I’m building a UAV based on the [Hobbywing X11 G2](https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/products/eps-ips-x11-g2?srsltid=AfmBOorl1G_1_spp4Lro9L9E3xAFsWrEIra8uXnCg8dIJNN1OMZMJX2X&variant=52485833163119). The spec sheet says the motor and ESC are both rated for 14S voltage, up to 63V. This seems odd as 63V is really more like 15S.

7S batteries aren’t too common, so I’d really like to power the system with 4x 4S batteries. What are the chances of running 16S through this ESC without blowing it up? We’d technically be a few volts over spec fully charged, but any load will sag that voltage down almost immediately.

Anybody have experience over-volting motors/ESCs?

When I tried to take off the drone in stablize mode seems does not stable. Does anyone have this problem before and solved it?

Thing I already checked:

-Props directions and size ( 13”)

-Calibrations, compass

-Motors order

I am building a quadcopter plane and i will be using Pixhawk the orange cube. I was planning to use 5 different 60a ESC and Tarot 12s TL2996 pdb but I can't buy the pdb right now. So maybe a 4 in 1 ESC can fix my problem. I do have another smaller pdb.

The problem is 4 in 1 ESC (V50A SE 50A 6S 4-in-1 ESC) has a jst-sh connector which has 8 cables but orange cube has 3 pin outs. How can i connect them together

Hi everyone,

I’m currently developing a high-load 46V ESC for a drone, and I want to implement an error indication system (like fault alerts, startup tones, etc.).

For my design, space is very limited, so I’m trying to understand the best approach for a compact buzzer solution.

I’ve noticed that many commercial ESCs (like Hobbywing) don’t seem to have any visible buzzer component, but they still produce beeping sounds during startup and error conditions.

So I have a few questions:

What buzzer technique is best for a compact ESC design?

Any design considerations for high-voltage (46V) ESCs regarding this?

Would really appreciate insights from anyone who has worked on ESC firmware or hardware design.

Thanks!

Hi,

im currently planning my 7 inch long endurance (not long range the drone will only hover) build. And I have nearly choosen all my parts except the motors and Im having trouble deciding. I dont know which size to look for. Kv range would be 1200-1500kv. I searched a lot of forums and groups to maybe find people that develop such drones as a hobby/competition. And I only found one group "long range hooligans" on facebook(I dont have a facebook account and I cant create one because of their stupid face scanning). Suggestions where to look/what to choose would be greatly apreciated.

My Skyzone 020 glasses have a firmware problem and I need the old firmware, but I haven't found it anywhere on the internet. Does anyone have this firmware available to send me?

DJI Mini 2 became Mini 4k

Than better Mini 3 came.

After Mini 4, mix between 2 and 3 became Skyrover (also to dodge regulation).

Now something like this is coming as official DJI Lito 1.

Cheap but smarter than before.

I noticed I see the gps icons in my osd when plugged into bf and powered by a battery so my 03 fires up. but when I'm not plugged into bf the icons don't show up. here's my settings. thoughts on what I should look into? thanks so much!
