UltraESC Configuration
Download: UESC Config v1.1 & Windows DriverAttention! on google chrome v33 thay changed some of the serial lib commands. this version will work with it: Chrome app GUI update
It requires a current installation of Java. Windows driver installation-help
Properties
1: Port selection. On Windows, you can find the correct port in the device manager. Warning - the controller must be plugged in before the Config Tool is started. Furthermore, the controller is not powered from the USB port for safety reasons. So it has to be connected to external power supply.
2: Minimum signal to the controller to turn sharp. (throttle low)
3: : Maximum signal (full throttle)
4: Signal level at which the engine is started.
5: soft start. Delays the revving. For Multicopter it should be 0 to 5, 10 to 30 are appropriate for surface models (note - if you put the throtlle on a switch, you should take rather 30) and for gear motors or helicopters 50+ are appropriate.
6:braking force. This setting is only for the "normal" brake (if the engine is off). 0 means brake = off.
7: Motor's direction of rotation.
8: Active freewheeling. If the active free-wheeling is set, the regenerative braking is always activated simultaneously.
9: : type of input signal (RX_PWM means "normal servo signal")
10: Type of PWM input signal (speed - 50 to 500 is "common")
11: Motor's PWM frequency.
12: Motor timing. 15 degrees have proven to be a good balance. Higher or lower, you should only choose if you know what you are doing.
13: Lipo protection specifies at what percentage the motor at the threshold voltage ( Slow at voltage) to be throttled. If the threshold voltage is 0, the protection is not active.
14: Throttle threshold voltage. (0 is disabled)
15: Voltage at which the motor is to be stopped. (0 is disabled)
16: Read settings from the controller. (This only works as long as the live data is inactive)
17: Save the settings to the controller. (This only works as long as the live data is inactive)
18:I ² C address of the controller (7-bit)
19: Forward / reverse run. If this is
activated, the motor can turn forward
or backwards. This also affects the gas
(throttle) signal for arming and
starting. If for example "MINCOMMAND" is set to 1000 and "AT
START" in 1100, the signal for arming
will be at 1450 to 1550. Above and
below the motor starts ( above it is the
actual direction of rotation below
reverse).
CAUTION:
This function can be used for 3D flight
with Multicopters.
BUT: despite many tests and good
results we NEVER can guarantee that
always all motors turn at the same
speed! Therefore, this application is
ALWAYS at your own risk!
You must also consider when making
quick turns the high load. Frequent
changes of direction may cause 2 to 3
times the load compared to normal
use.
4S Lipo & Reversible (3D Multicopter)
With 4S Lipo and Reversible mode (3D flight), you should use 2 capacitors in parallel. we had good results with 2x 330uF 35V (low ESR) elkos on the UESC20A.
20: Display of the input signal (only if live data are active)
21: : Closed Loop. If "CL_MODE" is
active, the controller (after calibration)
attempts to couple linearly the engine
speed to the input signal . I.e. it gives
more gas when the motor is braked,
and reduces the gas with external
acceleration.
If the closed loop is activated the first
time, the calibration is always
automatically active. Calibration can
be reactivated using "CALIB_CL".
The calibration process: The engine
should be calibrated like it will be used
later. I.e. use that load (propeller /
gears) and the operating voltage.
Once in the config, the calibration is
activated, the engine must be started
again. You should slowly open the
throttle until the engine has run briefly
on full throttle.
In this run up to speed is automatically
reduced and the controller will automatically turn off after completion
of the calibration off (disarm) until the
gas signal returns below to the start
signal. Thereafter, you can set control
mode by P and I. P represents the size
of steps of adjusting and I the force
the correction is maintained.
22: : Live data. are activate by "START_LIVEDATA". (As long as live data are on, _no_ settings can be read or stored.)
23: magnetic poles of the motor. In order to display the correct speed, the magnetic pole number of the motor must be set here.
Driver Installation (Windows)
Windows XP - 7:
Simply type the path to the
UltraESC.inf in (this is inside the config
folder UltraESC)
Windows 8:
1 note the following steps, because
you must restart.
2. Move the mouse (on the desktop) to
the upper right corner of the screen
and extend the menu.
3. click on settings and there to change
PC settings.
4. click here General and then under
Advanced Start to restart now.
5. selects troubleshooting.
6. select advanced options.
7. -> Startup Settings
8. Restarting .. wait until a selection
window opens.
9. choose number 7 ( Disable: Force
Driver Signature deactivated)
10. Now you can install the driver (like
at winXP or 7)
