A CB400 would be perfect for the A10 I'm sure somebody who speak fluent PowerBox....will help....I don't

Also a general note that Digitech sells the SB-EXP2+2 device which will give you 2 EX Bus ports (and two servo outputs) from one single EX Bus (Fast & Curious - SB-EXP2+2 2 EX Ports + 2 Servo channel for Jeti)
This will allow you to connect 2 CTU to the SB-EXP2+2 which in turn is then connected to 1 single EX Bus port on the receiver.

I had one working fine with my Hawk that’s using a CB200, but my A10 has the powerbox royal and 2 R3s.
Have you set the port on the R3 to be telemetry through device explorer?

I think that’s the problem. I am not able to configure the telemetry port, I’m not sure if thus is related to the fact that the receiver is set to UDI. I have the powerbox telemtry connected to the other R3 and it works fine. I’m not sure these units will work with my setup. Guess I should have been more clear on my set up before I bought 3 of these. I have also sent a message to Digitech through their site several days ago and still no response.

I don’t think you will be able to use the R3 in this way. The CTU needs to be connected to EX bus. The R3, when set to UDI (which it putouts on port 3) sets its EXT port for telemetry input which is not the same as EX bus.

A REX type receiver is what you need.
Give me a call. I’m certain we can get you set up and working.

I got those 3 CTU’s from him....big expense to move to a 24 to get Telemetry...so I understand his position, since I’m already using the CTU, I can use these on future projects....

What version of the CTU firmware are you running ? And do you have the latest CTU.bin file in the transmitter ?
(Both needs to be version 0.92)

Ahh, but the state number is important in order to figure out whats going on. Can you please check the number again ?
I assume you are using the adapter between the CTU and the jetcentral ECU?

And are there any numbers for RPM, ECU voltage etc etc ?

the eng is just sitting in case I see temp and rpm read 0, ecu reads voltage. This display is on the dashboard. But the state reads numbers. I using ds24 and ds16 both same results, ds16 no dashboard. R u in the USA, if so 773.507.8534

Please take a picture of the setup, do you have the adapter board connected between the ECU and the CTU ?

Thats quite a difference. The code 2366 is "Stop error" from the ECU. I assume the Blue LED is flashing on the CTU ?

The different code from the ECU (JetCentral):

Manual Cooling // State = 40 (2344)
Auto Cooling // State = 41 (2345)
Igniter heating // State = 51 (2355)
Ignition // State = 52 (2356)
Preheat // State = 53 (2357)
Switchover // State = 54 (2358)
To Idle // State = 55 (2359)
Running // State = 56 (2360)
Stop Error // State = 62 (2366)
Stop // State = 10 (2314)

That fixed it, the letters script is white awhiwould not show up on the white box. New problem the eng will not shut down with trim low when the telemetry line is connected but works fine when disconnected. Hmm

will you be adding more codes from the jet Central ECU such as trim up trim down maybe engine flameout things like that

I had the same thing when I started with the CTU.....Digitech told me about this.....light background only..

There’s alarms for all that stuff....not sure one need to read about a flame out...an announcement is much better and exist already.....not sure about the the low trim works fine with KingTech motor.
