BLHeli32 Dshot not finding ECS with passthrough

Thank you.the main pwm can be used for other purposes right?

BLHeli mask for an OCTOROTOR is not 15 it’s 255

For examble I asked for Quadcopter.sorry

yes, they can.

just more words

cuav v5+ has 16 pwm pins total out of then i try to configure 8 for Dshot and i masked then also but its only 4 pins accepted as Dshot and remaing pins are still PWm only.

Did you set https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parameters.html#brd-pwm-count BRD_PWM_COUNT to 8?

Yes pwm count set it as 8 only.

Can you retest with github master branch ?

Arducopter 4.1.0 beta3 version?

No, latest from today

Sure I will test it now and I will get you.

same result only cant enable dshot

What does the message report when you set MOT_PWM_TYPE to a Dshot protocol and 0 for SERVO_BLH_MASK?

Aux Channels 7&8 do not support Dshot, From the Hwdef file:

PWM AUX channels
PE14 TIM1_CH4 TIM1 PWM(1) GPIO(50)
PA10 TIM1_CH3 TIM1 PWM(2) GPIO(51)
PE11 TIM1_CH2 TIM1 PWM(3) GPIO(52)
PE9 TIM1_CH1 TIM1 PWM(4) GPIO(53)
PD13 TIM4_CH2 TIM4 PWM(5) GPIO(54)
PD14 TIM4_CH3 TIM4 PWM(6) GPIO(55)
we need to disable DMA on the last 2 FMU channels
as timer 12 doesn’t have a TIMn_UP DMA option
PH6 TIM12_CH1 TIM12 PWM(7) GPIO(56) NODMA
PH9 TIM12_CH2 TIM12 PWM(8) GPIO(57) NODMA

No X8 with Dshot for you with this Flight Controller.

This setting I have to check .

Ok thank you for your clear idea why it’s not supportable.

Cuav nano and x7 will supportable?

X7, yes.
https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-cuav-x7-overview.html
From what I can tell the Nano is just a smaller version of the CUAV5 so I would say no to that also.

I know Nora will work for sure because I helped a friend setup an X8 with one and he was running 8 iFlight ESC’s with Dshot.

From the above documents link says that X7 and X7pro supports 12dshots.

You are right, sorry. I’ll edit that post.
