AM32 ESC Firmware - BLHeli competition

Support my work / pawelspychalski
AM32 ESC instead of BLHeli_32? Years ago, BLHeli was a novelty, and you had to flash it manually over previous firmware. Let's take a look at a new, open-source AM32 ECS firmware created by AlkaMotors. Does it even work?

I would like to see more of this. I like open source projects. Please make a video about how to flash to AM32.

[@laimonas100]

I'm also interested

[@airhogfpv1283]

Oh, I am so hyped about this topic! Love to see more about this! Real good video Pavel!

[@marlin-fpv]

Motors feeling smoother because of erpm related PWM instead of stick related like in blheli. In blheli you need at least 1.8%-2% throttle applied in order to make the motors spin. With am32 they spin at .1% already.

Pretty interesting, Pawel!!! 😃 Great to see new players in the market! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@jlarson42]

I agree, competition is important. Happy flying. 🤓

[@FlyturboKwad]

Good job to you Sir!

[@sharpdesigns09]

This is very relevant now that blheli is dead! Thank you for all you do for the community!

[@serenestateofbeing1062]

Exactly I just bought my first am32 stack, the skystars f7 mini I at least have a bl32 f7 fully updated so I'm lucky, it's already got some rust on it though 😢

[@Johsun87]

Interesting Pawel want to hear more 🥳 🇸🇪

[@hugochiang1072]

You are welcome!!!

[@t0tobi]

Very interesting project. I never really enjoyed how BLHeli controls the Motors, like Kiss much more. If this is more like Kiss but on open Hardware, that would be cool.

[@hondo86]

Sounds interesting! Will you make a follow up video with blheli with similar motor timing?

[@AlfredBroda]

While I was watching the introduction I was wondering "what can be better about ESC firmware"? And you kind of answered that question after the flight - power efficiency. I hope you get the time to dig deeper about extended flight time on your Pirx, maybe compare to your previous setup? You got me really curious.

[@everythingquads]

I think its a great start. Open source will accelerate the development, at time of posting this comment, there has already been 24 forks of the repository. I can see this in the near future being a real alternative to the closed source blhele32.

[@fly_code7755]

Hope they make hglrc or mamba target!!! Can't wait to 3d with am32

[@hugochiang1072]

We have hglrc targets

Anything new about the AM32?

[@MatthewTaylor3]

He only rolls to the left, and makes mostly left-hand turns

[@DronePlayground]

👍👀🇭🇷

[@LeuRne]

curious to know you setting on the AM32 . Im gonna try: Bi directionnal activate Timing advanced 22.5 motor kv 20 (wondering if i should put 1800kv here?) motors poles (2207 motors so 14 magnets...??) startup power 50 PW frequency 48 what do you think? Not so many option to configure

[@alkamotors158]

I would try it with stock startup power and leave variable Pwm on.

BLheli32 Takko32 escs on 6 inch badger quad I'm getting bad frames in BLheli32 config on each esc no matter what esc protocol I use. What's causing this.

[@FPVUniversity]

too long cables, too much electrical noise in the setup, poor soldering. Something around those areas

[@ChristopherF_1971]

@@FPVUniversity Thank you for replying! So having any bad frames in BLheli32 config is not good at all?

[@ChristopherF_1971]

@@FPVUniversity it's the AIO Kakutef7 HDV board. Not sure if that's just the problem

[@mgbfpv]

Hi Pawel. Are you using AM32 currently? is it safe to use daily? I don't want to burn my only 4in1. Thanks.

[@FPVUniversity]

Yes, I have AM32 in my fav. 3" quad. Works like a charm

[@dcliffe8539]

when is 2.6 coming :)

[@Fleche_FPV]

What news about this now ? I bought skystar 20x20 am32 and this is not smooth !!! 🤣

Isn't a kiss a competition to BLHeli?

kiss is very far from open source and tightly related to their hardware

[@PiotrMarkiewicz]

@@FPVUniversity yeah, from that perspective you are right

[@qdrk_fpv5951]

It only supports like 3 models of ESCs right now, lol

[@alkamotors158]

Most _32 designs are supported by one of the targets. More names will be added!

[@FPVUniversity]

looking forward to it! Also, please make a wiki page on flashing bootloader
