DJI Wookong Multi-Rotor with Herkules ESC ?

[fritz99]

Hello !

Is ist possible to control the motors of a HEXA Copter with the Herkules II V4 ESCs ?
If yes, how can they be connected to the Wookong Controller ?

You will need two Herkules boards.

M1,M3,M5 on Herkules A. M2,M4,M6 on Herkules B.

Easy...

Or you could use some regular esc's reflashed and save 1k.

ok !
Thank you.
But what I do not understand is how the two Herkules are connected to the Wookong Controller ?
The Herkules just has one connector with I2C bus ?

Hello !

I have one more question :

I have programmed the firmware on the Herkules.
I have connected a motor to the Herkules.
I have made the ppm cable and connected it to an output of a receiver channel.
When I move the stick nothing happens with the motor. It does not start.
What do I have to do so that the motor will start ?

Does the Herkules make the startup sound and do the lights come on? If so maybe you need to arm the motors as per DJI manual.

No, the Herkules does not make the sturtup sound.
And the lights do not come on.

You need to have all motors and all signal cables connected for the Herkules to come alive.

With the new PPM Adapterboard, connection to any PPM Controls is now as easy:


With this Adapter only 4, 6 or 8 Standard PPM Patch-Cables to FlightControl are needed.
