Recommended arming throttle for AM32 ESCs with low-KV motors

General
1

Hi everyone,

What is the recommended arming/minimum idle throttle for AM32 ESCs when using motors below 1000 KV?

Does the recommended value depend mainly on the motor KV, propeller, and ESC settings, or is there a standard value for AM32?

I would also appreciate any reference to the relevant ArduPilot/AM32 documentation or code where this is defined.

If using PWM you would use these (default) values:

MOT_PWM_MAX,2000
MOT_PWM_MIN,1000

and if using DSHOT (preferred) then those PWM values dont matter.

In both cases you use the MissionPlanner or QGC motor test to check and set:
MOT_SPIN_ARM
for the lowest reliable start-up of all motors.
Then you set MOT_SPIN_MIN by adding about +0.03 to the ARM value.

MOT_SPIN_MIN needs to be high enough that motors wont be stalled or reversed by fast descent, but low enough that the copter can easily descend (and not keep ascending).
