RX Voltage with telemetry

Post by lebenj »

Hello,

i'm trying to get the RX voltage of my D4RII receptor in my T9X (open 9X) and i must do something wrong.

the telemetry looks working as i can get RSSI on screen, and A2 voltage with the FBVS-01 voltage sensor.

But now i want to get the RX voltage with a 1S lipo plugged on the RX.
so i started making tries with a stabilized voltage supply at 5V
On screen, if i set the range of A1 to get the value to 5V, then is i set down the voltage supply to 4V, the A1 value is only at around 4,5V

actually i'm not at home to make more tests, but a saw that normaly the range must be set a 13,2V to get a correct voltage value, i'm not really sure about the range i put yesterday night, but remember it was 13V or so....

if someone can help me...

regards

That receiver, the D4R-II has an internal voltage divider on A1. the ratio is 4:1, so the range has to be set to 13.2V

The manual says it will work down to 3.5 volts, but if it is not working below 5V then, yes, it is probably faulty.
