ESCs done ! I actually only want to cool/put on heatsinks on the FETs. The ESCs are directly under the props wash and max I will draw 17A maybe with 5s.

Red did you use the ESC32 in combo with the AQ ? If so the logic side of the ESC32 have to be powered with 5v thus the jumper has to be soldered and the 5v jumper on the Motors outputs on the AQ has to be soldered ?
Thanks

Nah, I used F30 with simonk. Yes you need to solder the 5v bridge for the esc32.

You need a lipo. Short the J4 jumper and connect the lipo. The FDTI gets power from usb 3.3v so do this with J3 jumper removed.
For the esc32 remember to always disconnect the esc lipo first before powering down the AQ board. You risk damaging the esc's.

Okay but in a productive setup on the copter they can both go down at the same time ? Lipo to ESCs, Lipo to BEC to AQ, I can take off the lipo or the AQ always has to stay on the lipo for longer ?

I actually already have them on my TBS Naza. I like the amount of the configuration possibilities, like the current limitation, IC2 Can-bus PWM protocol.
Ill give you more on it later just in the middle on loosing my mind on these 5v solder jumpers on the ESC32
Ah and I think simony wrote the FW or consulted not sure.

Disconnecting everything together is fine. Disconnecting the main board and then the esc is bad.

japp and all the ESCs also seemed to have survived the soldering. Heatsinks on and than enough for tonite. Otherwise I start calibrating the board and find my self still awake on friday doing the Kalipso
Wonder why i didn't get a plug for the receiver port hmmm ?

Into the fridge and than in the cellar for logging
Couldn't get die listed class 10 micro SDs so i got a hama which also works. Probably one of the bigger brands anyways in th background !
Was always told that bubble wrap should be one of the best vibration isolator lets see !

Video from one of the guys that meets up with us on the weekends: Pretty impressive !

Boris some silica gel help with condensation during static calibration. Next time you see your friend can you ask him what he thinks about the smartdrone 4 in 1 esc?

Hi Red I will !
First round of the static calibration hmm docent looks to good and i moved the board at the end ;( not good. Think there is also a glitch in the Rate part

Looks like condensation. Are there a lot of metals in the room you did the calibration?
