  • Settings for YEP ESC?

    I've never had an ESC that needed things to be setup on it for it to work, so i need a little help getting the settings correct on this ESC.

    Here is the list of settings/options:

    • Active free-wheeling circuit mode: Freew. off/Freew. on
    • Govenor mode: Gov. off/Gov. store/Gov./fast Gov.
    • Govenor mode P-gain: 0.7/0.9/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.9
    • Govenor mode I-gain: 0.02/0.03/0.05/0.06/0.08/0.09
    • Startup speed: Heli slow/Heli middle/Heli fast/Plane slow/Plane middle/Plane fast
    • PWM frequency: 8kHz/9kHz/10kHz/12kHz/14kHz/16kHz
    • Start-up power: Auto 1~32%/2%/4%/8%/16%/32%
    • Motor timing: 0°/6°/12°/18°/24°/30°
    • Brake: off/Acro/Acro hard/smooth/middle/hard
    • Cut-off type: off/slow down/cut-off/NiMh/LiFe/LiPo
    • Cut-off voltage (LiFe mode): 2.2/2.3/2.4/2.5/2.6/2.7
    • Cut-off voltage (LiPo mode): 2.9/3.0/3.1/3.2/3.3/3.4
    • Cells: 4/5/6/7/8/9
    • Cells: 10/11/12/13/14/15
    • Special functions: Beep short/Rev./Stop/Full speed/F3A brake/Auto timing



    Mostly i have no idea what to set these to so it will work. Could someone give me some assistance on where to start?

    This will be going on a 550 with 600M motor.

    Here is my best guess at some settings:

    • Active free-wheeling circuit mode: Freew. on
    • Govenor mode: Gov. off
    • Govenor mode P-gain: N/A
    • Govenor mode I-gain: N/A
    • Startup speed: Heli middle
    • PWM frequency: 8kHz
    • Start-up power: Auto 1~32%
    • Motor timing:
    • Brake: off
    • Cut-off type: slow down
    • Cut-off voltage (LiFe mode): N/A
    • Cut-off voltage (LiPo mode): 3.2
    • Cells: 6
    • Cells: --------
    • Special functions: Beep short/Rev./Stop/Full speed/F3A brake/Auto timing
    - No idea?

    Answers in order:

    freewheel ON
    Gov OFF (if using throttle curves)
    Gov Mode P (ignore since gov is off)
    Gov Mode I (Ignore since gov is off)
    Startup speed: Heli Slow (nice slow spool up)
    PWM Freq: I usually start at 8KHz and go from there
    Start up power: seems an odd setting but leave it on Auto
    Motor Timing, Leave it on 0 for now, its basicly for fine tuning the motors revolution and effects rpm vs torque
    Brake: OFF (never use a brake on a heli!)
    Cut off type: LiPo (I presume?)
    Cut off voltage: whatever your happy with, i'd say 3v is the minimum, 3.4 to be safe
    Cells: whatever number of cells the lipo is, if its a 550 heli then I'm guessing your using a 6S lipo?
    Special funtions: Turn on "Auto-timing" and "Beep short", leave the others.

    Hope this helps someway in getting it set up

      Thanks YG!

      The 2 i can't really make sense of are the PWM and motor timing. I found a calulation for pulse width but it wasnt explained well.

      Motor timing i have no concept of what it means?
