Fixed :) Ken

You are correct, the FC couldn't care less which ESC you use provided it talks the same language at the same speed. The Chinese ESCs we all know and love (?) are PWM devices that are expecting to see a signal with a value of between 1000 and 2000 which is the width of the signal in the PWM...

Fat32 and use Quick format. Ken

Your observations are correct, flashed ESCs are definitely much smoother in windy conditions than factory firmware. The reason why is the factory tries to account for all possible ways the ESC might be used and programs the firmware accordingly. While that works well in many cases it isn't the...

I disagree, the reflashed ESCs are much smoother regardless of how you fly. They are especially useful on large APV frames since the throttle response is not only quicker but also a lot more linear. The unnecessary throttle filtering put in the factory firmware to prevent fast motor spool up...

Sounds as though the main RX isn't seeing the satellite RX, won't go into bind mode if it doesn't if I remember correctly, been a while since I used any of my Spektrum stuff. Are you using the same cable between the two rx that was on there when it hit the ground? If you are try a different...

A receiver is just a device listening for a signal on a given frequency, you have as many as you want picking up the signal for whatever purpose. Exact same concept as TV or radio, broadcast a signal on a set frequency and anyone that wants to watch or listen only needs a receiver tuned to that...

Just sent you a PM... Ken

Here's the bottom line. Castle ESCs are a significantly different design in both hardware and firmware from the Chinese ESCs. Unless you happen to be using Castle ESCs, use the procedure I outlined to erase the current configuration of your ESCs which is held in its eprom memory and start from...

And connect it to a receiver port. The vast majority of gimbal ports on flight controllers are used to stabilize servo driven gimbals using the gyros and accelerometer of the flight controller so connecting a brushless gimbal to them does nothing unless they can be configured as pass through...

Since the gimbal outputs are designed to drive a servo that has no internal power source, of course there would be 5 volts supplied, otherwise the servo wouldn't work. No power is supplied to the power pin on the motor side because it isn't needed, 99.9% of the ESCs on the market derive power...

Through its internal regulator that steps battery voltage down to 5v to run the logic circuits, they simply do not connect the regulator to the servo wire nor is the circuit designed to handle the kinds of draw that a servo needs which is the case with a standard ESC BEC that can typically...

Some of those guys haven't a clue what they're talking about yet they talk like they're experts. One even admits he isn't an electrical engineer but is still trying to explain how things work! Don't believe everything you read on the forums, especially if the forum is RCG, there is just so much...

Put on a set of FPV goggles with a high gain directional antenna attached to the RX, hang a fresh battery pack under your favorite FPV quad, and go flying in and around the trees in the woods no more than 2 or 3 feet off the deck as fast as you dare, that's tree slaloming and yes it can result...

I have a 9XR sitting on the shelf gathering dust, it worked fine for roughly 7 or 8 weeks before it just died while I was doing flight controller tuning flights on a new build, end result was a totaled airframe after it flew into a stone wall due to no signal from the TX. You do indeed get what...

When doing FPV on a multirotor there really isn't much reason to use alternate frequencies, with the FRSky Taranis radio I can easily get a mile to a mile and a half range before the signal starts dropping off and the 5.8 video with the right antennas on both ends has far more range than that...

The key to your problem was what I said back in post 1039 and ultimately is what you did... "The only way to "fix" a problem like that is to reset the ESC to an uncalibrated state and then they should respond to the low throttle signal from the F/C as the default firmware setting is usually well...

Not spam, I know what it was about and it's not worth commenting on in the thread. Here's what happened, you calibrated the Opto ESCs to have a low throttle endpoint that differed from what the SuperX and the quad ESCs had originally been calibrated to when you set it up which is why those ESCs...

This is what I was referring to "At this point the end points were back to where I had them originally (Futaba: 135-100 100-135). " the ESC was calibrated to the -135 end point which is definitely below the threshold of what the SuperX or most any other flight controller would be putting out...

No I do not believe it was directed to you but that is exactly the sort of thing we do not tolerate here so I just gave that user a 7 day vacation from the forum. Ken P.S. for those not aware of it, I am one of the moderators here even though it doesn't say that in my avatar screen. P.P.S...
