Интеграция Hott
Начиная с версии 2.3 Spirit полностью поддерживает интеграцию с передатчиками Graupner HoTT. Это значит, что Spirit полностью можно настроить с передатчика, без ПК.
Интеграция будет работать со всеми приемниками и передатчиками HoTT, кроме MZ-4 и MZ-8.

1 Подключение.
Для работы интеграции потребуется подсоединение дополнительного кабеля. Этот кабель будет соединять телеметрийный порт приемника и порт SYS Spirit. Таким образом у нас будет два соединения приемника с модулем:
- Передача каналов управления (PWM, PPM or SUMD)
- Данные для интеграции и телеметрия.
Воспользуйтесь кабелем интеграции HoTT из нашего магазина. Подсоедините его следующим образом:
- Черным серворазъем должен быть подключен в приемник в порт телеметрии с надписью "Т"
- Красный серворазъем должен быть подключен в в порт SYS
Очень важно соблюдать осторожность при подключении!
Если подключить неправильно, это может серьезно повредить модуль. Красный серворазъем со средним пином всегда должен быть подключен к модулю. Никогда не используйте другие кабели для этого подключения!
Servo connector in the Graupner Hott receivers is connected so that the signal wire is at the bottom.
2 Receiver configuration
Make sure that your Receiver has enabled Telemetry output. This port is deactivated in the Factory defaults.
In your transmitter, go to the Function (F)/Telemetry/Setting & Data View where you have to change option SENSOR at CHx to YES.
To enter the Menu you have to enter Function (F)/Telemetry/Setting & Data View. The unit is emulating General Air Module sensor by default. So in the Menu you have to see, that the GENE (General) is active. Then you have to press the GENE (General) button (MZ series) to switch to this sensor type - transmitter will start to listen responses from the Spirit unit. If you are using HoTT MX series transmitter, you have to change sensor type with the arrows on the left side to General.
Then use the ENT button (MZ series) or right arrow on the right side (MX series) to reach the SPIRIT SYSTEM page.
4 Sensor Emulation
In case that you are already using General Air Module module, you can change it to another in the integration menu. In the Advanced/Expert settings/HoTT Sensor you can change the module emulation.
Available types are:
- GAM - General Air Module
- EAM - Electric Air Module
5 Telemetry data
With this connection the Spirit will not only offer the Integration, but also a various telemetry data. These data can be displayed on your main screen and even logged during flight.
With the Spirit firmware 2.4 you are able to view:
- RPM [RPM] - Current RPM from the Governor.
- Fuel [%] - Vibration level (Reported as Fuel and ALT in the GAM sensor)
- BAT1 [V] - Main Battery Voltage
- Current [A] - Main Battery Current
- Capacity [mAh] - Main Battery Consumed Capacity
- BAT2 [V] - BEC Voltage
- T1 [°C] - ESC Temperature
To view the values you only have to switch Telemetry data source to General.
6 Usage
Whenever you want to configure a parameter, go to the Function (F)/Telemetry/Setting & Data View, select emulated sensor and move to the SPIRIT SYSTEM page. There the Menu Layout is nearly identical with the PC software to have easy navigation.
It is working in the same way as when the PC software is connected. This mean that when HoTT integration menu is opened, you can change even the basic parameters that could affect the helicopter significantly.
When using the Bank Switching or Real-Time tuning features the menu will take full control over it. The unit will not react to a Switch position changes. For the Bank Switching there is a parameter Bank where you can switch between banks. Before switching save the settings.
Enjoy the integration!
