Spektrum Vario meter/altimeter setup

[@karsteinlerang2660]

Thanks, this was just what I needed.

[@waynerobinson2656]

Your right Soren, I could not find a way to turn the Altitude off on my 9 either.Thanks for confirming that.

Hi SpeedsterDEN ! Super Video, just for coincidene I found your posts about the LemonRX LM0052 on RCgroups! Super, you have this videos! I was searching to activate those bips on my DX8G2 with the telemetry. I have bought a Staufenbiel Epsilon 3500mm glider. And since this is a good glider model for thermals I bought the LM0052 for the vario but wasn´t sure if it is a good receiver. Seems to be good! 500m as you described on the post are enough for me :D On October I had my first gliding experience (I just started to fly on the beginning of this year, but I´m so stoked that I already have around 15 planes flying and some for building or maiden. I have noted all your configurations and will try this later. I need to see what are the rest of cables of the LM0052 for, I think temp and voltage. But I also have the powermeter for the battery on my model...

I tried this on a AR637T but it showed only altitude on my very first Volantex ASW28.

@@ficosk8 @SpeedsterDEN AR637TA version doesn't have barometer what i read in the manual (those comes with BNF models) just the T version has it. I went for it for now but would be nice to get a cheaper RX working with Vario and maybe some basic stabilisation. Does LemonRX 0052 do these or u need extra modules?

[@ficosk8]

@@killmz LemonRX has that included in the more expensive receiver from $30 and up. The 7 and 10 Ch with gyro (Gen2) and also the older 7Ch with sensors and telemetry. They work great!

[@ficosk8]

@@killmz I have tested the barometer of my Ar637t and it works. I have also a TA in my Draco but didn’t know that. I could test it someday when I repair my Draco 🤣

[@killmz]

@@ficosk8 still better than 140 dollars :)

[@petesmith9472]

I guess this is the same formula size glider?

[@LiamTelfer]

What RX are you using ? I have lemon 0052 with DX9 and can’t get vario tones 🤷‍♂️

[@SpeedsterDEN]

Same RX, and I use the same set up on the Spektrum RX. Set it up as in the video :) If no tones then try to rebind on a test model in the tx, and try again..

thanks

[@alpenjon]

Great, thanks for explaining!

[@RCjunkie]

I did it as you said but still on sound when it goes up or down, What did I miss

[@SpeedsterDEN]

Can you see the curve change on the vario screen when you lift the plane 😳

[@RCjunkie]

@@SpeedsterDEN yes but no sound

[@Chorney08]

Hey buddy, I watched your videos, very good and easy to follow THANK YOU! I have a Gen 2 DX9 with a Telemetry AR410 receiver. I do the auto config many times, the radio accepts the telemetry BUT, there is no Vario sound or graph motion and she tells me "No Altitude data" I am missing something but have no idea what to try. Can you assist pleae? Cheers Michael

[@SpeedsterDEN]

As I can see there is no altitude and variometer on the AR410 Here from Spektrum: Telemetry Built into the AR410 is telemetry that automatically delivers vital data to your Spektrum telemetry-capable transmitter. With fly-by range, you can retrieve flight log data such as any fades, frame losses or holds and see receiver voltage status in real-time.

[@pauldale6651]

Can you tell me please, would a gen2 Spektrum DX8 with TM1000 give an audible rising falling tone and an audible altitude voice with the Vspeak variometer.

[@SpeedsterDEN]

I Think so, but not sure, because the vspeak soundmodule can work together with the tm1000 and a Spektrum altimeter gauge as a variometer. And if the vspeak vario gauge work as a Spektrum altimeter it will not work as a variometer together with the 8 gen2 but only as a altimeter. But Volker from Vspeak can answer if you send him a mail If you have a DX8 2 and use a 6 ch rx then just get the AR6610 then you have all you need 😃

Great instructional video 💖

[@laseonestar]

Hey there thanks for this show of how to.. cheers mate and good winds ;-)

[@iankelly6755]

Can any one pls tell me how to have my Dx6 transmitter speak the altitude to me fairly new this many thanks ian

[@SpeedsterDEN]

First you must be sure it is the Spektrum dx6 G2 tx, then you must have a Spektrum Telemetri rx with variometer gauge, or a TM1000 telemetri module + variometer gauge, or a Lemon 0052 telemetri reciver.

[@shckltnebay]

Do you know if this works with the AR6200?

[@SpeedsterDEN]

If you have a TM1000 + variometer gauge and a G2 Spektrum tx with sound module, then yes..

[@shckltnebay]

thanks

Sinkreport -5.0 m/s?? That means you throw away info that helps you to stay up. Better learn to use it instead.

[@SpeedsterDEN]

I am the Danish champion in F5j gliders, and I have no problem to see and feel when the glider flying in sink ;) so I just don't want to hear the vario all the time. My thermal duration record is 9 hours 8 min, and I have won the Danish yearly summer thermal duration contest for the last 9 years in a row and the winter contest 8 times, so I have no problem to keep the glider in the air without the down tone :)
