Hack the Flysky FS-i6 or Turnigy TGY-i6 transmitter and receiver to display battery voltage so that you get a low voltage battery warning.

Thank you so much for sharing this very helpful video. I tried it on my FS-iA6 receiver and the result is absolutely good. I'm so happy because my transmitter (FS i6 upgraded to 10ch) can now detect my 3S & 4S cells battery. Thumbs up.

How do you control ailerons now that you are using chan1 for voltage monitoring?

works nicely....now however at first i set the tx to lipo 3s and would get the alarm then to turn off the alarm i switched to 1s and it dawned on me that it should be set on 1s ! since thats all your monitoring.

Why don't you plug one servo into the receiver, see how the transmitter controls it, and then move it to a different position on the receiver till you're happy, then repeat with the next servo.

thanks for the video. so if you use the Ch1 for the voltage monitor, you cant use that channel anymore for servos, is that right? furthermore, to where does the yellow cable goes from the quads reiveiver at ch1?

Do you know if there is any way to turn of the Voltage Alarm? Because when I have my motor on - full throttle the voltage drops down quiet drastically - so low - that the alarm goes off. But I want to keep the high- low-voltage settings so that there I can keep the beautiful battery animation at the top right corner of the display.

I think there is a Option for this in the settings to Set the Alarm voltage. But i use the newest Version of it so i dont know Anymore if there was a setting in the Stock Firmware becourse the First thing i did was to update the Flysky to 10ch, now i use an Even newer Version(14ch) so just Update the Flysky to the newest Version, and Set it there. This is very easy, only a ftdi Adapter or any 5v arduino board (i used an arduino UNO,But an arduino nano Does also work.) it gets very Good settings and There is no Risk to get a update to fail. I upgradet my Firmware for 3times and downgrade (factory reset works as well.) I Hope that helps. i use a very very complicatet mod whith a 2s 5.5Ah li-ion, usb charging(X-lite charging / Balance board) And also Powering external Modules and my screen. I also did an antenna mod Dremeld away the original Batterie holder to fit the li-ion And moddet the voltage divider the voltage sensing of the internaly transmitter Batterie to work with the 2s voltage Also i muß replace the original voltageregulators becourse they only can handle up to 6v , But a fully charged li-ion 2s pack is around 8,4v. I also addet an extra switch. But this is a challenge, how much i can get from this cheap Radio. Also i moddet 2 fsia6b resivers and a fsia6. All working great.

i already cut the trace, but seems i dont have any respon voltage reading from the rx.. should it be connected well? what i have done is, i cut the trace, connect my esc to the rx(which got the bec) then connect the +ve wire on ch1 to the first cell port. but then still no signal am i doin it wrong?

hello, it works, but when I tried to cut the tin between the pin and bat the receiver no longer works, and I can no longer use it, you would have a solution to bring it back to life
@jimcameron1451
@jimcameron1451 2 жыл бұрын
If you cut the wrong trace, the only way to repair it is with some conductive epoxy, but I'm not sure where to get some. This is why I suggested you do the mod on a spare unit.

its not true that you cant monitor higher voltages, you cannot set the upper voltages high if you dont raise the lower voltages. low, med and high are all tied to each other. if you set the cell number high enough and set your low voltage first, you can set this up to monitor upto 16s!!!!!!!!!

True, when I'm high its hard to distinguish between the medium and low.

Jim Cameron I've been playing about with the settings for one of my helis, I've managed to tune it so I have it occasionally bleep a 'getting low' tone every now and then about 5 mins before my battery is dead (I get about 15mins out of a battery) and give the low warning siren about a min before my esc low voltage cut out kicks in, I get plenty of time to land before my battery is at cut out voltage. With fine tuning you can get this to work well but you need to tune after runs to get a feel for the voltages to set as in flight the voltages drop lower than the resting voltage

Oh and it seems you need to re bind after doing this mod to reset the sensor and make it work

You could also just select "external battery" in the receiver settings and that will show the complete battery voltage.

This all seems very unnecessary to me.. maybe a difference in hardware..? I achieved the same exact result without modding or even touching the receiver itself.. sadly your channel has no videos of your quad setup so I really don't understand why this is necessary...

The standard iA6-receiver shows just the regulated 5v rx voltage what doesn't make sense when you are using 3s or 4s battery with 11 V or 14 V. Even if the battery voltage would go below 10 V the receiver would get enough voltage and will show ~5 V. With this mod you can display the real battery volate of the lipo battery.
