    TinyTelemetry


    I just got a bundled deal on the tracker, pan/tilt, which the guy threw in aTiny Telemetry. I’m trying to dick around withit, however I’m not getting anything out of it. He mentioned that there is aled that should blink for initiation, however I get a faint glow and that’s aboutit. Any ideas? I used this http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4319to power it up. Also wanted to know ifanyone knows where I can get the current sensor for it, and/or if the EzOSD's canbe used as a replacement.

    You can reach ImmersionRC in their subforum - or you can reach out to Tim @ ReadyMadeRC who supports their products. I'm interested in this thread bc I am going to be purchasing this system soon for Tracking my Skywalker.

    The current sensor that can be used with it is the ezosd`s current sensor, the EZOSD does the same thing, sends the telemetry down the audio channel, but then has the display too.

    This may help you out

    No, no, the EzOSD uses an intelligent current sensor, it has a microcontroller on it and communicates via the i2c bus, the current sensor on the Tiny is simply an analog contraption.

    Ah, right, i was under the impression it was the EZOSD current sensor that needed to be used when looking over the manual.

    TY, Ssassen, i had a buddy check it out, seems intact, however he said it needs to be reflashed. (Hes a EE) Not exactly sure what to do atm, is it possible to send it to you or vendor for repairs? Also, would you sell me a spare current sensor?

    Thanks guys for being patient with me.

    Hi all. I plan to assemble a small FPV rig with a TinyTelemetry + iTelemetry/iPhone (in lieu of a full blown OSD).

    Q1) Although the phone shows the battery data, it is not possible to look down at the phone with goggles on. Any chance you guys (at IRC) can add an audio alarm to the app?

    Q2) This got me thinking: the principle behind all current OSDs is to acquire data and add it to the video image prior to transmitting. This approach requires the OSD to be on the plane. Instead, why not have something more like TinyTelemetry, send the data down the audio channel, and then add it to the video at the receiving end? I would think this would save a lot of weight and space.

    Hi all FPV folk,

    Is this the correct way to wire IRC Tiny Telemetry, without going via the ESC?

    The VTx power suply is stand alone. I use a separate 3S Lipo.

    If I got this correct the supplied standard 3 pin servo cable with bare wires at the other end go like this;

    VTx Battery voltage = Bare Red servo wire to VTx pack positive

    VTx Battery current (Amps) = Bare white servo wire to VTx pack positive

    Ground = Bare black servo wire to VTx pack negative

    Although the manual show a great picture of the small pcb, will this set up still work (I.e monitor volts and amps of the A/V lipo) and display it via Itelemitry app on my iPhone?

    BTW ssassen,

    I think the picture illustration on the back of the TT package is labeled incorrectly. I hope I'm wrong but please wait for the pictures.

    I applogise in advance if I'm wrong. Long day today....off to bed now! Pictures added.

    Hi ssassen,

    I will try to keep this simple.

    Looking at the uploaded picture of my TT, opposite the audio header there is a small black component (I assume a capacitor).

    In the second picture I have the supplied servo cable plugged into audio, +5V, ground (W/R/Bl).

    I have now taken a picture withe the servo cable in the same position but flipped the TT over.

    The ground header is next to the black component therefore using the black component as a datum the packaging should read:

    Ground
    Current
    Battery
    Ground
    +5V
    Audio



    I have had my TT working so I know it is fine when I plug it in as per the 3rd picture.

    Could you confirm the packaging is incorrect please.
