Would love to see a remake of your 7 month old video 55A ESC Testing, BL32 vs BLS vs BJ vs AM32. Basically at minimum the chapter on responsiveness. With a second or the same Skystars KM55A ESC but with the firmware ESCape32 (you can change firmware allegedly back and forth.). The reason I ask for this. There is a video comparing motor revving between BL32 and ESCape32. And it is amazing. ESCape32 could possibly be the best choice for 3D mode. I also received this Skystars ESC 2 days ago and will try to try ESCape32 next month. But I don't have a measuring lab at the moment to make an objective comparison to show it...

ESCape 32 is for wheeled vehicles.

@Sugalime3D_FPV 29 күн бұрын

@@cinemoriahFPV You're right. It was developed specifically for vehicles and excavators because the developer was dissatisfied with the responsiveness of BL32 and BLS. You can see this explanation in the comments of the video in question. However, the developer and FPV University (Pawel) also say this, it can also be used for quadcopters. And they claim that quadcopter pilots have apparently already told the developer and Pawel that they think it's better than AM32. Check the FPV University video about ESCape32. As far as I understand, it's an open source project. It could be that 2 forks will develop from this, one firmware that further develops the vehicle area and one that further develops the quadcopter area. If that will even be necessary... I see you have Cine in your nickname. Did you know that the PID controller does its job better when the motor reacts more quickly? That means ESCape32 could also be better for Cinema FPV than AM32. If it is realky true that ESCape32 is faster...

@@Sugalime3D_FPVPlease note that most Skystars ESCs have PB4 as input which is not supported by ESCape32 in case of the AT32F421 and GD32E230 chips and will require a hardware hack.

@Sugalime3D_FPV 28 күн бұрын

@@senyxv Ah ok. You already wrote something like that to me in your Motorstartup video. But it's good that you're writing it here too, for the readers. I have a Skystars AM32 KM55A Mini that I'm going to flash to ESCape32 in the near future. As far as I can see, it has STM32F051 and PB4. So I assume it doesn't need a hardware hack. If not, that wouldn't be a problem because I wanted to build an AM32 quad for comparison anyway. But it's good that you mentioned it normally! Because if I really do switch everything to ESCape32 in the future, I'll have to be careful what I buy. Unfortunately, the product descriptions often don't say in the specs exactly which chipset is used. If I find that I like ESCape32 better for 3D mode than others, I will definitely register everywhere to report bugs and make suggestions... How about, for example, writing this hardware hack information as an intro to the target compatibility list. You could also list all known ESCs that require a hardware hack, of course it should be very clear and visible that they require it...

Active braking IS very helpful stopping the prop on a wing for landing, saves props.

@pfeerick 28 күн бұрын

Active braking is different to (prop) brake... active braking allows the ESC to somewhat force the motor to slow down if you lower (not cut) the throttle... whereas (prop) will stop the motor when you cut the throttle. You can have the brake enabled, and not have active braking. That's why Chris specially said you want brake enabled on wings, but not quads ;)

Hello Chris I have started racing at one of my local chapters. Long story short I have a goal to reach to top 200 or maybee 100 in the world at next years IO . I am a huge advocate of your frames and motors including this ESC even before this bl heli32 ordeal. My whole fleet is AOS. That being said i am going to proove to the world that AOS has a place in racing. Thank you for what you have done for us. Take care !

I think for emergency disarms brake on stop is actually really useful. If I'm about to crash into a person and know that on disarm the props stop spinning just a few ms later, this is still enough time not to cause any cuts with their inertia. So I'm having this on on all my quads actually.

Mehh, if the prop blade points down and you have a hard brake on it, snap! I just let it mill and if the blade points down usually it turns aside keeping the prop in one piece.
