What is Telemetry?

By definition, Telemetry is an automated communications process by which measurements (such as speed, temperature, or battery power) are made and other data collected at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for monitoring. A telemeter is a device used to remotely measure any quantity. It consists of a sensor, a transmission path, and a display, recording, or control device. Telemeters are the physical devices used in telemetry.

Why should I integrate Telemetry into my models?

Telemetry has the potential not only to improve the safety of our models by monitoring battery voltages, ESC temperature, and other critical parameters, but it also creates other opportunities to get even more fun out of flying because you’ve essentially reduced the risks of “unknown” inevitable crashes. Think of the benefits to be had from alarms that will sound to warn you when there's interference about or if your receiver battery is running unexpectedly low.

Exactly how does the Castle Telemetry Link integrate into my models?

First and foremost, we need to review essential compatibility parameters.

Compatible Castle ESC The ESC must have the ability to accept a bi-directional communication protocol that gives it the ability to transmit real-time telemetry feedback. This feature is called Link Live™ and needs to be enabled on compatible ESCs using Castle Link™. Click here to view the Castle ESC Compatibility Chart.
Compatible Spektrum Radio These selected radio’s support bidirectional communication. It is also necessary to utilize a compatible Spektrum Telemetry Module. Click here to view the Spektrum® Radio Compatibility Chart.

Now, let’s see the mechanical integration.

Below is an example of an X-BUS Telemetry Link set-up for Surface, Air and Internal Governor Systems. You can see how the Telemetry Link (about 5.4 inches long) connection is made between the Castle ESC and the Spektrum® X-Bus™ receiver and Telemetry Module/System.

And how about this….there is no requirement for additional Telemetry Sensors for your Spektrum® radio when using the X-BUS Telemetry Link. There are 7 specific data points available* and you can enable/disable to your liking through Castle Link™.
