			= Notes for NANOBEAST =
			'''NANOBEAST''' doesn't support telemetry sensors at this moment. Since firmware v5.10.x yon can only use the telemetry backlink at SYS port in combination with ELRS/CRSF, JETI EXBus or Spektrum SRXL2 receivers in order to remotely setup your NANOBEAST directly from the radio. See [[Manuals:BXFbl:Setupmenu_intro:EDGETX/en\|EDGETX Lua Script section]] for further information.<br />
			<br />
			The parameters shown below won't be accessible on NANOBEAST. The SYS port will automatically be set to bi-directional telemetry communication during receiver type scan! If no RC signal arrives within 5 seconds of power-up (e.g. because the transmitter is switched off), the SYS port automatically falls back to normal operation.<br />

	'''Note on CRSF/ELRS telemetry:''' the SYS port is only used for CRSF telemetry if the BEASTX system detects an ELRS receiver at power-up. If no RC signal arrives within 5 seconds of power-up (e.g. because the transmitter is switched off), the SYS port automatically falls back to normal operation. This lets you connect via the StudioX Flow app over USB2SYS/BLE2SYS without having to reset menu point L manually~~.<br />~~		{{QUOTE\|'''Note on CRSF/ELRS telemetry:''' the SYS port is only used for CRSF telemetry if the BEASTX system detects an ELRS receiver at power-up.

	* 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:BXFbl:Governormenu_E/en\|GOVERNOR MENU E]] and [[Manuals:BXFbl:Governormenu_E/en\|GOVERNOR MENU F]] for more details.		* In GOVERNOR MENU you can use the '''signal divider''' and '''gear ratio''' adjustment to calculate the rotor head speed from the incoming motor speed.

	* Some ESC do not calculate the current consumption (Hobbywing®, Kontronik® Jive). Here your BEASTX system 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 />		* Some ESC do not calculate the current consumption (Hobbywing®, Kontronik® Jive).

	In the following we will only mention connections to MICROBEAST PLUS and MICROBEAST PLUS / ULTRA. Due to the fact, that there are not much micro-sized ESCs available with telemetry output, we won't go into detail here as it's rarely needed. Basically you can also use telemetry with NANOBEAST if you've installed a firmware with telemetry support on that device. Here the telemetry signal will be connected to the [SAT] port in any configuration. Setup procedure is similar to MICROBEAST PLUS / ULTRA.
