RE: Control 4 x ESC (4xBrushlessEngine with 4 ESC) with a PropellerProtoBoard


hi,

i working on a Quadcopter.
in the moment i want develop a spin-controller for the 4x ESC's.

first i working with the ESC_Motor_Control_Demo.spin from
Gavin Garner and "Cluso99". -> please look at attachments_1.

i port this program on PST and make some modifications
look at attachment_2(QuadcopterESC_TestSystem_11.spin)

this 2 programms are running, with my Brushless-System

now i have a problem:
i don't know what i should do, for a program with 4 ESC-Outputs
output-pins: 4,5,6,7
positions[4] -> 0..3
please look at attachments_3: QuadcopterESC_TestSystem_2.spin

please help me or give me some tips and hints for this problem
.-( i have a little understanding assembler ;)
on OBEX i have seen some stuff, but i want only a simple ESC_program

excuse my bad english

nomad

    nomad: Sorry I don't have time to check your code at the moment. Perhaps someone else can chime in.

    hi cluso99
    thanks for your reply
    your Programm ESC_MOTOR_CONTROL_DEMO.spin works fine with 1x ESC, not with
    4x ESC
    in the meantime, i hope to develop some programms
    1) verry old stuff from 2007 with escValues 80_000 to 130_000
    2) with the Servo32_v3.object or similar
    3) with the PWM_32..... object
    regards nomad

    my problem to control 4x ESC is solved
    with OBJECT: Servo32.spin
    escValues: 1_000 = engine off
    1_625 = engine run
    in the moment: 2_000 is for Tests too fast.
    as attachment my new program: escTest_31.spin

    regards nomad
