ESC32 2r1 user manual - version 0.0
Important note from ESC32 creator Bill Nesbitt about current levels attainable:
“I am sure the first question will be how much current can they handle. The truth is that I don’t really know. According to their data sheet, the FETs are capable
of 160A continuous. As a practical matter, there is no way you could come close to dissipating the amount of heat that would be generated at those levels. With
large heat sinks you could probably run them over 50A continuous, but without any heat sinks the limit will be significantly less. In the end, the limiting factor is
simply cooling. If you can get them into some prop wash or rig some sort of small heat sink your results will get better. I’ve been flying them for for more than 6
months with no heat sink at all, but my machines typically weigh less than 3Kg.”
1. Assembly of ESC32:
Autoquad ESC32 comes as a “SMT-preassembled” kit. This
means the endusers need to add all connections by themselves.
This will give you the highest flexibility in configuring the ESC32
to your exact needs.
Kit contents:
• ESC32, SMT-preassembled and factory tested board.
• 25 cm servo wire with open end.
• Input power wires
• 330uF/35V lowESR capacitor
• 1*6 pin header for UART
It´s up to you to configure the wiring so it fits your needs and
frame.
