Futaba and Multiplex connection
Futaba and Multiplex systems do not offer wireless device configuration. The telemetry transmission is
possible with the following fixed sensor slots:

Spektrum integration
From version 1.06, the Spektrum telemetry support has been integrated in a special firmware version. This
alternative firmware offers the SRXL2 telemetry and setting using the TextGen protocol. The IBEX controller is
represented in the transmitter by two telemetry devices:
-
“ESC” shows battery voltage, current, BEC voltage, ESC temperature, RPM and power output.
-
“Flight Pack Capacity” sensor that shows the consumed battery capacity.
Connect the Throttle cable (black connector) to the
Thr
(1) receiver port. For proper telemetry/setting also
connect the Telemetry cable (red connector) to the
Prog/SRXL2
receiver port. The controller normally delivers
only numerical telemetry. The textual menu (TextGen) is available only after a special procedure is performed
during startup:
We assume the
Throttle
and
Telemetry
cables are connected correctly and the transmitter is turned on.
Now push the throttle high.
Turn on the ESC either by connecting the flight pack or by flipping the external switch.
The motor will beep indicating detection of the high throttle impulse. After 3 seconds, another beep
announces entering the programming menu.
Now you may pull throttle low On the transmitter main screen scroll right to locate the TextGen menu.
The motor will never start spinning if the textual menu is enabled. To enable normal motor operation,
you have to leave the TextGen menu by choosing the “Exit” option on the first page.
Navigation in the menu is provided by the transmitter sticks – elevator stick moves the cursor up/down
and aileron stick changes the selected value.
The configuration changes are saved immediately after any value is edited.
Note:
Use the latest firmware version in your transmitter and receiver. For Spektrum NX, at least version 3.06
has to be installed. Recommended receivers: AR8360T, AR8020T, AR6610T, AR631T,
AR637T…
