I actually just flashed my nephew's tinyhawk (1s version) to Blue Jay and he says that it flies SO much better and has more power than it ever had before. He's been flying the same quad for 2 years. On the same tune and firmware. So the change was welcomed. He also said now it more enjoyable to rip around and he can see himself progressing faster now that he has more control and POWA!!!!!!

Can I also use this software to reprogram a BL Heli ESC to work as a car ESC? Coz I have a really tiny RC car which I'm tryin' to do a brushless swap on and the only ESC I found that was small enough to pair with the motor I have was a Graupner ESC Ultra 7A BL Heli S (the 2 - 3S version). I just couldn't fand any car ESCs that small so I was hoping I could just reprogram that ESC with regular forward / backward throttle and be done with it.

Happy to support developers but give us options for supporting your work.

Just a heads up ' You might have to re-assign motor directions in the Bluejay configurator if any motors were reversed before flashing . The configurator set all my rigs motors to normal direction by default when I switched over.

Had the identical experience and I had them right before flashing

@PmJ727272 2 жыл бұрын

Nice point! Also happened to me but want to give a heads up If in betaflight you have the motors reversed, then you should leave the settings on the ESC as normal, because from what I saw on my quad, if you put reversed on the ESC configurator and reversed on Betaflight, the go back to normal, my guess is betaflight reverses it and then the ESC reverses it back to normal, so in most cases having it on normal after flashing should be ok if you configured the motors with betaflight Still always test on the bench with props off and see the direction to where they spin

Hey Joshua, I just flashed blue jay onto a flywoo f411 aio and then betaflight 4.3 rc4. It took the esc firmware just fine and i had fun setting a startup tone but once i went out of the configurator and back into betaflight and turned on bidirectional dshot motor 4 shows 100% error and so i went back into blue jay configurator and motor 4 no longer shows up. not sure what to do, Ive tried everything i can think of to get it to show back up again. Any thoughts?
