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.

	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 />		MICROBEAST PLUS allows to use telemetry from a Spektrum® AVIAN ESC with SMART battery feature in combination with any receiver type.

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