, I would very much like to hear the result. I do not unfortunately. have one of the new ECU's

of what i heard is that the designer changes firmware more often then his underwear.
i guess they want to make sure , you can,t use a CTU with a Xicoy.
only thing we can do is get a newer ecu and see what changed again.
sorry about this.

My experience is that Xicoy ECU with green MPX connections (older fw) work perfectly... the new Xicoy ECU with yellow XT connectors (new fiw) will not work

Looks like the only way now is to use the Xicoy telemetry module for Jeti. It will give the basics for starting and fuel remaining during flight. Just can't use the cool Lua display for the CTU. Hopefully Digitech can get an update soon for the new Xicoy turbines.

Yes, sorry about that Gary! If and when I get the info, I will gladly implement it in the CTU for sure!

Gary,

I've been working on a LUA app to display all the important Xicoy ECU data in a simple 2-line box. It works for any number of Xicoy ECU telemetry adaptors and can automatically display either a single or twin engine set-up.

I've been flying with my Fuel Remaining LUA script for years and I have combined it with the ECU status into one app. Fuel remaining provides multiple selectable audio alarms and displays in actual units (Floz or Ml), rather than % which I find much more intuitive.








All I'm waiting for to finish this is the de-coder file from Gaspar on what each of the ECU Status numbers mean. I've worked a few of them out. The Xicoy.jsn file provided with the CTU does not provide the correct decode, at least for the current XT30 connector style ECUs that came with my Merlin 100 motors this week.


I have a couple of older telemetry adaptors and they do not transmit ECU Status, but my 2 new ones are labeled as 'Telemetry 6' and they do provide it. Gaspar says that they can be updated to the latest version. All the remaining info apart from the status message still works with older telemetry adaptors.


It's not as glitzy as the CTU displays, but as you only look at the display when you are on the ground, this fits my needs. I can still have flight timer and antenna/ signal quality displayed at the same time without changing pages.

Nice Paul! I wanted to try an X-45 in one of my foamy conversions and was wanting to use the CTU as I do with the K-45. I will just have to wait for aaU update.

No. For that to work, I need to know how the format of data from the ECU is.
(would be nice if Gaspar would reveal that )
