I think for emergency disarms brake on stop is actually really useful. If I'm about to crash into a person and know that on disarm the props stop spinning just a few ms later, this is still enough time not to cause any cuts with their inertia. So I'm having this on on all my quads actually.
Would love to see a remake of your 7 month old video 55A ESC Testing, BL32 vs BLS vs BJ vs AM32. Basically at minimum the chapter on responsiveness. With a second or the same Skystars KM55A ESC but with the firmware ESCape32 (you can change firmware allegedly back and forth.). The reason I ask for this. There is a video comparing motor revving between BL32 and ESCape32. And it is amazing. ESCape32 could possibly be the best choice for 3D mode. I also received this Skystars ESC 2 days ago and will try to try ESCape32 next month. But I don't have a measuring lab at the moment to make an objective comparison to show it...
@@cinemoriahFPV You're right. It was developed specifically for vehicles and excavators because the developer was dissatisfied with the responsiveness of BL32 and BLS. You can see this explanation in the comments of the video in question. However, the developer and FPV University (Pawel) also say this, it can also be used for quadcopters. And they claim that quadcopter pilots have apparently already told the developer and Pawel that they think it's better than AM32. Check the FPV University video about ESCape32. As far as I understand, it's an open source project. It could be that 2 forks will develop from this, one firmware that further develops the vehicle area and one that further develops the quadcopter area. If that will even be necessary... I see you have Cine in your nickname. Did you know that the PID controller does its job better when the motor reacts more quickly? That means ESCape32 could also be better for Cinema FPV than AM32. If it is realky true that ESCape32 is faster...
@@cinemoriahFPVESCape32 is general purpose ESC firmware. Many happy drone pilots use it quite successfully. Personally, I fly my iFlight BLITZ 4in1 ESC with it, and it works very well.
@@Sugalime3D_FPVPlease note that most Skystars ESCs have PB4 as input which is not supported by ESCape32 in case of the AT32F421 and GD32E230 chips and will require a hardware hack.
@@senyx0 Ah ok. You already wrote something like that to me in your Motorstartup video. But it's good that you're writing it here too, for the readers. I have a Skystars AM32 KM55A Mini that I'm going to flash to ESCape32 in the near future. As far as I can see, it has STM32F051 and PB4. So I assume it doesn't need a hardware hack. If not, that wouldn't be a problem because I wanted to build an AM32 quad for comparison anyway. But it's good that you mentioned it normally! Because if I really do switch everything to ESCape32 in the future, I'll have to be careful what I buy. Unfortunately, the product descriptions often don't say in the specs exactly which chipset is used. If I find that I like ESCape32 better for 3D mode than others, I will definitely register everywhere to report bugs and make suggestions... How about, for example, writing this hardware hack information as an intro to the target compatibility list. You could also list all known ESCs that require a hardware hack, of course it should be very clear and visible that they require it...
Hello Chris I have started racing at one of my local chapters. Long story short I have a goal to reach to top 200 or maybee 100 in the world at next years IO . I am a huge advocate of your frames and motors including this ESC even before this bl heli32 ordeal. My whole fleet is AOS. That being said i am going to proove to the world that AOS has a place in racing. Thank you for what you have done for us. Take care !
@chra your current limit slider has a bad setting you need to slide the slider back to 0 and them back to full to fix it. changing versions some times corrupts. the settings
Active braking is different to (prop) brake... active braking allows the ESC to somewhat force the motor to slow down if you lower (not cut) the throttle... whereas (prop) will stop the motor when you cut the throttle. You can have the brake enabled, and not have active braking. That's why Chris specially said you want brake enabled on wings, but not quads ;)
Chris, I have a hexsoon650 and I changed the esc's out with holybro tekko am32 esc's. sometimes when I arm the quad one motor gets "stuck" with a squeal. I will have to disarm and rearm and sometimes it will start and sometimes it won't. May take a few attempts to get the prop spinning. Any idea as to why? Start up power is at 100%, should I increase it?
Mehh, if the prop blade points down and you have a hard brake on it, snap! I just let it mill and if the blade points down usually it turns aside keeping the prop in one piece.
I compiled a AM32 firmware for my own test 4 in 1 esc, but I set DEAD TIME incorrectly, thank to DC protector it just goes really hot without blowing up. How should tune the DEAD TIME without really got my ESC DEAD?
AM32 still feels like an unfinished product. On my test bench it behaves in unexpected ways, the configurator site has several obvious bugs, 3D mode doesn't work for me
Anybody have a good recommendation for a am32 20by20mm esc that is less than 30mm in the corners , i don't care how long the part that you wire the power leads is just what fits between the standoffs of the Flywoo Explorer LR 4 v2 frame, I'm also concerned about low weight. I'm going to be using the flywoo 1404 2750kv motors and 4 inch biblade props and a Holybro Kakute H743 mini flight controller for Arducopter. Can anyone please help me?
@@ChrisRosser I think sendorm actually asked about the reverse... AFAIK it's essentially impossible to flash an AM32 ESC to BLHeli32 (even if the ESC originally had BLHeli32 on it) - no-one's managed to "hack" BLHeli32's bootloader.
@@stevietee10 I meant if you have an AM32 ESC and you want to put BLHeli32 on it - that's basically impossible. But the reverse is quite possible (just complicated) as Bardwell showed.
I'll just leave this here: ruclips.net/video/zIUSYx_Ohqo/видео.html - just carefully look through the comparison and see how sluggish BLHeli_32 looks comparing to ESCape32. Literally changing motor spin direction on a dime.
Excellent video, Chris! Thanks a bunch for all the info! 😃 But yeah, BLHeli32 going away was more than unexpected... 😕 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I legit felt bad for you, knowing how much work you put into that BLHELI_32 video just for them to bail on us the day after.
I thought same.... right after he dropped that super in depth video. Murder yijrs was good too and then bl heli 32 just chucked the duces
too real murders
Brilliant opening, Chris. I can imagine.
Tell me about it 🤣
@@ChrisRosser Must be sorta how I felt when my local 'puter shop stopped stocking C64 titles back in the day. Goodbye, my sweet, sweet tech. . .
Fantastic content. Thanks for sharing! :D
Thanks!

Excellent work Chris. Thank you for the very detailed information and opinions. Much appreciated.
You should make a video checking out ESCape32
Thank you so much for the video Chris,
RIP BLHeli_32
Thank you. This was very helpful. 👍
excellent vid!! very detailed to include the roasting!! thanks!
Hello Darkness, My Old Friend. So apropos. Thanks for doing this.
Great Chris! as usual :)
Thanks Chris now when I get a am32 esc I will be able to set it up 👍👍👍👍
Can't wait for the 2nd video.
Thank you... Great video... L8r to all and to all: have a great day...
Been waiting on this 😊
I cannot find the link mentioned in the video about the tutorial to flash AM32 on a BLH32 ESC.

Active braking IS very helpful stopping the prop on a wing for landing, saves props.

You can have the brake enabled, and not have active braking. That's why Chris specially said you want brake enabled on wings, but not quads ;)
@@pfeerick Thanks. I was wondering about that.
15:42 I have xinge pro 1800kv and I would set on 1800kv or I can make more like 1900?
that new configurator do be looking sweet imo 😏
Chris, I have a hexsoon650 and I changed the esc's out with holybro tekko am32 esc's. sometimes when I arm the quad one motor gets "stuck" with a squeal.

Here is the video some people need.😊
Active braking is super benificial with wings or belly lander plames...having that prop stop spinning will help u break alot less props
Mehh, if the prop blade points down and you have a hard brake on it, snap! I just let it mill and if the blade points down usually it turns aside keeping the prop in one piece.
Only beneficial for folding props.
How do you adjust the LEDs?
As soon as quadmula gets frames in stock im doing a new 5 in and 3.5 build and gonna need this info for both builds
Why would your “Port Select” and “Read” buttons be green when mine are red? Also my sliders below are red when most of yours are green? Thanks
Few typos on that flash firmware warnings bit
Is there a configurator available for Simonk? I cant get kkmulticopter to work.
So.. my Lumenier 60a esc's I bought 2 years ago.. havent used yet.. can I flash those or just leave them with what they got (bheli32) and good to go?
Would this be good setup for freestyle quad? About to build new bando basher with am32 and i got zero experience from that
I compiled a AM32 firmware for my own test 4 in 1 esc, but I set DEAD TIME incorrectly, thank to DC protector it just goes really hot without blowing up. How should tune the DEAD TIME without really got my ESC DEAD?
What is beetah filight?
Hey Chris. Thanks for this video.
Do you think its safe to use AM32 with X8 Lifters? “Just your thoughts”
I'm in need of a new esc, since my last one burnt out. Do you have any recomendations for 6s?
AM32 still feels like an unfinished product. On my test bench it behaves in unexpected ways, the configurator site has several obvious bugs, 3D mode doesn't work for me
You know what would be the best. Tuning for a lightweight battlebots

No and I do not advise attempting this. If you want to try out AM32 then I recommend buying an AM32 ESC.
