German article.
New firmwares in the autodownloader for JLog2.6. (firmwares for JLog2.5 and 2 will follow soon. JLog2 needs JSend because of the inverted bus (S.Port))
You need the newest JLC6, at least JLC6.0.0.4.

Tom, I am admittedly unfamiliar with JLog. But I own a Taranis, and am considering trying a JLog to take data from my Castle Edge 100 ESC, and send it back to my Taranis as telemetry data.

I'm mainly interested in getting mAh-used from my Castle, so that I can go beyond using a timer. But pack voltage, amps, and maybe ESC temperature would be nice. Anything beyond that (ESC throttle %, headspeed, etc) would be a bonus. I want to be able to set up alarms on the Taranis for at least mAh-used, and pack voltage, based on the data it's getting from the JLog.

I don't require actual logging on the device, the Taranis will do the logging for me. I am using an X-series FrSky receiver, and might try my iKon's governor in the future. It sounds like the JLog supports FrSky's S.Port telemetry system, rather than their older hub-based telemetry system. So that's good.

Is this the unit I would need?

Is there a better suggestion for my application, or an approaching update that I should know about?

Can any Taranis owners provide feedback on how this setup works? With OpenTX 2.0 released, I'm hoping that hasn't caused any issues. I see that this should apparently work, but I haven't come across posts from Taranis owners talking about how well it works (or any issues they may have experienced) in the real world.

Thank you.

Yep.

The "Y cable" in addition w'd be a good idea.
