Spektrum iX12 Instructional Series - Telemetry Overview

Please click "Show More" for links and more information.
Please visit www.horizonhob... for more information on the Spektrum iX12.
Not only is the iX12 the ultimate in control, it’s the ultimate tool you can use to make sure your prized aircraft is in perfect condition. Built-in telemetry can give you real-time data on critical information like your model's battery voltage, signal quality, motor temperature and more.* Using the voice alert system, you can program the iX12 to tell you when specific telemetry values reach or exceed limits you define. You can also have it call out a sequence of telemetry values on demand with the flip of a switch.
Follow along with this video to find out how to easy it is to setup telemetry on your aircraft using the iX12. Also we give a brief overview of a new feature, the Telemetry Dashboard! And we give a brief explanation on how to assign a switch to report telemetry information via audio alerts.
A great companion to this video and many of our Instructional videos is the Spektrum iX12 Manual found here - bit.ly/iX12Manual
The Spektrum™ iX12 radio is an intelligent 12-channel transmitter matched with a powerful combination of features and next-level connectivity. Groundbreaking yet comfortably familiar, RC pilots of all aircraft types can use the iX12 to out fly everything in its class. Literally "tap" into the iX12's programming. Its 4-inch, full-color, easy-to-read monitor delivers crisp, clear detail that includes state-of-the-art touchscreen technology so that navigation is simple. And, because the interface is a fully functional Android system with a dedicated quad-core processor, it will work with an evolving list of apps from the Google Play store.

☠BLACK BARON☠ 1:26 ... RPM ... Max RPM ... is this the Max RPM of the Motor (=KV RPM per Voltage) used with a specific 6S or 12S battery or is this the Max RPM of the main rotorhead ... the "ratio" is the motor pinion gear / main gear ratio. The question is, what Max RPM is it? Max Motor RPM or Max Main Rotor RPM? Can someone here please clarify. THANK YOU!

[@erickessler6708]

Two questions.... is there a way to log total "throttle on time". For a model? This way it would be like a odometer for that model and tell me total flight time since the time of creation. 2nd question... Is there a way to save notes to a model this way I can record any must know info about this model like battery type and CG. This way I dont have to go grab the manual when it has been a long time since last flying the plane.

Love the radio but I’m having problem with the temp sensor with the AR9350 receiver. The temp only reads correct when the engine is off . I have a DLE20 engine. When I start it up , it will show negative 128 on the radio . Thanks

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

There has been a update to those receivers (7350 and 9350) that fixes some bugs with telemetry, We would suggest updating your 9350 with the SPMA3065 USB cable and the PC programmer. If that does not fix it then it could be interference from igntion system. Hope that help!

[@djmell242]

HorizonHobbyProducts Sorry forgot to mention I did update the receiver. If it’s the ignition, is there anyway it can be fix? I’m planning to buy another for new plane . Thanks

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Hmm, you would not happen to be using a RPM sensor? Otherwise what we can suggest is making sure that your spark plug boot is nice and tight on the plug, that is a common culprit for RFI.

I would like to add telemetry to my Radian XL Variometer, What modules do I need to add, that would be compatible with my IX12

[@fishfpv5020]

hey guess needed a hand getting rssi read outs on my flight one osd fc... cant seem to figure out how to set that up correctly any help would be appreciated.. i have the rssi set up on my osd but shows nothing.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

You need to be using a telemetry receiver (such as the SPM4649T) and also you may need to update that receiver (update cable SPMA3065) Hope fully that points you in the right direction!

[@fishfpv5020]

@@HorizonHobbyProducts thanks that's prob the issue for sure

[@micccain]

When I get mAh consumed it will on display two digits, ie 25 = 2500 something. Is there a way around it? I just ran the auto-config.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Make sure you are up to date on your radio. There have been steps made to fix this formatting.

[@Christian-Imago]

Question: when I use TBS Crossfire on my FPV Flight Controller, do I receive telemetry data as well? I'm using the serial port, it should work, right? Or not? I have the iX12 for 2 days, is a great radio !! thanks!

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

You will not receive telemetry to the iX12 via crossfire at this time. You should be receiving telemetry data to your crossfire unit as normal, however.

[@zekefpv5573]

When will this be supported?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

It has been supported for some time, just need to have radio updated. There is also a how to video in this playlist. Thanks!

[@unclebuck5957]

Great radio . I hope you are or can update the voice

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Hi Robert. Great comment. You can easily update the voice. The iX12 uses Google text to speech engine, so changing the voice is a simple changing in the android settings menu. Hope that helps!
