Intégration HoTT
From version 2.3 the Spirit units support full integration with the Graupner HoTT transmitters. This mean that you can configure the Spirit units completely from your radio without need of a computer.
The integration can work with all HoTT receivers and radios except MZ-4 and MZ-8.
Contents
1 Câblage
To allow the integration you have to connect additional cable to your current setup. This cable will connect the Telemetry port of the receiver with the SYS port of the unit. So there should be two connections between unit and receiver for:
- Channel transmission (PWM, PPM or SUMD)
- Telemetry and Integration data
Use the Hott Integration cable available in our eshop. Connect it according the following steps:
- End with black servo connector should be connected to the receiver on the Telemetry port marked with T label.
- End with red servo connector should be connected to the SYS port.
C'est très important de porter attention durant la connexion!
Si l'unité est mal connecté, cela va l'endommager et vous ne serez plus en mesure de l'utiliser. Le câble qui a le fil rouge est au centre doit toujours être connecté a l'unité. Ne jamais utiliser un autre câble pour établir la connexion!
Servo connector in the Graupner Hott receivers is connected so that the signal wire is at the bottom.
2 Configuration du receveur
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 Données de télémétrie
Avec cette connexion, le Spirit offrira non seulement l'Intégration, mais aussi les diverses données de télémétrie. Ces données peuvent être affichées sur l'écran principal et peuvent même être enregistrées durant le vol.
Avec le firmware 2.4 du Spirit firmware 2.4 vous pouvez voir:
- RPM [RPM] - La vitesse de rotation actuelle Governor.
- Fuel [%] - Le taux de vibration du modèle (enregistré dans la variable Fuel)
- BAT1 [V] - Voltage de la batterie principale Voltage
- Current [A] - Courant dans la batterie principale
- Capacity [mAh] - Capacité consommée dans la batterie principale
- BAT2 [V] - Voltage du BEC Voltage (x10) - mettre le Ratio à 25.5
- T1 [°C] - Température de l'ESC
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.
Cela fonctionne de la même manière que lorsque le logiciel PC est connecté. Cela signifie que lorsque le menu d'intégration est ouvert, vous pouvez même changer les paramètres de base qui peuvent affecter l'hélicoptère de manière importante.
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!
