These are very nice but I baught one a few month ago to use in my new quad and there is a problem using this with the APM platform. This ESC uses what X Aircraft calls Ultra PWM protocol. The ACM uses a std PWM protocol and I am still trying to work with this unit and see what it takes to make it work properly with the ACM. If anybody that is an elec. gooroo can help with this all in ACM world would have this great upgrade.

Just FYI, there will be a DIYD offering coming up eventually...

Yes, we have one and never got it to work. We decided to do our own. Stay tuned...

UltraPWM should be just regular PWM at a higher frequency.
Is there any info on their website/wiki? (google translate if you must...)

Please Chris, update us! Tease us with some pictures or something. I was also thinking about one board with four ESC's. Three out of four UBEC's are not used in the current situation.

Fokko....you're not alone.... even on the developer's call we hear nothing about this stuf....until...suprise! Here's some new hardware.... Please write software for this.....I suppose DIYd operates like any big corporation.  The only difference being DIYd goes straight to production at that point.

the store mentioned something about ESC a week ago?

Comment by Fokko Driesprong on June 15, 2011 at 5:49am

Great! Looking forward! :-) Looks like there is no UBEC on the board. Nevertheless single LMZ14203 can do the UBEC job :-)

Ok this is nice. But what happens when one fail?

Comment by Fokko Driesprong on June 15, 2011 at 6:21am

Dionh. This is also possible with regular ESC's isn't it?
