The All-at-once ESC calibration mode simply causes the autopilot to pass Here is a video demonstrating the process: Set the throttle to minimum and disconnect the battery to exit Test that the motors spin by raising the throttle a bit and If the long tone indicating successful calibration was heard, theĮSCs are “live” now and if you raise the throttle a bit they should Throttle has been captured and the calibration is complete. The ESCs should then emit a long tone indicating that the minimum Pull the transmitter’s throttle stick down to its minimum position. 3 for 3S, 4 for 4S)Īnd then an additional two beeps to indicate that the maximum

Alternatively, you may manually set the MOT_PWM_MIN to 1000 and MOT_PWM_MAX to 2000.īegin this procedure only after you have completed the radio control calibration and Connect ESCs and motors part of the Autopilot System Assembly Instructions. Note that if you change the end-points on your TX you must re-do the Radio Calibration. Some brands of ESC do not allow calibration and will not arm unless you adjust your radio’s throttle end-points so that the minimum throttle is around 1000 PWM and maximum is around 2000. The section at the end on ESC settings is still applicable, however. If you are using a digital esc protocol like DShot or are using CAN ESCs then you also don’t need to calibrate them, so skip this page. Some ESCs like the DJI Opto ESCs do not require and do not support calibration, so skip this page completely. Refer to PWM, OneShot and OneShot125 ESCs for setup of the ESC protocol ( MOT_PWM_TYPE) according to your type of ESC. Well for most ESCs, so it is good idea to attempt it first and if thatįails try the “Manual ESC-by-ESC” method. ESC calibration will vary based on what brand of ESC you are using, soĪlways refer to the documentation for the brand of ESC you are using for
