I am trying to implement T-Motor Alpha ESCs into a build and would like to use telemetry data from them. I have the Alpha Data Link from T-Motor, but there is zero information from them or anywhere that I’ve found that shows how this is supposed to be set up.
Ideally I could skip the Data Link and just log telem data directly from the ESC. But again, there is zero information on what protocol the ESCs use for telem communication. I have found that when the Data Link unit is used, the data is stored in a UDAT file, but have had no luck viewing those log files with anything other than T-Motors software.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Has anyone here used T-Motor Alpha ESCs and actually gotten telemetry data in real time?
There’s some info here, even a pic of a table showing the data format https://wiki.paparazziuav.org/wiki/Alpha_esc_with_telemetry_output
but it seems like you’d need to feed data from each ESC into an arduino or something to combine or average the RPM’s before sending to an ardupilot serial port.
Has anyone used the Lua script with success? Unfortunately don’t have a system to test on but if this works it would open up the use on the T-Motor integrated series on some of my birds.
