Integration



Features
Settings directly in the transmitter
Configuration of the unit
No need for computer
Everything quickly accessible

Requirements
OpenTX 2.2 with Lua support
Receiver with S.Port
Integration cable for S.Port




1 WIRING

To enable the Integration, you have to only connect your receiver and unit according to the following scheme. Please note, that to make this possible, you will need special cable that is available in our eshop.

Longer lead of the cable unit - SYS port
Shorter lead of the cable receiver - S.Port

The integration cable is used for bi­directional data transmission between unit and receiver, respectively transmitter. This include telemetry data and possibility to configure all parameters of the unit, directly from your transmitter.

It is completely separated from basic receiver part that is transmitting the channel data. Thus your existing connection with receiver can be untouched. It can work with PWM, PPM and S­Bus connection types.

Info.png For receiver that has a Molex connector for the S.Port (e.g. X4R, X4R­SB, XSR), please use provided connector and pins so that you can easily connect it to the servo connector.

Info.png S.Port connection alone will not work – it is used only for configuration. Channel data must be transmitted by a conventional protocols such as PWM, PPM or S­Bus.

2 INSTALLATION

Configuration of the unit is accessible throught Lua scripts. These scripts are tailored by Spirit System to allow full integration with the unit. With this integration you can access all the menus and configure any parameter whenever you wish.

To make it work, you have to download and copy the scripts from our web.

For Heli
FrSky Taranis X9D/X9D+/X9E: http://www.spirit-system.com/dl/opentx/Spirit-2.2.0-Taranis.zip
FrSky Horus: http://www.spirit-system.com/dl/opentx/Spirit-2.2.0-Horus.zip

For Spirit Aero
FrSky Taranis X9D/X9D+/X9E: http://www.spirit-system.com/dl/opentx/Spirit-Aero-1.0.0-Taranis.zip
FrSky Horus: http://www.spirit-system.com/dl/opentx/Spirit-Aero-1.0.0-Horus.zip


Then unzip the file and copy the „Spirit-­2.2.0“ directory to SD Card of your transmitter.

3 HOW TO OPEN THE MENU

You can access the integration menu whenever you want to configure the unit. When it is opened, it behave similarly as when you start the PC software. This mean that for example Bank Switching will be performed in the menu, not with assigned switch. When script is closed, everything returns to the flight regime.
