That seemed to help! I'll need to go out and fly it to be sure, but I couldn't get my motor to lose sync on the bench. Unfortunately, Taranis doesn't tell you the PWM outputs of it's curves (if it does, I don't know where to find it). Here are the throttle (ch3 mix) settings for anyone else...

My current throttle pwms are 982ms to 2006ms. The KDE's are looking for between 1100 and 1900. I'm within those ranges, but haven't tried matching my TX to those specific points with the SuperX. My KDE ESC's also didn't work with a Pixhawk and matching the pwms on the transmitter didn't make a...

Ary is using the Aurora. I have a Taranis with the X8r rx. It worked fine with SuperX when I was running SimonK and normal pole count motors. I probably should have included the transmitter in the picture, but I'm switching from ~30% throttle to 100% throttle rapidly. You can also hear the...

Here's how mine acts. Running 4014 380kv motors with the 55A ESC's (both KDE). It acts fine when connected directly to the RX.

I'm having similar issues. KDE is currently trying to get ahold of Xaircraft to work something out. I can get all of my motors to arm, but they lose sync with throttle changes.

Have you tried the Heden Carat? It worked well on the M10 with an Epic, Arri Master Primes, and Paralinx video. We were pushing the weight limits of the M10 with the Master Primes, but it seemed to handle everything pretty well.

I asked this question a while back. My throttle range was set for ~980 to ~2006. Within the ranges of the KDE ESC's, but not set to the exact range. Half way on throttle was well above 1100ms and by full throttle they all should have at least armed right?

Sorry that this doesn't answer your question, but here's another prop to throw into the mix... Range Video's Carbon T prop I use the 10" version on my f550 and I have the 18" version on an x8 that I'm building. They're cheap, but they require a little bit of balancing (I've never had one that...

I had all 8 ESC's plugged in with their grounding wires. I didn't modify anything. I just got my Pixhawk working with my SimonK ESC's and my SuperX at least arms all of my KDE ESC's. The Pixhawk would consistently arm 6/8 of the KDE ESC's. They all armed at different throttle points. I think two...

Thanks for the update! You guys have been really helpful through this. My end goal is to lift ~$40k worth of camera equipment and I'm pretty set into the KDE ESC/Motor combo. Their stuff is easily the smoothest/most well built that I've used. I've just had bad luck on the flight controller end...

Yeah. Xaircraft is still trying to help though (Anthony from XA International is great!). Chris (KDE Support) said it's because SuperX's refresh rate is only 333hz. Evidently KDE ESC's have problems with <400hz refresh rates. It's something they're looking into, but it's still a long way away...

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm looking for a FC for an X8 that will be lifting ~20lbs. I'm using KDE motors and ESC's and I've gone through two controllers so far that won't work with the ESC's. Pixhawk and SuperX. Pixhawk won't arm a couple of the motors and SuperX loses sync. I'm also...

Thanks everyone! I've already sent e-mails to Xaircraft and KDE. I just thought I'd ask around to see if anyone else was having similar issues. The ESC's are connected directly to the power dist. board with 3.5mm bullets. The power wiring from the ESC to the board is the stock length on KDE...

Anyone running SuperX with KDE Motors/ESCs? I'm running into a sync issue that is only present when plugged into SuperX. If I connect everything to my receiver (FrSky x8r), there's no sync issue. I'm running KDE 4014 motors, 55A ESC's, and 18" CF props. Here's a video of what is happening...

You can also use a small parallel balance lead to connect your lipo sensor to both batteries. It will give you the average across matching cells, but this should be close enough to know when to land.

I have 8 55's from the first production batch, which I'm using on a build in progress. Is replacing the power leads something you recommend? I'll be running the 4014's with 18" props lifting around 10-11kg.

Speedgrade is Adobe's color grading software. The newest version of Premiere also includes Lumitri Looks under the effects tab. You can create new looks with Speedgrade and they should be brought into Premiere.

Supposedly, the Naza doesn't care too much about the CG. Is it balanced on all other axes? If you notice that it flies better with the battery on top, I'd keep it there. Maybe mount it more towards the back to counter act the gimbal weight? You might try adjusting the gains. I have a 550 with...

I think that it depends on the Flight Controller. I know that SuperX flies a lot better if it's closer to the center of gravity on every axis. Some flight controllers may have settings for CG offsets.

I just ordered the 55A's to go with my 4014's. Hopefully they live up to the hype!
