A smart lipo is only smart for a charger cause it has the center wire. There's no smart for plugging in Avian esc cause it doesn't have the center wire. That is why any lipo will work and get flight pack telemetry

Ha! You're right! I hadn't even noticed there was no center wire on the ESC. Gonna pin your comment, thanks for the correction Flyer Mikey!

A bit more info on the "smart" ESC wire. I'm using an Avian Lite ESC. The non "lite" Avian ESCs do have the center wire so will collect additional battery data. Without the smart wire, any battery will provide pack volts but for cell voltage all the telemetry does is divide the total volts by the number of cells so it won't tell you if you have a low cell. You need a non lite esc for that.

honestly, EdgeTX on one of these radios is incredible. Love it. Keep up the good content mate !

Thank you, Shane. Gonna go through and watch all your videos because I am probably gonna get rid of my Spektrum DX6e transmitter and get a RadioMater TX16S II. Your videos are very helpful.

You don't need a smart lipo . I'm using a dumb lipo and can get flight voltage in total and for each cell on my Zorro using a Avian esc

Another question, is there a way to have it read out lipo voltage like 11.47 volts , cause all I get is like 11.5 volts

Default only reads down to one decimal place. I'll experiment and see if I can find a way to go down 2 or more decimals.

I am using a Ar631 and a bec and batteries that are not Smart avian. So i do not get diretly the EVIN in the telemetry, but i get a A2 , with 4.98V (using a 3S battery pac). Is this value A2 presenten in the telemetry aome how related ro tye battery pack? my guess is yes because this rx is telemetry capable but only with smart esc bec, but i assume that if connected to a non- smar esc bec may still read battery but in a different way. I am incorrect and i can not get the battery pack from this telemetry A2 value? tks

Don't need a Spektrum smart battery to get the pack voltage, you must have the Avian ESC. I think I said you did in the video, but later determined it works with any battery, just needs to be the Avian smart ESC. A2 is the receiver voltage, not main battery or "flight pack" voltage.

@@shanesdiy ok , but A2 is not my receiver voltage , i am using a u2s battery so it should be greater that 7.3 volts that is why i thought it was coming from the flight pack. Thanks for your response!!!

How to get the radio to stop saying low battery once you land and radio on? My airplane is below voltage after landing and I’ve unplugged it and it’s still saying low battery. Thanks

After this video I tweaked mine a bit. The logical switch (L25 in the video) now has a 15 second delay vs 3 sec. in the video, this reduces false alarms. To get the call out to stop when done flying, add your throttle enable switch to the "AND switch" in the logical switch (L25 in the video). I use SH for throttle cut, for example, so my "AND switch = SH↑". This way when I activate throttle cut by switching SH↓ the voltage monitor L25 deactivates and no more callouts. Also, in the special function (SF35 in the video) I changed the repeat to 20 seconds so it doesn't do it quite as often.
