Brian Dorricott 1 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hi all, I had great success with the magazine article and forum comments putting together Frsky telemetry modules and adding GPS which wasn't covered in the original article , they work brilliantly without costing too much and have even knocked a couple out for Graupner users at the club . I am now hooked on telemetry- current, vario and GPS sometimes voltage but have a lot of Spectrum models that need the same treatment but cannot find much info on homebrew Spectrum sensors using Arduino boards , anyone got a link or have done it themselves and wants to share ? I see that Spectrum uses a hub TM1000 ? and all the sensors plug into that , I imagine it's not hugely different to FRSKY setup and could be replicated using an Arduino . Does anyone have any links to working code ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad_flyer Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 There do seem to be people getting it to work, and not needing the sensor hub. Helpfully there is a full datasheet for the protocol. https://www.spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/Files/SPM_Telemetry_Developers_Specs.pdf . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dorricott 1 Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Thanks Dad_flyer that went right over my head on first read ! Maybe I should read and read again until it enters my addled brain but that's the sort of thing I was thinking of . On the Frsky sensors they became an absolute doddle when i discovered the configurator program so easy to use , wonder if some clever type fancies writing one for Spectrum ? Cheers P.S anymore info about Spectrum ? Put the E back into RCM&E . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
