Futaba Telemetry
From version 2.4.3 you can utilize full support of the Futaba Telemetry!
This mean you can see all telemetry variables sent by Spirit units with S.BUS2 (FASSTest receiver) in real-time.
1 Requirements
To make it work you will need:
- Futaba transmitter: 14SG, 18MZ or 18SZ
- FASSTest receiver: R7003SB, R7006SB, R7008SB, R7014SB or R7018SB.
- FrSky Integration cable available in our stores (with a small modification).
- Spirit firmware: 2.4.3.
2 Wiring
The FrSky Integration cable is able to transfer everything including channel data and telemetry. This mean that you will not need to connect anything else except this cable.
Spirit
If S-BUS Adapter is used with Spirit, then it will be replaced by the FrSky Integration cable.
Spirit Pro & uSpirit
- At the receiver side - shorter end of the FrSky integraction cable must be connected to the SBUS2 port.
- At the unit side - longer end must be connected to the RUD and ELE/PIT/AIL ports according the photo.
- Red wire should be connected with the AIL pin.
3 Transmitter preparation
3.1 Configuration
Power up the transmitter and in the Main menu enter the Sensor page.
Configure:

- 2: Text Gen
At this point your transmitter is ready. You can return to the main screen.
4 Telemetry data
In order to display Telemetry data, move the roller while on the Main screen until you will see ESC Status.
If you can't see the ESC Status, please make sure you have performed necessary configuration.
List of available Telemetry variables:
- RPM [Head RPM] - RPM provided by RPM sensor or ESC.
- Volts [V] - ESC Telemetry | Main Battery voltage
- Motor [A] - ESC Telemetry | Main Battery current
- Throttle [%] - Throttle percentage sent to the ESC.
- Output [%] - (Vibration level 0 - 10% is normal level)
- FET Temp [°C] - ESC Telemetry | FET temperature
- BEC [C] - ESC Telemetry | Main Battery consumed capacity (1234mAh = 123.4C)
- BEC [V] - ESC Telemetry | BEC Voltage
