Hi, I have a problem, I bought a Pixhawk 6X v2B board, 100kv motors, 40A ESCs, Flysky FS-i6 remote, FS-I6B receiver, and other components. I started programming everything in the QgroundControl application, everything went well except calibrating the ESCs. Does anyone know what I can do to calibrate these drivers?
“40A ESC’s” doesn’t tell us much but use Mission Planner to configure an Ardupilot based craft. If they are generic ESC’s using PWM protocol use the semi-automatic method of calibration. All in the Arducopter Wiki.
I just done calibration of 4 Hobbywing ESC’s today. Using the page shown in your screenshot and following the instructions in the box seen on the right.
But I actually used QGC v.5.0.4.
Maybe your version of QGC doesn’t fully support your FC?
(Mine is the earlier Pixhawk 6X)
…else just do as Dave suggests.
what ESC drivers did you use, can you send me a link to purchase?
You need to have suitable ESC’s for your project.
No use one of us telling you what we use, if it not happens to be suitable for your project.
There are hundreds out there for all all sort of battery and motor combinations.
- Is your battery 3S, 6S or something different?
- How much electrical current is each motor drawing?
- Need / want something with a fast update rate or don’t care?
- Need / want something with motor speed feedback?
- …and the list goes on.
You will find a lot of helpful information in the documents.
Also, many quality ESC’s come with documentation explaining the best calibration process for your type of ESC’s.
