DShot ESC

DShot is an alternative ESC protocol that has several advantages over PWM or OneShot:

  • 지연 시간 감소
  • 체크섬을 통해 안정성이 향상되었습니다.
  • 프로토콜이 디지털 인코딩을 사용하므로, ESC 보정이 필요하지 않습니다.
  • 텔레메트리 피드백은 일부 ESC에서 사용 가능합니다.
  • 필요시 명령어로 모터 회전 방향을 병경할 수 있습니다 (물리적으로 와이어를 이동/재 납땜하는 대신).
  • 다른 유용한 명령어들이 지원됩니다.

이 항목에서는 DShot ESC 연결과 설정 방법을 설명합니다.

Wiring/Connections

DShot ESC are wired the same way as PWM ESCs. The only difference is that they can only be connected to the FMU, and usually only to some subset of pins.

INFO

You may want to check the actuator configuration screen to see what pins are available for DShot on your controller before wiring up!

Pixhawk controllers with both an FMU and an IO board usually label them as AUX (FMU) and MAIN (IO), respectively. These match the PWM AUX and PWM MAIN output tabs on the actuator configuration screen. For these controllers connect the DShot ESC to the AUX port.

Controllers that don't have an IO board usually label the (single) output port as MAIN, and this is where you will connect your DShot ESC. If the controller without IO has its own firmware, the actuator assignment will be to the matching PWM MAIN outputs. However if the same firmware is used for hardware with/without the IO board, such as for the Pixhawk 4 and Pixhawk 4 Mini, then actuator assignment tab used is the same in both cases: PWM AUX (i.e. not matching the port label MAIN in the "mini" case).

설정

WARNING

Remove propellers before changing ESC configuration parameters!

Enable DShot for your required outputs in the Actuator Configuration.

DShot comes with different speed options: DShot150, DShot300, DShot600 and DShot1200, where the number indicates the speed in kilo-bits/second. You should set the parameter to the highest speed supported by your ESC (according to its datasheet).

그런 다음 배터리를 연결하고 기체의 시동을 켭니다. ESC가 초기화되고 모터가 올바른 방향으로 회전하여야 합니다.

  • If the motors do not spin in the correct direction (for the selected airframe) you can reverse them in the UI using the Set Spin Direction option (this option appears after you select DShot and assign motors). You can also reverse motors by sending an ESC Command.

ESC Commands

Commands can be sent to the ESC via the MAVLink shell. See here for a full reference of the supported commands.

가장 중요한 것은 다음과 같습니다.

  • Make a motor connected to to FMU output pin 1 beep (helps with identifying motors)

    sh
    dshot beep1 -m 1
  • Retrieve ESC information (requires telemetry, see below):

    sh
    nsh> dshot esc_info -m 2
    INFO  [dshot] ESC Type: #TEKKO32_4in1#
    INFO  [dshot] MCU Serial Number: xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx
    INFO  [dshot] Firmware version: 32.60
    INFO  [dshot] Rotation Direction: normal
    INFO  [dshot] 3D Mode: off
    INFO  [dshot] Low voltage Limit: off
    INFO  [dshot] Current Limit: off
    INFO  [dshot] LED 0: unsupported
    INFO  [dshot] LED 1: unsupported
    INFO  [dshot] LED 2: unsupported
    INFO  [dshot] LED 3: unsupported
  • Permanently set the spin direction of a motor connected to FMU output pin 1 (while motors are not spinning):

    • Set spin direction to reversed:

      sh
      dshot reverse -m 1
      dshot save -m 1

      Retrieving ESC information will then show:

      sh
      Rotation Direction: reversed
    • Set spin direction to normal:

      sh
      dshot normal -m 1
      dshot save -m 1

      Retrieving ESC information will then show:

      sh
      Rotation Direction: normal

    :::note

    • The commands will have no effect if the motors are spinning, or if the ESC is already set to the corresponding direction.
    • The ESC will revert to its last saved direction (normal or reversed) on reboot if save is not called after changing the direction.

:::

텔레메트리

일부 ESC는 다음을 포함하여 텔레메트리 측정데이터를 비행 콘트롤러로 재전송할 수 있습니다.

  • 온도
  • 전압
  • 전류
  • 누적 전류 소비
  • RPM 값

이러한 DShot ESC에는 추가 텔레메트리 와이어가 있습니다.

이 기능을 활성화하려면(지원 ESC에서) :

  1. 모든 ESC의 모든 원격 측정 와이어를 함께 연결한 다음, 사용하지 않는 비행 콘트롤러 직렬 포트의 RX핀 중 하나에 연결합니다.
  2. Enable telemetry on that serial port using DSHOT_TEL_CFG.

재부팅 후 다음을 사용하여 텔레메트리 작동 여부를 확인할 수 있습니다 (배터리가 연결되어 있는 지 확인).

sh
dshot esc_info -m 1

TIP

You may have to configure MOT_POLE_COUNT to get the correct RPM values.

TIP

Not all DSHOT-capable ESCs support [esc_info](e.g. APD 80F3x), even when telemetry is supported and enabled. 결과 오류는 다음과 같습니다.

sh
ERROR [dshot] No data received. If telemetry is setup correctly, try again.
