D4FR telemetry mod

[Crucial]

I just finished modding my D4FR rx to output the lipo battery voltage instead of reporting the rx voltage. All credit has to go to Kilrah. I copied his mod.

The mod is quite simple really. You have to cut a track on the circuit board and then solder a single wire to the rx. This wire then connects to the pos+ line of your battery. The built in divider is 1:4 so you can measure battery voltage up to 13.2V and this is what you set your A1 telemetry reading to.

Here are 2 pics showing where to cut the track and solder the wire.

Please NOTE: D4FR is now been suspended and no longer accept orders.

Also, we have lunched our new MTC-F: DHT-U Module Trainer Connection for Futaba.

Save your time from soldering.

that wont stop us soldering , I have 4 of those D4FR might end up soldering then rather than buying a new one just yet

Yep, and I'll keep my D4FRs too for the tiny things are they're smaller than the new D4RIIs.
Don't talk of VD5M, even if they look good on paper something with <150m range simply is unuseable.

Well.. they are really more for the 'indoor' flyers

I think I'll stick with Spektrum for the tiny things - Their "parkflyer" RX that's used in the sbach and other UMX thingies didn't give me a single glitch at 700m
