Kontronik JIVE

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.

Please note that this is not an official telemetry connection and the data may be inaccurate or not available at all. This depends heavily on the firmware of the ESC which we can't influence.

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]!

Connect the control wire (MASTER port) of your KONTRONIK® ESC to port [IO1]. If needed you can connect the additional power output (SLAVE port) to the [SYS] port of MICROBEAST ULTRA.

Please be very careful when connecting your ESC with MICROBEAST ULTRA. The voltage pins of [IO2] mustn't be connected with the debug port of your JIVE 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 ULTRA or your ESC if not following these instructions properly!
