FYI, if you need RSSI on your OSD, you need this receiver instead - bit.ly/2ycIXCH
Thanks for the video Albert. I've been using my FS-i6s with the TGY-iA6C receiver and it works great. I haven't tried the voltage monitoring and alarm settings, but now with your help, I've got that implemented too. So now I have a buzzer on the quad, OSD with flashing low voltage display, and the transmitter beeping. I guess I'm covered.
excellent discovery!!!!! yes, now i can get rid of that cheap battery alarm device and got my buzzer working
I totally just got rssi on my osd with the evo and ia6c reciever. Had to do that little tight solder job.
Want to do the same. How did you do it?
kwad life how did u do it? Want to do the same..
What size micro JST 2-wire connector plugs into the receiver B-DET? is it 1.0? 1.25? 1.50? I can't find the correct size on the internet. Hopefully you can advise. Thanks.
I'm not sure. I don't have these anymore.
It's a shame they dropped signal strength for the new Turnigy Evo. That was a nice feature that you could use as a crude tracker.
+Chris Morley it may come back
I was playing with my new radio today. I really like it. I'm having a bit of trouble coupling it with the Kiss FC. It works in Futaba sbus but the Turnigy isn't a futaba and it feels a bit rough, particularly on throttle

Hi Albert, do you know is it possible to get RSSI in betaflight OSD using a flysky i6s radio and flysky a8s or some other flysky micro receiver ?
Not with the micro receivers. Only ones I know work are the X6B and iA6B
Hi Albert, big thanks for the video. Do you know if its possible to get RSSI in my omnibus OSD using a flysky i6s radio and x6b receiver ?
No, that's only possible with Taranis.
I can confirm that on low signal the tx beeps to warn you, I cut off both of my antenna's on a punch out... lol.... I've fixed the antennas, but now their very short, I still get over 300m without any low signal warning.
Awesome. Good to know. I tried a range test where I stuck the receiver in a metal ammo box and sealed it... walked away more than 200m with no warning, no drop out. I was pretty shocked. I think for miniquads we should be good to go.
is it possible to use telemetry with x6b in turnigy evoultion ? and how do you do it ?
what is "set ibus_report_cell_voltage = OFF" in CLI? :D should I turn it ON?
CLI setting to determine if the voltage reported is Vbatt or calculated average cell voltage. It's only important if you're using an OSD and getting voltage info through the flight controller.
"if you're using an OSD and getting voltage info through the flight controller" alright that's my clue :D haha thanks!
on a 3s battery whats a good low voltage number to set the low voltage alarm to I was thinking around 11.1v but Im new to this an need to check
10.5v
Hi, nice information! Do you think same thing would be possible with FS-A8S receiver?
+Adopanci A it's not.
Hey since the Alarms are too quiet why don't you do a mod to add an earphone/jack? :)
Interesting idea. I'll do some research
nice video. do you happen to know what does the different beeping means?? I suppose there's one for weak connection, one for low voltage.. but there are others. I can't really understand nor can I find it in the user manual. cheers mate!
I'm not sure either but the one for signal lost is pretty unique. You can verify it by turning off the power to the RX and hear the tones from the transmitter.
thanks. that one I knew already. ;)
Hi, first of all you run a great channel ☺
I have a question. Do you soulder the small cable (for rssi and batt voltage monitoring) directly to your lipo pads? or on empty pads on your pdb?
Just received this receiver and looking forward to using it.
greetings
Thanks for the feedback. I solder the batt monitor wires to my PDB. I don't think there are any wires for the RSSI. Did I miss something?
Albert Kim Hey, no I may explained it wrong in regards the rssi. I was just wondering about the batt monitoring wires ☺
Ofcourse there r no rssi wires, silly me ☺
And your channel is lately a much visited channel by me. I like your style and info. Keep up the nice work.
grts
Thank you for watching! I'll keep the videos coming!
hi,
did you test the range on this tx ?
I'm really wondering if it has good range cause for the price looks like a nice remote.
I've been able to fly about 300 feet so far with no issues. I will do some kind of formal range test for a future video soon. You're not the only one interested in this...
Albert Kim,
Yes pretty sure allot of people would like to know.
well ill stay tuned.
ow and is it easy to pinch the sticks while flying ?
or is it more of a thumb style tx ?
Using the RunCam Swift 2, do you need vbat for battery monitoring? It had an inbuilt OSD
+Passion Agar & Troll comments lol m9 yes
Albert Kim kk, vbat+ on Swift 2 to '+'current (of liPo) using a pin into the dc port of the battery. The wire+adapter where you charge the liPo from.
+Passion Agar & Troll comments lol m9 don't have that yet. Will review later
Maybe they'll add RSSI alarm in future firmware. Should be possible since the data is already there in the sbus stream? (But HK seems sloooowww with their own branded firmware updates, at least for the i6s.)
Oh I think "vol" is Volts. We're just so unused to seeing it without a capitalized V. Somebody send Albert a coffee! ;)
btw -- I hope you're going to review the FS-A8S reciever.
These FlySky radios are different between the Turnigy branded and the OEM and the different firmware capabilities are hard to keep from getting confused! :)
Yeah I have the micro receiver on the way. I hope it will be a winner... I may just use those from now on...
Why not use a ubec with pig tails to white plastic . Use 3.5 round connectore. Next , just run pig tails from where the other p/t are and run them to the other b/r wires. These will run off esc power cords which are the lipos. I use ubec for my rc boats which save on weight factor. Food for thought.
I'll get back and explain better,ok!
Very helpful video, is it possible to get an Rssi value on betaflight osd with this receiver?
any idea how to calibrate the battery voltage? mine's off about .11 volt
Ill be doing this today thanks alot my friend😎👍
Nice, thanks for the helpful video! Do you think the beeping is loud enough to hear when flying with fpv goggles in an outside environment?
The beeping should be loud enough. It's the same volume as on the i6S and I could hear that outside next to freeway noise.
I've read somewhere that it should beep if more than 80% of the packets are lost. Can you confirm it? It's kind of how RSSI is supposed to work.
Well, when I powered off the receiver, the transmitter does beep at you. How do I simulate 80-99% packet loss?
Take the controller and go 300+m away from the receiver or shield the RX antennas with walls/metal so that you don't have to go too far from it. But you will need some servo or some other way to verify that you still have the control when it starts to beep.
OK, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try.
weird question.
can I do this with the evolution?
can you change the RSSI alarm value with this receiver and the i6s transmitter?
Not that I know of.
What is "Sig.S" ?
uuuggggh, so sad there is no flight controller telemetry
I just mean the necessary hardware is likely there already. I think they did it to make it easier. I think we might be able to do it with the ia6b though
It's on my evo. But now I rssi on my osd
I meant. I want rssi on my osd.
@@kwadlife4106 Not possible with this receiver. You need this one instead - bit.ly/2ycIXCH
@@AlbertKimTV ok thanks. Do you know of hand if the range is pretty good? Seems like I can go pretty far with the ia6c as far out as my video will let me go.
I ordered it either way. I'll give it a try an see how it goes. I'll get back with you. Thanks for the help.
can we get rssi for input OSD?
I don't think it sends that info over telemetry.
I am just about to wire up the Bdet to the pdb , can i wire it directly to the battery + - input pads with the battery leads ?
Yes, but double check the polarity so you don't smoke stuff! :)
Thanks for the reply mate , yeah ill test it on the multi meter ;) have you tested out the signal rssi ?
RSSI is definitely being sent back to the Evolution but there is no readout anywhere and I haven't been able to fly far enough away to trigger any warnings. Someone else on my channel mentioned it does beep at you when the RSSI gets low but the current firmware doesn't tell you signal strength.
Shame about the signal strength but i suppose its not a big issue if youve got your goggles on fpv anyways as it beeps . Maybe they will bring that out in a future firmware update.
The problem is even with beeps it's not that loud! LOL
Where do you get the pigtail from which plugs into the B-Det port ?
I get them from eBay here - goo.gl/WO3GdF
Keep in mind the polarity is reversed on the receiver. Just double check it.
Great. That goo.gl link doesnt work (here at work anyways). Do you have the ebay link ?
rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575184405&toolid=10001&campid=5337892758&customid=&icep_item=161717776613&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
For understanding: for the battery voltage i have to plug the b-det port to the vbat port at the fc, right?
Did u think, voltage telemetry works on iA6c to flysky FS i6S Transmitter???
Yes, it should.
