In case you're using a receiver with telemetry capability, you can change the telemetry parameters at menu points '''L''' and '''M'''. If needed, you can directly skip to these parameters without scanning receiver type and assigning functions at RECEIVER MENU points '''A''' and '''B''' by pushing and holding the button for at least 2 seconds at menu points '''A''' or '''B'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
To select the connected ESC/telemetry data source move the rudder stick repeatedly in one direction until the Status LED lights in the correct color:<br />
'''Telemetry device at [SYS] port'''<br />
At menu point '''L''' you can choose the type of telemetry device connected at [SYS] port. To select the device, move the rudder stick repeatedly in one direction until the Status LED lights in the correct color:<br />

<br />
'''There are some additional settings for telemetry available:'''<br />
* In GOVERNOR MENU you can use the '''signal divider''' and '''gear ratio''' adjustment to calculate the rotor head speed from the incoming motor speed. Most ESCs will send the electrical motor speed on the telemetry channel only, so you must divide the motor speed by the number of magnet pole pairs and by the main gear ratio of your helicopter, in order to display the rotor speed. See [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV52:Governormenu_E/en|GOVERNOR MENU E]] and [[Manuals:MBPlusFblV52:Governormenu_E/en|GOVERNOR MENU F]] for more details.

* Some ESC do not calculate the current consumption (Hobbywing®, Kontronik® Jive). Here MICROBEAST PLUS will do the work and calculate the current consumption using the instant current values. Anyhow, results may vary as speed controllers usually measure the motor current but not the battery current. So we added the parameter '''Capacity correction''' which allows to compensate the offset. I.e. when telemetry shows 3600mAh of current consumption, but in reality you did charge 4000mAh back into your battery after the flight, you can increase the Current correction by 10% to 110 in order to get proper reading the next time. Please note this very special value can only be set by using StudioX!<br />

After receiver scan and function assignment an additional setup screen for telemetry will open, in case you're using a Spektrum® SRXL2 or JETI® EXBUS radio system. If needed, also you can directly get to this screen without changing your basic radio setup by clicking the button "Telemetry" in overview screen of RECEIVER MENU.<br />

Connect the control wire of your Hobbywing® ESC to port [DI1]. Connect the programming port of your Hobbywing® ESC to port [CH5] using a standard servo wire with male servo plugs on each end.<br />

If needed you can connect the yellow wire for measuring the motor speed to the RPM input at MICROBEAST PLUS. The motor speed signal can be used for the internal governor function of MICROBEAST PLUS. For telemetry transmission it is not necessary as the data will be included in the telemtry signal!<br />

{{QUOTE|* Smaller Hobbywing® Platinum models (Platinum 60 and 80) do not measure current. Here displayed current and consumed capacity will stay "0.00". However, you can use the displayed battery voltage to estimate the maximum flight time of the model and to effectively prevent a deep discharge of the battery, i. e. by setting a low voltage alarm in your radio.

* '''Hobbywing® Platinum V3''' ESC don't supply any telemtry output. Anyhow, you can connect the motor speed cable as shown above to MICROBEAST PLUS. Then you can display motor speed/headspeed on your radio at least!}}<br />
* Additionally some ESC do not measure temperature, so Temperature will stay at 0 degrees in your telemetry display. It's no malfunction, there simply is no value available.
* '''Hobbywing® Platinum V3''' ESC don't supply any telemtry output. Anyhow, you can connect the motor speed cable as shown above to MICROBEAST ULTRA. Then you can display motor speed/headspeed on your radio at least!}}<br />

<br />
{{WARNING_QUOTE|Please be very careful when connecting your ESC with MICROBEAST PLUS. The voltage pins of [CH5] mustn't be connected with the telemetry port of your JIVE PRO/KOSMIK ESC. Make sure your wiring looks as shown above and make sure to connect the plugs correctly on each side. Do not interchange the sides of the wire. You can heavily damage your MICROBEAST PLUS or your ESC if not following these instructions properly!}}<br />

==OMP 65A ESC==
Connect the control wire of your OMP ESC to port [DI1]. Connect the pin labeled with "TX" from the ESC to the port [CH5] using a single servo wire with plugs on both sides. Optionaly you can connect the yellow wire for measuring the motor speed to the [RPM] input at MICROBEAST PLUS, so that it is out of the way. For telemetry transmission it is not needed as the data will be included in the telemetry signal!<br />
<br />
Make sure the ESC is sending data with OMP telemetry data protocol. This is the factory setting of the ESC. Do not change the protocol to "SBUS2" or other! MICROBEAST PLUS will convert the data into your radio's protocol as needed.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Spektrum® AVIAN Smart ESC==
MICROBEAST PLUS allows to use telemetry from a Spektrum® AVIAN ESC with SMART battery feature in combination with any receiver type. Anyhow, when using a Spektrum® transmitter you can get full advantage of the Spektrum® SMART programming feature. Using with another type of radio system, you will only get basic telemetry functions (current, voltage, temperature, consumption, pwm).<br />
<br />
Spektrum® AVIAN ESC do not have a separate line for telemetry data. Here motor control and telemetry data is sent bidirectional on the main connection wire. For this we must connect the AVIAN ESC to the [SYS] port of MICROBEAST PLUS, as the other connectors [DI1] and [CH5] can only work in one direction.<br />
<br />
Please note that you must activate the [SYS] port connection at menu point '''L''', not at menu point '''M'''.<br />
