After Saving the settings you can repower the Spirit unit and from then ESC Integration is ready to use.

4 Usage

For accessing ESC parameters you have to enter Model - ESC - ESC Setup page. This page is available only if ESC Integration is really working. This mean ESC Setup might not work because of:

  • Wrong Wiring
  • Wrong (old) ESC firmware
  • Wrong telemetry protocol configured in the ESC.

If you can see no ESC telemetry values then this integration will not work.
