It appears that somewhere on the forum someone mentions a list of compatible sensors. However, that is all I can find. Does the Futaba GV-1 Sensor work with the Spirit Pro? And if so, can it work with the Sat voltage output. Since I could not find the spec on the operating voltage of the sensor, I can not tell if voltage is not enough, or enough.
My experience so far, is I have a GV-1 Sensor, but it shows a 67rpm reading on the software interface without moving a magnet in front of it. So it maybe bad. However I don't want to buy a 50.00 sensor if it does not work with the Spirit.
A list of compatible sensors would truly take the guess work out of this issue. I understand that maybe testing would be a burden. However, as you mention that you are open to suggestions, I believe my suggestion would be very helpful in users ascertaining this information. I have spent many hours attempting to try to find this answer, and it really should be provided somewhere. A flybarless unit that does not come with a sensor should at least mention ones that people have gotten to work. As you have team pilots, I am sure you can use their experience for that. I am the first person at my field attempting to install this unit in a new N7 nitro kit. And people are eager to see how it flys, but without a gov solution, this bird is grounded till then. Your assistance in this matter would be appreciated. And like other people on this forum, I truly hope I don't have to buy another governor when I bought the spirit pro for that purpose.

Hello,

you can verify if the sensor is working properly in the following way:
1. start the software and enter the Governor window.
2. disarm throttle hold and set throttle curve at 50% and more (so that you will see non zero Requested RPM).
3. depending on the model, you can rotate with a shaft so that magnet(s)/clutch is rotating (in case of BSP-1 starting the motor might be the best option)
4. when speed is constant, you should see constant reading -> Everything is OK.

Generally it should be possible to use any RPM sensor that works with other FBL systems.
But yes, we are preparing guides for various RPM sensors.

Usually any hall sensor will work without any problem so I can just recommend one such as Align, Spartan, Hitec - these are not expensive and are working and can be powered from the Spektrum connector.

BSP-1 can be powered from Spektrum connector but I can't tell you for sure how reliable it is.

We will get this sensor in 3 days so I can tell you more details.

I ordered the Spartan sensor. Unfortunately it is out of stock everywhere, so it is going to take a while before I can test it out.
Boo Hoo!!

Something that I would like spirit to put on its bucket list:

A separate Port for the Nitro Gov Sensor hardwired for a standard plug, or sat pigtail to std servo female.

If the sat port is software configurable, then it would only be a programming change telling the gyro one of the sat ports is a gov port. If you are using a Jeti setup like me, then the sats are only useful for the 3.3v tap. If you have a sensor that takes higher voltage, then you could provide another set of pins on the input bus. And hardwire the signal pin to the pin you refer to in the diagram for rpm signal.

Ikon has it, no messing with splitting sensor wires, this truly would make things easier for the end user.

One can only hope?
