[NSRCA-discussion] Hacker ESC programming

[Fred Huber]

RE cutoff...

3.0 is the lowest you should use.... only use it if you can't get through the sequence using 3.2/cell.

The higher your cutoff (if thats your indicator to land..) The longer (more cycles) your batteries will survive.  thats the whole point of the cutoff... prevent destroying batteries.

Not that some of the higher C rated batteries are now recommending no lower than 3.2 v/cell.  Read the info on your batteries.  Obey THAT.

  C50 14XL Comp and Comp controller, TP 5300 batteries, APC 20.5 X 14, drawing 65 amps at full power

  Timing is 3 (that's where Andrew and Jason told me to set it)
  Acceleration is soft (only affects from dead start)
  Throttle curve is logarithmical with my radio (14MZ) set to -26 expo 2 (personal preference from experimenting)
  Don't remember where my cutoff is, I seem to recall 3 volts per cell but I'm never anywhere near it anyway.

  Hope this helps

  Verne

    OK it's a little quiet and I really do not understand some of the setting available in the Hacker ESC programmer.

    I have both the standard C50 14 XL and the comp version.  I assume that these settings are similar for other ESC's as well.

     

    Timing:  0-5 recommended for Hacker but what is optimal and what does changing it actually do J

     

    Acceleration:  What setting is everyone using?  Does this setting only affect a start from being stopped, or at all times?

     

    Throttle curve:  Is anyone using expo or logarithmical?

     

    What cut off voltage is appropriate for our current draw?

    I assume most people would use slow down at the cut off voltage and not instant stop.

     

    Thanks,

    Stuart
