PID settings for EXT_MOTOR_RANGE

[Hamburger]

simonk flashed ESC are fine, but do not work with EXT_MOTOR_RANGE. Set minthrottle as described in config.h.

simonk flashed ESC work fine with my setup

but as you pointed out it will not work with EXT_MOTOR_RANGE ,
when I enable it with the same simonk flashed ESC , it only spins the motor when i give it full throttle.

no issues, i'll leave this option for now,

i have simon Flashed esc,,, will they do the job/work?

i enabled the option it but the motors didn’t work initially.

after applying full throttle they started to spin,

i'm asking since i see in the code

with EXT_MOTOR_RANGE
"promicro
- no support for EXT_MOTOR_RANGE atm."

i just wanted to know if this is a hardware limitation , or it will come in time/development .

its no HW limitation .. it is just not implementet yet .. i thought it wa snot needed because it has a quite high resolution in normal configuration .. but as alex said .. its also good for brushed motors .. so ill implement it soon

Hi,

I´m just a bit confused about using Ext_Motor_Range or not. ??

Its a combo of Flyduino 25A - Simonk firmware ESCs connected to Nanowii (Promicro)

Actually Ext_Motor_Range is activated in my config.h , and the copter is running absolutely normal and fine ??

Hamburger wrote that the SimonK ESC do not work when Ext_Motor_Range is activated. ?

Is it better to remove this def ?

thank you
Georg

what question is left?
for brushless ESCs: If and only if you have wii-esc flashed ESCs use EXT_MOTOR_RANGE. In all other cases, do not use it.

that is because in all MWC versions before r975 EXT_MOTOR_RANGE has no effekt on a promicro..
