Is there no RPM telemetry with this ESC? I get seemingly everything else, Vibes, Temp, Capacity usage, Current, but no RPM display. It's there just not showing any numbers when I spool up. White wire is in the Pit slot.

Am I missing something?

So I checked the Spirit ESC page and it doesn't show RPM Telem as an option, so do I need to use an RPM sensor?

Doesn't seem right to me but maybe, I got the Castle live link enabled in the ESC would that not provide RPM telemetry too?

Default Solved!

Ok, so I've gotten it sorted out, when I enabled link live I assumed that all the telemetry values would come from the signal wire on the main ESC connection to FBL and had disabled the white Aux wire. I re-enabled that to RPM out and that value is now shown in the TX.

Hi,

try to unplug wire from the PIT pin.
If it is connected, you will get RPM readings from this pin (with or without ESC telemetry enabled).
If disconnected you will get data directly from the ESC telemetry.

I tried it with the pin out but got nothing for RPM until I enabled the white Aux wire to RPM out, otherwise nothing.

Are you saying keep the white wire enabled but disconnected to get RPM info?

I just re-verified that if I remove the wire from the pit pin and spool up, I get no RPM value.
