Greetings!
Need a little help here with what seems to be two totally different standards of programming - one set for the Naza v2 FC's Motor/ESC setting requirements, and another for the E-Max 20A ESCs and E-Max MT2216 810kV I'm trying to mate with it.
According to the Naza V2 installation manual, what I need to be programming into the ESCs are these parameters:
P1) Ensure ESC's travel midpoint is at 1520us. Do not use midpoint at 700us (microseconds).
P2) Governor OFF
P3) Break OFF
P4) Normal Startup (???)
And according to the E-Max/SimonK ESC programming manual, these are the available parameters to be programmed:
D1: Brake type OFF (got that one), low, mid-low, mid, etc.
D2: Timing mode: Low: 0 degrees. Mid-Low: 8 degrees. Mid 15 degrees, mid high 23 and high 30. Low advance timing is recommended for high inductance and low kV motors. High advance timing is recommended for low inductance and high kW outrunner motors. If some high kV motors shake at high RPM, the High timing mode is recommended. (I'm guessing that my 810kV motor is a low kV motor?)
D3: Start Force: 13 options. Select the corresponding start force according to the load of the motor. (what on earth does that mean?) 0.03, 0.05, 0.09, .... 0.75.... 1.50 (WTF? What blimmin' units are these anyway?)
D4: Curve Mode: 4 options: OFF, Low, mid, high. Default is OFF
D5: Control Frequency: 2 options: 8kHz and 22kHz. The option is the drive frequency of the motors. (???)
D6: Low-voltage protection: 4 options: 2.8v/cell, 3.0v cell, 3.2v.cell, off. If the low-voltage protection is detected, the currently-set cutoff option (D6) will be selected. (got that part)
D7: Cutoff mode: 2 options; Soft-Cut and Cut-off. Soft: gradually reduce to 31% of current power on D6 LVC detection. (got that). Cut-off: no gradient. In the Low-Voltage Protection condition, if you push the throttle to 0% and then to 100%, the motors will be restarted. But since this is already in LVC, power will be low or zero.
E1: Low-voltage Protection: Whether to shut down the motors at once or lower the power at the LVC threshold depends on the values set as Cutoff mode, D7 (?? what??)
E2: Loss of signal Protection: Power will be gradually reduced to 0% on loss of signal and motors will be stopped. Will be restarted upon return of signal. (I'm guessing OFF for this one!)
E3: Overheat Protection: over 100 degrees C, power lowered to less than 75%. Over 105 degrees, down to 50%. over 110 degrees, down to 25%. Over 115 degrees C, power down to 6.25%. Full power resumes when system temp falls below 100 degrees C.
So you can see that only P3 in the Naza manual has a corresponding control point on the ESC, which is D1.
Everything else doesn't match at all.
[This is not my first build and yes, I do know what most of the parameters mean, in and of themselves. I'm just having a hard time with the Chinglish, and also with the fact that whatever language these people are in fact speaking, they don't seem to be speaking the same language to each other - at all.]
Bottom line, I can't seem to draw any equivalence at all between the two systems.
Is there any?
What can I safely set to default and thereafter ignore?
Thanks!
Best
