I believe sbus is compatible. I run sbus with an MSH Brain flight controller and they talk flawlessly. I've also used Arduino sbus library to read frsky sbus data.

OK thanks Raleighi'... looking at the copyrights for the library now... just making sure what I can, and can not do in regards to using it in this project.

Default FrSky GAS-Suite

I was browsing frsky's website looking at the various telemetry sensors / ula scripts, and happened across this particular gas sensor suite for remote monitoring in real time internal combustion engines... monitors engine rpm, temp, fuel flow velocity / fuel consumption / gas quantity... as well as control ign manually, on/off kill switch... The fuel flow sensor has a ± 2% accuracy, temp sensors ±1%... Surprised Bert hasn't seen this, not sure if it's accurate enough, but thought it was pretty neat none the less.

That fuel flow sensor doesn't have accurate readings at the flow rates our engines use. It's more suitable to fuel flow rates of turbine engines.

It the pdf manual, claims its intended for use in monitoring gasoline internal combustion engines, no mention of turbines, but the ± 2% accuracy at those flow rates, I would tend to agree... they do say those values are customizable via the ula scripts, and updated firmware... it's suppost to show remaining fuel quanity based on the tank volume size listed in the ula script... its a neat concept, but needs better accuracy, and improved sensitivity... it's been out since 2018.

Im OK... Hope all the others are..

Just been very busy with work. Did get out for the first "official" fly of the year last weekend - we had an "early-ish" spring but Mother Nature returned us to cold and wet for a few extra weeks - looks like its going to get nice now..

Here OK as well...
Had an episode of BPPD about two months ago, rendering me unfit for work for about a month and another month of carefully returning to duty in small increments.
BPPD is a condition in which tiny cristals of calcium (or so they say, not sure if the scientists agree on it) occur in the semicircular canals of the balancing organ in your ear.

Man, a three day long rollercoaster ride, wilder than any REAL rollercoaster out there...

But since last week reported "recovered" to my employer, and back to work again.

Have been messing about with engines, flying, etc but all on a fairly low level the last 5 or 6 months due to other private circumstances. Slowly getting back to normal.

Cool MIP TG3 Temp Sensor

G'Day G'Day...Does anyone know what battery fits the MIP TG3 nitro engine temp sensor?
Mine went flat, I pulled it out so I could take it to the battery store for a replacement, and...ya know, life happened and it's lost.
I really want to get it going, again, I've got a very modded TLR TEN SCT Nitro, man that truck is a blast.

There usually is a battery type cast in in the battery lid or the battery recess.

Assuming it is a button cell of sorts, just bring the sensor, and check which one physically fits. Since virtually all of them are the same chemistry and therefore the same voltage, 99% chance it will work.
Just pay attention to polarity.
