Understanding RCOU and Max Speed

[firebblade (sok pars)]

Hello ,

i have t-motor M501 300kv motors which in their specs write max 5000 rpm.

1. In the RCOU i see max value of 1600, is there a way i can make that number correspond to the specific motor min-max rpm ?

2. Can i see from the logs the presentence of the motor throttle? e.g. was the 1600rpm with full throttle ?

3. from the GPS.speed i see max speed 6m/s , is that the way to see the ground speed?

4. Are there any settings to tweak to make the copter faster? the only parameters i see for setting speed is for WayPoints

Thank you for your time,
Best!

RCout is not RPM it’s the commanded PWM to the ESC. ESC Telemetry or Bi-directional Dshot will provide RPM when configured properly.

Yes.

There are several parameters that control speed starting with ANGLE_MAX.

Thank you for your reply Dave,

ill read on input shaping parameters.

Best!
