HOBBYWING PLATINUM VBAR NEO Tlemetry Setting Course User Guide

This is used to guide the user how to use the platinum V4/V4.1 ESC and VBAR NEO Gyro to realize real-time telemetry

STATEMENT

Please strictly connect the wire according to this instruction. Any private modification or wrong connection may damage ESC or your equipment. We will not be liable for any liability caused by using the product or modifying the product without permission, including but not limited to the liability for incidental or indirect loss. We have the right to change the product design, appearance, performance and use requirements without notice.
At present, only Platinum V4/V4.1 supports VBAR NEO Telemetry function. Platinum V3 ESC, Platinum HV 160A V4、Platinum HV 200A OPTO V4 ESC do not support this function.
At present, only VBAR NEO Gyro Flybarless system and VBar Control Touch Radio system support this function. Other VBar Flybarless system (VBar and Mini VBar) and other VBar Control Radio system do not support temporarily. You can pay attention to the latest information on VBar official website to obtain relevant functions. (This item has nothing to do with Hobbywing, Because VBar does not open devices to support telemetry except NEO. It can be used directly if open in the future, and Hobbywing ESC does not need to set.)

PREPARE DEVICES

You need to prepare Hobbywing Platinum V4/V4.1 ESC (as shown in figure 1), VBAR NEO Gyro Flybarless system and VBar Control Touch Radio system (as shown in figure 3), and Platinum ESC- VBAR NEO Gyro data return adapting wire (as shown in figure 2, need to buy separately).
