 Sentinel is our new battery monitoring product. It is checks your battery in midflight and additonally, it is a navigation & strobe led light system.

Sentinel has some cool features like checking cells of your lipo battery and total energy of it.If a cell or total energy drops down, Sentinel warns you.

    Let me have a look now, running down a small 3s battery with sentinel attached.

     all of yours are same , actually I changed new items with your suggestion. what is the problem with others? we checked them before shipping...

  • Justice Bentz April 21, 2015 at 6:24am

    Thanks Ozan,

    Not sure if that shipped out on my order of 3 Sentinel's. 

    Is it possible to change that? 

  • Ozan Özkök April 21, 2015 at 5:24am

     Actually you are right, no yellows,I canceled the yellow signs because yellow and green looks same at midflight.

    Voltage lines are changed a bit with your suggestion :

    Over 3,9V = Green

    3.9 - 3.7 = Solid Purple

    3.7 - 3.6 = Purple Flash

    Under 3.6 = Red Flash

    Hi Ozan,

    I'm trying to figure this thing out... havent seen it go yellow yet. 

    Can you take some pictures of how it should be wired?

    And examples of low voltage warnings? 

  • Ozan Özkök April 14, 2015 at 7:53am

     Ok,

     I like your colors and will do,why not?  

    Maybe your idea might better... :)

    In navigation mode, only cell droping alarm, yellow and red alarm will be available.

    I see navigation strobe is for night flying, but will that tell cell voltage as well?

  • Justice Bentz April 14, 2015 at 6:33am

    That would be excellent. So it would just occasionally read out of my voltage of cells in "navigation strobe mode"?

    My ORDER TDTXGZLSR. I essentially just want it to:

    Flicker Green for 100% (4.2 - 4.0)

    Flicker yellow for 75%  (3.9 - 3.7)

    Flicker purple for 65%  (3.7 - 3.6)

    Flicker red for 60% (3.6 - 0)

    Let me have another look at what navigation strobe looks like.

     I can arrange code default "navigation-strobe mode" for you. If you dont want to use rc ,it works navigation-strobe and you can use rc for other modes when you want.

    I see,

    I just ordered 4 of them to test out, curious to see this in action as I think it will help for night flying quite a bit. 

    If I don't leave it plugged into my receiver can I leave it in Navigation mode then unplug from receiver?
