Re: I2C ESC (Can I use the values in motor array?)
Hi, the Motor Values inside of MWC are scaled from ~1000-2000 (mincommand-maxthrottle in the config.h) you should do ((motor[0]-1000)>>2) to get 0-250 and BTW. I2c on MK isnt much faster then PWM .. yes the i2c bus it selve workes with 400kHz but thay do a delay of 1ms for sending the values to each...

Hi,
MWC does both. reducing the power on one side and increasing it on the other one .. so it doesent matter in which way you do it.
.. see the mix tables... every gain works in both directions..

Hi,
in gyro mode MWC wont recognize that it is upsidedown .. its just the same as normal flight .. so im sure there is nothing that needs to be changed (beleve me i and warthox tested it)
i think level mode is not needed when you want to use that..

as you can use a fixed cycletime of something like 2.1 ms it should be much more easy.
btw. this would be a real advantage of the stm32

Re: one shot PWM
Hi,
more then 499Hz are not possible because you cant do a 2ms dutytime over 500hz .. and there must be some "low" time between the signals so the ESC knows that it is still a signal. 488 is a good value for standard PWM.
ill try some more things with one shot PWM
