Blade 120 S2 Question

[Haleymon]

I just ordered Blade 120 S2 BNF (haven’t received it yet). I plan to bind it to my DX 9

My question is the sales literature states that the S2 has voltage telemetry with compatible transmitters. They don’t however give any information on compatible transmitters. The DX 9 has the ability to do telemetry So I’m assuming it’s compatible does anybody know if this is correct?

I also downloaded the manual it gives the control settings for a DX 9 but it gives no information anywhere of how to set up telemetry on any radio.

Does anyone know the answers to these questions

TIA
Dave

Yes it will do the telemetry on the DX9. I suggest upgrading the firmware to version 2.05 if you haven't done an update recently.

BrokeDad,


Thanks for the reply!!!



My FW is at 2.07


Thanks

There is a telemetry menu in the Airware where you can first configure the sensors (like RxV, flight pack voltage monitor)

and

if you want to place any vibration/tone alarm on FlightLog: Holds > 0, FrameLosses >40

Isn't there an "auto configure" button in newer transmitters?

Once telemetry is setup (and bound to the heli) there is a dedicated page where you can switch to (I think it was with the scroll wheel?).

I think this is a nice move that they now allow you to also monitor 1s lipos; make sure not to fly it completely down below 3,5V (under load) so when you unplug the lipo voltage immediately is 3,7xV after flight (not below 3,65-3,69V).

If you enter 3,6xV in the flight pack menu as a warning ("under load") the lipo will rest back at ~3,85-3,9xV which is a bit too high.

Well, better too high than too low.
You might want to dynamically adjust it for your first 3-5 lipos (3,5V vs 3,60 vs 3,65V) to see where you are after flight and 1-2 hours laters.

Give them some time (break in period) to "completely get to life" and don't fly them down to 3,2-3,3V, especially not in the beginning (I would say better never).
So make sure to only charge them with 0,5-1C in the beginning.
