Castle Telemetry

Castle Creations ESCs support feature that is called Link Live. This allows bi-directional data transmission over the Throttle cable. To allow the ESC telemetry, it is necessary to enable this feature first. It is disabled by default. Once enabled, it is required that a device which is sending Throttle data (Spirit unit) has enabled support for this tranmission too. In other case Throttle signal will be ignored.

1 ESC configuration

With usage of the Castle Link interface, please start the Castle Link software to open the configuration settings of your ESC. There you have to enable Link-Live feature.

2 Telemetry Cable

To allow the telemetry data transmission special cable is required. This cable is available in our Eshop.

For Experts: Alternatively you can modify your current Throttle cable by adding 10kOhm resistor between white (signal) and red (+) wires. In this case the Telemetry cable is not required.

3 Interfacing

Please follow the steps.

Connect the Telemetry cable to the AUX(1) port in the unit, where you normally connect the Throttle cable of the ESC. To the end of the cable, connect your ESC.
