Telemetry ports on receivers for LED power?

[underscorepatrick]

Hi. I tried a quick search but couldn’t find an answer. I’last delete this once answered.


Can I tap into the temetry ports on the stock reciever to power my LED’s? Or are those inputs only ?

Thanks in advance !

If I remember when I tried it I wasn't able to get power to the LED but I could be wrong I have CRS syndrome go ahead and plug in the LEDs worst thing is they won't light or best thing that they do

Lol! Yea I hear ya. I just hate taking the reciever cover off!


Thanks for your response! Anyone else have a definitive answer ?

I don't think so, pretty sure they are only for input.

There are two connectors, the VT and the RPM.
The VT has Ground/Volt in/Temp in, so no LED possible.
The RPM has a powered Hall sensor, there should be some milliamps available.
I don't know pinning, voltage or current capabilities, though.
If i were to guess i'd say the RPM sensor works with the rx's internal voltage so there is 3.3V and not much current, like 20mA max.

I see. Ok so v/t is all input,possible with RPM port. But 3.3v wit low amps doesn’t sound too appealing. I guess I’ll just tap into another port with yet another y splitter.. I wish we had a larger reciever box lol


Thanks for the info guys!
