Making Kosmik + JLog work with Jeti telemetry alarms?

[madeye]

Is there any HOWTO collected in one place about how to make those three work together and enable the alarms in the transmitter?

[TeroS]

Not that I know of, but I can make one.

[malc1]

Yes please if you could, I would also like some further information.
I am setting up a Kosmik 200 and Jlog2.6 on a Jeti system at the moment.

[TeroS]

There You go. If anyone finds any errors please let me know: https://www.rc-thoughts.com/2015/03/...-jlog2-6-jeti/

Looks pretty good to me.

Regarding the sensor configuration box.I take it I just select one for just the Kosmik plugged in only and if any more Jlog sensors are plugged into the JLog's ports I just adjust this?

Does it make any difference anywhere if I add a Jeti expander and add more of Jeti's own sensors directly into this? ie Not plugged into the JLog.

No. I have both JLog and Jeti-sensors via expander in my setup.

OK thanks that's sorted then.

Regarding the additional settings for alarms?

I'm using a 12S setup with a pair of 5000mAh packs.Is the CapMax refering to both of the packs (10000mAh) in this case?
What about the other options on this panel?

[TeroS]

All the alarms are done in Jet TX, do not put any alarms in JLog configuration..

If You have two 6S 5000 mAh batteries in series You have a 12S 5000 mAh setup. So if we are thinking that You always need to have the 20% left in the battery You need to setup alarm-threshold so You land with atleast 20% left. This means in practise that You need to be on ground latest when You have used 4000 mAh. Be safe and put alarm to earlier, say 3700 mAh or something like that so You have time to land.

So battery capacity only to go in this panel everything else including the box marked UbecDip to be blank/un
checked?
Just making sure.

With the card back in the Jlog and the Kosmik powered but not the V bar unit should I have any indicators lit on the J Log unit?
It does go through a bit of a cycle when powered up but then all are off.

[TeroS]

Battery capacity goes nowhere in Kosmik or JLog, only in Jeti.

Read the firmware-flashing and led's from JLog-pages http://j-log.eu/start/, scroll down to english. Did You flash the right firmware to JLog?

[malc1]

Yes,right firmware has been flashed.
Checked it in the log on the SD card as well.

[TeroS]

Hmm.

I think You need to have VBar powered. My theory is that Kosmik is not sending anything unless it senses some sort of throttle-signal.

Unplug Your motor or remove blades (taill-blades also) for security.

[malc1]

You may be right.
Custom length cables have been run from the VBar to the front of the Heli but no plugs have been fitted yet.
Waiting for a pair of crimpers to arrive.
I'll carefully hook something up temporary to check it later and also see if I get the data on the DS16.

The configurations on my blog-post are from my working setup with VBar + JLog2.6 + Kosmik so I know there's nothing wrong with them.
