Elite AMS Competition Altitude Motor Switch, Variometer & Altimeter w/Telemetry 

  • AMS RELEASE NOTES: VERSION 1.07
    • PowerBox P2Bus telemetry support has been added. Available telemetry values: Altitude, pressure, temperature, throttle output, off-altitude…
    • Configurable telemetry slots in S.Bus2 telemetry mode. Use the MAV Manager software to change the configuration. After changing the slot range please choose the “VARIO-1672” sensor type on the appropriate slot in your Futaba transmitter.
    • Configurable telemetry slots in Multiplex MSB telemetry mode. Use the MAV Manager software to change the configuration.
    • In the RC-E7 mode you can now change the shutdown altitude. Default shutdown altitude is 120m

Elite Falcon ESC

  • FALCON/IBEX ESC RELEASE NOTES: VERSION 1.10
    • Improved on-the-fly startups (When the propeller is spinning).
    • Optimized PC configuration.

Elite EX5 Serial Bus & Servo Channel Expander

  • EX5 RELEASE NOTES: VERSION 1.04
    • Improved compatibility with JETI EX Bus 24-channel mode.
    • Added PowerBox P2Bus support on Rx1/Rx2 inputs, including telemetry.
    • Added stabilization gain tuning. Using spare Bus channels, it allows you to assign up to 3 channels to control the stabilization gains of each model axis during flight. After you assign the channel operated e. g. by a potentiometer, the behavior will be similar to a standard gyro:
      • Potentiometer in the middle (0% ~ 1.5ms) effectively disables the stabilization since all gains will be set to zero.
      • Potentiometer to the left (< 1.5ms) activates the “Heading Hold” mode. o Potentiometer to the right (> 1.5ms) activates the “Normal” mode.
