Hi,

I purchased the module and 7 channel rx for my Optic 6. In Toledo I was told I could use telemetry in some fashion if I connected to the PC (obviously you cannot get any telemetry data on the optic screen). So, my question is this:

If I buy the HPP 22 what will I be able to download to my pc? Is there telemetry data stored for a certain number of flights, or a particular time or what?

Just wondering if buying the HPP22 is a good idea or not. I understand that I could update firmware on the rx (no updates yet though) and perhaps update module software (dont know if that has been updated), but just wondered what telemetry data I might get.

Thanks in advance.
Gene

"The low battery warning is built in and all other Hitec telemetry goodies are available, but only through a PC with the HPP-22 interface connected to the module. - Mike. "
Connect the module to a PC through the HPP-22 USB interface and log the data.
There is also an app that will let you see your models flight path on Google Earth.

Sorry to seem dense, but do I:

Connect the 22 to the module while flying to get the data (unlikely),

Connect the 22 to the module after each flight to get the data on that flight,

Connect the 22 after I get home and get data on all flights of the day?

I have looked at the HPP22 instructions and they are not clear on how this works.

Thank you!
Gene

You would have to connect the HPP-22 to the module while flying. Of course this is not very practical so in the near future we will offer a USB device that will pick up the telemetry data wirelessly to the PC.

Mike.

Wow, OK,

When I was in Toledo I was told you could still get the telemetry through the PC... I would never have guessed this would involve hooking the tx up to the PC while flying.

I guess I will reserve judgement on the workability of this until I get to see the wireless device since I actually have a laptop. I guess the real answer is telemetry is out for me, at least for now.

How long till the wireless device is available and is there a device number I can look for.

Thanks for all.
Gene

Is there any way to display Telemetry data on OSD, Is your telemetry compatible with any OSD? or do you have plans fo HITEC OSD?

A separate screen to clip on top of TX is on the items to come list.

Hi, can Telemetry data be displayed in real time on google earth via usb cable-laptop or is this not possible?

i have enough gear to take when i go flying. seems like a crazy idea to lug a laptop or a PC along to capture the data? why not just record it to an SD memory card?

Sounds perfect to me. I almost always have my netbook with me.

I have one on pre-order...

1. Perhaps because the Optic 6 does not have an SD card slot.
However, an SD card slot is on the wish list for future enhancements to the Spectra 2.4 module.
2. Use the Telemetry - HTS-Navi AFHSS 2.4GHz Wireless USB Telemetry Receiver direct to your laptop or PC if flying close to home.
3. Telemetry - Screens & Displays - Video shows why to get full benefit, until the yet to be released, clip on top of handle screen is available, a laptop or similar is very usefull.
