The open loop stepping can run slower than what this esc will handle closed loop, but open loop will start skipping steps under load unless its perfectly tuned to the motor and has some amp feedback. I'm gonna cheat and add sensor input on my hardware

Ok so I have 2 Tutorials to share on this. I made one specifically for the Airbot Wraith32 35A v1 ESC and the other was translated from Chinese and might work on other esc's but I think its more for quadcopters.
I believe my tutorial is pretty straight forward, and everything you need to know is there, with out having to guess at all. Please let us know how it goes or if I need to add more information. Or if you encountered problems.

The firmware has some flaws still, its not going to work perfectly on all motors, there are limits of what can be done with this type of hardware but for some of the HH revolvers it works very well. I use a 1000kv and 1400kv in a couple of my rigs. I am not sure what type of performance you will get with the stubby revolver.
As far as i am concerned this is only the beginning ! Lots of new things on the horizon too.

Any news on this awesome project? :)

SO - My query is, could I piggyback a trinket or similar micro/nano arduino onto the fpv single esc for additional functionality and maybe easier programming/tweaking? They have bluetooth variants so tweaking through an app could become a possibility down the road. On a simpler level Im thinking about things like aux channel drag brake % tweaking or even throttle responsive led lighting.



Im just dipping my toes in here so apologies for relatively naive wonderings. I grew up dicking around with rc and programming and am recently recovering from a serious fpv quad addiction. So I have a little bit of a basis to go off of for all this, but am still wading into unknown waters.



Im absolutely stoked to see this kind of development happening. Ive been dreaming of an opentx style sbus radio and esc/driveunit offering for surface rc ever since I started getting in to fpv quads. Also something not so stupidly overpriced.

Can this firmware be loaded from bl heli 32 suite configurator with a flight controller pass through?

This is an awesome project! I personally LOVE the sound of my revolver. I just want a 4s ESC... will this firmware work on any BLHELI32 esc?

Hello!

I am newb in blheli esc and trying to figure out how to do it.

Could you please help me or redirect to description or video for beginners? Im going to try configure esc for crawler.



1) Hardware:

I have st-link, RacerStar Tattoo 30A (not delivered yet), 360kv outrunner, UBEC to power servos and receiver.

What additional hardware do i need? As i understand, i need Racerstar StarF4S or usb serial adapter to install the firmware. I suppose adapter is better for me as i am not going to deal with quad-copters.

What is usb serial adapter? How can i choose right one? Could you give a link to aliexpress, for example?

I found "TZT CH340 Module USB to Serial Port for arduino","USB to serial port module CP2102" 5 pins out (5v/3v3/txd/rxd/gnd). "Silabs blheli usb adapter" 3 pins out (s/ /gnd).

What does mean modified for one wire?

Also i found tutorials how to connect blheli esc using arduino Nano. Does it work with ESC_Config_Tool?



2) Steps:

a) Choose right bootloader and firmware or i will brick esc. https://github.com/AlkaMotors/AM32-M...orted-Hardware found RacerStar Tatoo 8A, so i guess i need PA2 bootloader and SISKIN_1.65.bin

firmware.

b) Connect ST-Link and RacerStar Tatoo 30A to PC.

c) Using STM32CubeProgrammer erase esc memory and install bootloader.

d) Connect StarF4S/usb serial adapter(???) and RacerStar Tatoo 30A to PC.

e) Using ESC_Config_Tool_1_68 install fimware.

What did i miss?





UPD

I found scheme how to connect 5 pin usb adapter to blheli. So i guess 5-pin, 3-pin adapters and arduino nano all are useable

I'm following the directions on Alka Motors Github but I cant get an esc to connect to Cube Programmer. 2 different escs, wires soldered to SWC and SWD, connected to STlink correctly (I even slid the aluminum case off and looked at the board directly to make sure I had the correct pins), battery connected and plugged in to the computer. It seems to recognize the STlink but will not connect when I hit the button.

Might be the stlink is a bust...it happens ..just try another one.

The stlink serial should be a dozen digits. If the stlink software only shows 1-3 digits for the sn there is a driver/software issue, and you won't be able to connect. Also a stlink with a solid red light is often a dead stlink.

I would try pluging the stlink into the usb port. Open device manager and find the stlink and uninstall the driver. Then Uninstal the stlink program. Unplug the USB and any unnecessary hardware before restarting an reinstalling the stlink program.

I never had this issue but it has been an issue talked about in the am32 chat a few times.
