Hobbywing Telemetry Adapter (Platinum V4/V4.1/V5/V5.1)

The Hobbywing Telemetry Adapter (specifically the S.BUS2 for Futaba variant, Part No: HW30850500) is a bridge component that allows real-time data transmission from your ESC directly to your transmitter. This is an essential upgrade for pilots and drivers using Platinum V4/V4.1/V5/V5.1 aircraft ESCs or high-end XeRun/Ezrun car ESCs who want to monitor critical system health without stopping the vehicle.

Key Features:

• Live Data Stream: Transmits essential telemetry including Battery Voltage, Motor RPM, ESC Temperature, Throttle Percentage, and (on supported models) Current Amperage.
• S.BUS2 Compatibility: Designed specifically to plug into the S.BUS2 port of Futaba receivers, making the data instantly accessible on transmitters like the 16IZ, 18SZ, 32MZ, or the 10PX for car users.
• Compact & Lightweight: Weighing only 3.5g, it can be tucked away in the tightest of airframes or chassis without affecting the center of gravity or weight balance.
• Status LEDs: Features dual LEDs (Red and Green) to provide instant visual confirmation of the connection status between the ESC and the receiver.
• Simple Wiring: Connects to the ESC's "P" (Programming/Data) port and the receiver's S.BUS2 port, acting as a translator for the proprietary Hobbywing data protocol.

Important Compatibility Note:

While most Platinum V4/V5 ESCs support full telemetry, some smaller models (like the Platinum 25A/60A V4) do not have internal current sensors and will not display Amperage data. Additionally, ensure your ESC firmware is updated to the latest version via the LCD Program Box or OTA Programmer to ensure the telemetry protocol is active.

Looking for VBar or Jeti?

If you are a Mikado VBar user, you generally do not need this specific S.BUS2 adapter. Instead, you use the Hobbywing-to-VBar Connection Cable (Part No: HW30810001), which allows the ESC to talk directly to the VBar Control system for full integration and "Telme" functionality.
