Wow! Not only did you answer a question I always had about what the wire was for in the receiver package but now I don’t have to keep buying smart batteries for the data! Then I read all the comments and your useful responses. Thank you so much for taking the time and helping us all out.
Incredible production. So many different graphics. You put in there video examples. So flicking informative. Dude, you should be charging us for watching this. Well done
I had bought a plane with this receiver and just bought my first one because I needed more than 6 channels. I didn't know what that wire was either. Great video.
This was a very good video for a noob like me. Looking for information to decide what to buy as a first radio and I chose Spektrum NX10 together with AR8360T. I guess that I have a lot of stuff to walk through before I'm ready for my first airplane.
Those are good choices. You should also get the Spektrum USB dongle too and Real Flight simulator so that you can practice. Flying RC is fun and rewarding, but it is difficult to learn. The first crashes usually make people want to stop. Make your first 1,000 crashes happen on a simulator.

How do I get the pack voltage to work on my DX9, 2.08 firmware. Using a E Flite Turbo Timber Evolution. AR637TA receiver. It just keeps say flight pack no data
Well I am back, is it normal for warning no telemetry, All the time even, rolling up to my feet and I get no Telemetry even still I get no hold , this is very normal for all telemetry receivers ?
So you have the data on your screen, but you want it to speak when you hit a button or switch? You need to make a custom sound/voice event in the transmitter.
What I'm wondering... if I get the GPS module for my existing reciever can I have all the virtual fence functions of those airplanes with the GPS module installed?
That’s a good question! I’m not sure of the answer, but I think that the virtual fence capable receiver is a full blown flight controller. Adding a GPS to a normal telemetry receiver might be able to warn you when you’ve gone a certain distance, but I think it would need to be a flight controller to fly the plane homeward for you. Cheers Turbo Jones! Thanks for your other nice comments! 😄
I'm a beginner, I've been flying the arrows Bigfoot RTF. I want to buy my first radio, I was looking to get a Nx6 or Nx8? My plane has flaps and I would like safe and motor cut off switch.

So I can use only the AR8020T receiver and get flight pack voltage back to my Spektrum radio? I do NOT have to have the Smart ESC nor Smart battery used in conjunction with this receiver...correct?
Thank you. I'm moving toward electrics but I want to use my new TX with my older nitro models. Can I just run the same RX batteries after swapping out to the new receiver?
There might be, but I wouldn’t know. You’ll have to ask someone who know more about RC Trucks. I had to google it to even know what it was, haha. Good luck!
Hi Matthew! I have a NX8 / AR8020T receiver. I would like to have altitude/vario and battery telemetry. What do I have to buy in order to have this information in my radio? Thanks!
You don't need anything extra. You can do those things with what you have. That's basically what I did in the video, maybe watch it again? Lemme know if you still have questions! 😁
It’s scary thought that I might blow up the unit when I put high voltage lipo into the telemetry port. There’s no information about max voltage it can take. I took a chance to inject a 7s lipo, low and behold, it reads the voltage correctly and I didnt blow it up. I havent tried over 7s voltage, maybe anyone can find out whats the max voltage
@@MatthewHeiskell I couldn't find any info about it in spec sheet or manual on the net. OrangeRX and LemonRX mention in theirs. They could take up to 50V or 12s. It's a very disappointing that Spektrum is not very clear about their products
I was hoping that I could set up the telemetry to put out an audible warning that the flight battery was down to a certain voltage and then I would proceed to land rather than having to flick a switch to hear what the voltage was and then decide.
I think those receivers are DSM2. Your old transmitter is DSM2, but your new transmitter is DSMX. You should be able to change a setting in your new transmitter to make it work as DSM2. Also, you might need to update the firmware of the transmitter.

You can use the receiver that is already in the plane or you can use the new one if the original one does not have telemetry. But the first one might have SAFE, which makes it easier to fly.
@@MatthewHeiskell Thanks, I'll try to get it figured out. :) Also, I'm assuming the voltage meter is more accurate. My other RXs agree with it, but this one particular ar410 doesn't.

Thanks, Matthew. Excellent explanation with pictures. please make a video on checking the current using a current meter, and why do it. I usually check out the battery pack, check surfaces going in the correct direction and make signal tests from time to time and that's all
Good question! You should be fine if you correct mount the two long antennas. They need to be far away from each other and the short active part at the end need to be 90 degrees from the other one. Basically, point one nose to tail, and point the other one wing tip to wing tip. You can examine the number of dropped frames after a flight. If the number is high, adjust the antennas or add a satellite receiver.
Matthew Does spektrum have a combination receiver and esc and smart battery that will warn you when your battery is below a selected voltage in the telemetry menu? Or do you have to use the sending wire that gets connected to you lipo ?
The simplest and cheapest solution is to use the telemetry receiver only, but you have to connect those two voltage sensing wires to the battery. The other option is to use the telemetry receiver and smart ESC together. That will work with any battery too. And you won’t need to connect those two voltage sensing wires to your battery.
Informative video. One question: can you see the drawn Mah on the telemetry if you have a combination of the Avian 40 amp dual smart ESC with a AR637TA receiver ?

I discovered the cable as well. I now only need to add a balance lead connector and I am set. I tested it by taking the wires and simply inserting them into the battery balance lead and it worked great. However, I want something more permanent by attaching a connector. thanks for the great advice.
That would be a great plane for the vario! You can turn the rising/falling tones on and adjust the volume. I bet you can turn it on/off with a switch in the custom voice setup menu.
I have the E-Flite BNF RV-7 and Turbo Timber 1.5m evolution can I get altitude from the recievers with my NX8 radio or to I need to add a telemetry altitude sensor?
