The BEASTX systems offer the possibility of forwarding telemetry data from telemetry devices to the receiver, so that you can display telemetry data in your radio. Since there are no uniform specifications for telemetry data protocols, the BEASTX system acts as middleware between the different technologies. A large number of different sensor data can be received, which is converted internally into a uniform format and then forwarded and processed specifically for the receiving remote control system. The typical application is transmitting battery data from the speed controler of an electric model (battery voltage, power draw, power consumption, ESC temperature, ...) to the radio. So the pilot gets detailed insights of battery status and knows when it's time to land.<br />

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

Older Kontronik® JIVE controllers come with a 3-pin debug connector that is normally used to program the motor controller by the use of a jumper wire. However, this connection also outputs some basic information about the motor controller and battery, which can be used for telemetry purpose.<br />

To connect MICROBEAST ULTRA with your JIVE ESC you need a special type of wire. As shown below, the telemetry signal pin is the middle pin of the debug connector. The outer pin is common ground. On MICROBEAST ULTRA side you must connect the signal wire to the upper pin of port [IO2] and the common ground to the lowest pin (=minus). '''You mustn't connect anything to the middle pin (=voltage) of port [IO2]!'''<br />

The Kontronik® JIVE PRO/Kosmik controllers comes with a 5-pin connector that is normally used to program the motor controller by the use of a jumper wire. Since firmware version 1.10 (JIVE Pro)/4.12 (KOSMIK) Kontronik® added a generic telemetry data output to this connection. Please make sure your JIVE PRO/KOSMIK is updated to the latest version. On first generation KOSMIK series ESCs the telemetry port is the socket in the middle. On newer KOSMIK (Cool) ESCs you can choose, which port to use by software. Here select the generic Kontronik® telemtry protocol.<br />

To connect MICROBEAST ULTRA with your JIVE PRO/KOSMIK ESC you need a special type of wire. You can get a ready to use solution from Kontronik® - Ordernr. 9703 (TELEMETRY CABLE JR). As shown below, the telemetry signal pin is the middle pin of the 5-pin connector. The most inner pin is common ground on JIVE Pro ESCs. On KOSMIK the pin next to the "LED side" is common ground. It is highly recommended to use a multimeter and check polarity before connecting your ESC to MICROBEAST ULTRA. Note that the pin on the opposite side carries +5V. Do not connect anything here!<br />

MICROBEAST ULTRA allows to use telemtry 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 />

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 ULTRA, as the other connectors [IO1] and [IO2] can only work in one direction.<br />
