i have hexacopter running arducopter 4.2.3 with CubeOrange+ and hobbbywing x9plus propultion system.
it has tx out wire from the esc, i have connected to it to the gps1 serial port and changed the protocol and baud rate accordingly,

I don’t think that is supported yet. AFAIK only one single ESC can be monitored. Complain to hobbywing, they should work together withe the community to extend support to multiple ESCs

This has changed, it is fully supported now using a lua script.

Hi, I’ve been following this thread on telemetry from motors for a long time. Can you give me a hint on how I can implement it?

Hi Amilcar,

It “seems” Hobbywing uses the same logic with Tmotor datalink devs fiddling in another thread.

Do you think it will work or have heard anything?

Best,
Dimitris
