I am working on a large electric plane for work and would like to have ESC telemetry for temp and RPM. I am finding that most high current and voltage ESCs do not have bl_heli32 so ESC telemetry does not work with the Cube.
I know Castle ESCs have the ability to send telemetry to Spektrum and Futaba radios using a Telemetry Link cable that goes between the ESC and the receiver.
Is there any work being done to get this type of telemetry supported on the Cube so that I can just plug the Castle Telemetry Link cable into the Cube and see the ESC telemetry in Mission Planner? @philip
RPM is there already. I don’t know your specifics, but will this work?
These are for Helicopters. It’s more of counting how many times a point passes to measure rpm.
@Blin_Richards What current rating are you looking at?
I need a 120 amp ESC.
I would like to use the built in telemetry data that the castle ESC is already logging. There are 2 dongles you can buy, one for Futaba radios and one for Spectrum radios. Linked below.
Is anyone looking into adding support for these devices in Ardupilot? @philip

More than a year later and still no answer…, Castle telemetry support would be great in Ardupilot!
If I knew how, I would build it myself.
