Navigate to the General, Tuning and Advanced tabs to change specific module settings

All users should visit the “General” tab before using their module

Change module settings to desired value or mode, if necessary

Click the “Save” button next to a changed setting to update it on the module

*

Any unsaved, changed setting will have a * appear next to the parameter name

*

To revert to the value currently on the motor, click the ”Check Saved Value” button

WARNING: exercise extreme caution when changing values in the Advanced tab. A bad setting
may result in a motor being permanently damaged or cause erratic behavior

Drone Setup

ˆ

Prior to connecting the modules to your drone, open the IQ Control Center to initialize (see section 2)

Set appropriate module settings using the pre-made settings at the top of the IQ Control Center
General tab (see section 7) or set your own

Set module direction (this includes both CW vs. CCW and 2D vs. 3D mode)

Set FC mode (2D vs. 3D). If FC is using dshot and in 3D mode, set this value to 3D. Otherwise
set this to 2D.

If using UAVCAN, set your UAVCAN Node ID and Node Index

If necessary, set motor PID gains in the Tuning tab.

In most cases, the default values are

satisfactory.

ˆ

Configure your flight controller to be compatible with IQ modules

Open your flight controller’s user interface

Enable Air Mode

*

This prevents the motor from shutting off at minimum throttle

*

WARNING: you may see integrator wind up when the vehicle is on the ground depending on
your FC and settings

Lower motor idle throttle (optional)

*

IQ motors do not require an idle throttle value

*

If you set this to 0, the motors will not spin when the FC is armed

Change other FC settings as you would normally

ˆ

Fasten the modules to your drone’s frame with the provided mounting screws.

WARNING: using

mounting screws that are too long will damage the motor. See the datasheet for details.

ˆ

Solder/plug in the power wires to the power distribution board

ˆ

Solder/plug in the communication wires to the flight controller

ˆ

When using an analog protocol (1-2ms standard, OneShot125, OneShot42, MultiShot) you will need
to calibrate the ESCs. See your FC’s instructions for the procedure.
