be sure the gear ratio is entered properly on the CC GRAPH. not on the page where you tell it what HS to fly at, but when you use the graph to look at amp draw and power out and all, that one. I have seen the 2 be different at times. they are supposed to be linked together, but I have seen them not transfer before.
I think he is referring to the RPM display on the telemetry of the radio. I think I got mine setup, won't be able to test today. But seems to work on the bench.

right. but like the graph gets reads it and does the math, the CC telemetry link would be pulling from the same place in the ESC, right? or am I thinking about this wrong?
The Graph is a PC function, that second setting isn't transmitted to the ESC. Which is why you have to change the gearing from one heli to another in the graph program.

ahh, got ya. showing my great programming skills here aren't I! LOL
You're pretty close to the issue though, as with the graph on the PC, the TX needs to know the gearing to properly read RPM. I haven't gotten that far in mine yet. Just got the sensors registered. I'll report back details, once I sort them out :)

There seems to be a math error in the 18sz. It's multiplying motor rpm by the gear ratio instead of dividing! I hope they fix it soon. I'm not sure how that slid by the development team.
What if you put in a different ratio, meaning if your gearing is 10:1, put the inverse in, 1:10. I don't have that radio so I don't know how you can input a ratio or gearing. Just something I thought of.

Nice. I sent Nick a FB message yesterday but he hasn't hit me back yet.
his messages are turned off on FB I think. send him a text or an email.

How did the testing go ? You have the 18mz?
Thanks,

I hate to admit it, I have two of these and an 18sz and MZ, I haven't had time to play with it too much. They are mounted (1 on the 766 and 1 on the E5) but that's about it.
Clint did tell me you can manipulate the Pole count to get the accurate number to read. As far as a set fix, not sure yet. No word back from Futaba. The TLO is sending the motor pulses, it's on the TX to do the math.

A manual on the Futaba rpm sensor... Lol... I however look it over for the what if... Very bottom right of the last page.. Think that would work with the castle telem link?

Steve and Clint reported it to Futaba directly after Huntsville. Nick knows now too, thanks Danny. We just need to wait for Futaba to patch it.
So I just left rpm off my display for now.

Chris, I would expect this is a product of your motor rpm and gear ratio. What is your gear ratio, and what does telemetry say your motor RPM is at your target head speed (if you set the gear ratio to 1)? Mine was not a factor of 100. My target head speed is 2350 and telemetry gave me 173723. :)
Traded emails with Nick, and that's right, it's a product of the gear ratio/pole count. In my case it just happens to be pretty close to x100.
The good news is Nick says they have identified the issue and he is testing the new firmware now. Hopefully it will be released soon!
