Re: Alternative ESC firmware (reflashing)

Ziss, I have find 1 bug.... if I slowly decrease the input down to 900us (with servotester) The motor is making (little) sound (startup active?). If I decrease fast everything is shut down correctly. I use pwm_fast_100.inc and will you chance in Qynx20A.inc : #define DbgLEDOff sbi PORTD,2 #define Db...

Re: Add datas to GUI for PID tuning

I use Ziegler–Nichols for PID calculation.... When I set the tune bit, I tune Gyro pid with AUX2 and level PID witch AUX1 Then With AUX3 I save the PID settings in EEprom.

About your test fligh: Is it with standard RC range or with extended range? I have changed my software to extended for the test, but I think 100 steps is enough, if I can make some time I make a good test (outdoor with wind).

Re: Alternative ESC firmware (reflashing)

Schematic Qynx ESC

original designed for pwm on positive site and RC_PWM on ICP input

The 3 10N caps in the feedback are placed extra for working with rev. 3 of Ziss dm version......

Maybe not needed in rev.4 , have to test this tomorrow.

@ziss_dm adding them, 1N to less (do nothing) 47N start OK but with high speed losing sinc. 10N ok, smooth start and current ok. try tomorrow the adjusted ZC filter, may be I can remove the caps..... this evening I post my schematic. For my quad board this ESC software works very well......... Rob

I have it fixed with 10N capacitors in the feedback.

if I read your post, ik think the problem is your ESC ,
if you decrease the P the problem is less but still there (try it)

Re: Very difficult time tuning quad !

@ tosjduenfs

I have test many ESC with my Qynx board (with 500Hz PWM) I had big problems with Multiplex ESC and castle creations.
I have discovered that the Multiplex Esc I have test are the same software as Castle Creations.

So you can be sure the problem is the Castle creations ESC's.

Re: brushed motors

Yes you can, but not directly,
You still need a brushed controller. If the PWM output in the Multiwii software is modified you can drive
directly a Mosfet(s).

But its easiest to use brushed controler.

If PID settings are low I think the problem are the ESC´S.

what kind of ESC you use? (type and settings)
