Jdrones ESC programming and settings.

Posted by emile on October 21, 2011 at 6:04am

Hello, I was wondering if the JDrones ESC's are compatible with the turnigy programming card. It looks like they are (I have successfully connected the esc and read the settings), but just wondering if anyone had the chance to modify their parameters with such card.

Assuming they are, I've noticed that the timing setting is set to low. Is this normal? Usually ESCs have their timing to Normal so what happens if I put it to Normal as my Turnigy escs?

BTW I never had issues with such setting on my turnigys using Arducopter.

 

Thanks for any reply.

Cheers,

Emile

    Thanks for the reply Jani.

    Just another quick one: I'm setting up an arducopter for a friend, all standard components and I've noticed that the esc that gives power to the board (through the PDB) gets quite hot while sitting still and gets even hotter while the motors are running.

    Is this the expected behaviour?

    Tha APM+IMU has nothing other than the receiver attached. Just wondering, because I have never experienced ths in my (short) experience with other ESCs and Arducopter.

    Cheers,

    Emile

    Maybe I can reveal that a bit as we know them really well. They do not have same software running inside as Turnigy but yes you can use TGY card to tune those ESCs.

     

    But please do be careful when changing settings as their original settings are outside the limits what programming cards can do in generally.
