Castle Telemetrie

Castle Creations ESC hat eine Funktion namens Link Live. Dies ermöglicht eine bidirektionale Datenübertragung über das Throttle-Kabel. Um die ESC-Telemetrie zuzulassen, muss diese Funktion zuerst aktiviert werden. Es ist standardmäßig deaktiviert. Nach der Aktivierung ist es erforderlich, dass ein Gerät, welches die Throttle-Daten sendet (Spirit Unit), auch die Unterstützung für diese Übertragung aktiviert hat. In anderen Fällen wird das Throttle-Signal ignoriert.

1 ESC-Konfiguration

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 Telem CC 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

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

4 Spirit Settings

4.1 Throttle Assignment

Once cable is connected, it is absolutely necessary to assign the Throttle (if not assigned yet).

Power up the ESC and start the Spirit Settings as usually.

Go to the General/Channels and assign a channel to the Throttle.

4.2 Telemetry activation

As the last step you have to set the ESC Telemetry in the Spirit Settings software.

Go to the Advanced/Telemetry settings and set the Castle Creations Phoenix & Talon option.

Then close the window and save the settings (CTRL+S). Finally, reconnect battery from the ESC.

From this moment, everything should work.

5 Displaying telemetry data

You can display telemetry data directly in your radio from now.

How to display the data is described in the integration guides:

• JETI Duplex
• FrSky Taranis & Horus
• Graupner HoTT
