    did you do these tests with 16/24-128 with the min of 16 and the max of 128, or did you do 16 as the min, and "by rpm" as the max? I ask because if you did 128 as the max, you are scaling linearly through the throttle which can cause mid throttle oscillations as you cross the resonant frequency with the motor eRPM and pwm rate. If you did the test with 16-byRPM, then you will avoid the resonance crossings, but likely never got over ~40khz pwm because it's just riding above that resonance crossing which never really gets too high. In order to avoid the eRPM/pwm frequency problems, most users are best off choosing something like 36 or 48nas their min, and having 128 as their max. This will scale linearly through the throttle, but will always sit "above" that nasty rpm/pwm resonance crossing.

    @dutchfpv7010 2 года назад +4

    This is an amazing evaluation. Some of the results confirm some 'against the grain' things I and others believe, while some completely shock me. What is most clear though is that there is a tenuous relationship between hardware and software. That is to say that that outcomes you would expect from the programming side don't exactly follow suit in real world application. For example 24khz PWM frequency delivering the fastest overall 'in/out' response? 16deg timing is more responsive than the sacred 23deg? Say whaaaaat? That said, I agree with others that I'd love to see this evaluation on a 2207 motor. Something with starkly different stator proportions. Clearly there is some physical x-factor derailing our predictions of how we think things should be. So I think testing more motors with a broad range of physical attributes is the next step, to see if any trend emerges. I'll just also note that I know some very good racers that have always sworn that 24khz PWM feels best. And that 16deg timing feels best. And few who are sold on the idea of 96 and 128khz. So its interesting that when we put these things to scientific scrutiny, these things fall out, even when they're not intuitive. It an important lesson in trusting what feels good over the latest hype and specs. This is such an excellent evaluation. Thank you so much Chris and please give us more!

  • @chrisburke63
    @chrisburke63 2 года назад +3

    Love the scientific approach! However this advice conflicts with existing ESC recommendations when it comes to avoiding desyncs. Seems like your settings are closer to the "ideal" setup, but depending on the motor/prop/esc it could cause desyncs?

    • @ChrisRosser
      @ChrisRosser  2 года назад +2

      I think the only setting that would affect that is timing and 16deg is the default and pretty safe in my experience. If you have desyncs with 16deg then increasing timing certainly may help!

    • @tehllama42
      @tehllama42 2 года назад +1

      From a more pragmatic perspective, going from 16-23° on timing can reduce desyncs, basically as it's reducing the peak torque demand (somewhat indirectly), and along with moving to 48kHz PWM, the overall effect is noticeable as far as D term being slightly 'softer', in that I want more D gain to achieve the same tune with a very locked in setup comparing PtB runs... but that difference is pretty small.
      For somebody that spends more time at higher throttle ranges, the higher timing also works out to being preferable, especially since responsiveness isn't my only goal. 31° timing makes more to end power, but isn't terribly robust or efficient, so the 'ideal' answer would be dynamic timing and dynamic PWM, but getting that dialed in is going to vary by deadtime multiplier and motors, which makes that tricky for an ESC MFG to set them perfectly from the factory

    Great information! While you did qualify that this advice was for 2004 motors - you're not concerned that these conclusions are overly broad given that voltage/kv and esc deadtime could all influence these stats? Some ESCs have deadtimes that are like 3 times that of others and entire batches of certain Mamba ESC's have had serious power delivery issues.

    • @waldemarkraus2855
      @waldemarkraus2855 2 года назад

      Exactly my concern (see my post). Rampup Power can be different on different ESC's. That's already known. Also overpropped motors will benefit from higher rampup power.

    • @ChrisRosser
      @ChrisRosser  2 года назад +1

      I'm not particularly concerned because the timing and ramp-up power recommendation is the default in BLHeli32 anyway so they are very very very well tested settings that most pilots are probably already using. If people have issues on the stock settings then increasing timing and reducing ramp-up power etc. may help.

    • @tehllama42

      @CesiumSalami 2 года назад +1

      @@tehllama42 You're 100% correct on that. And the amount of work doing these tests for even a single ESC is pretty immense for a side hustle. And annoyingly with bl32 (unlike _S), you can't even know the deadtime of an esc without possibly consulting a spec sheet but more likely using your own oscilloscope... mostly just the one size fits all approach might need some qualifications for ESC's like, one of the Aikon's for example, that has a super long deadtime where performance drops off a cliff with increased pwm. maybe i'm being silly about a nuisance that affects a very small subset of people though.

    • @tehllama42
      @tehllama42 2 года назад

      @@CesiumSalami Sounds like Chris's latest result is that at least motor size small bumps don't disrupt the findings overall - I do feel like there will be some deadtime dependencies on what cPWM range really makes the most sense, and that it'll be slightly tied to what timing and motor inertia is there. 31° is definitely how to make the most power, but 16° being better at low RPM can fully explain the responsiveness metric in this case. Dynamic-everything promises to be the best of all worlds, but so far 32.8 has been more problematic than those added features and associated benefits can justify to me (and I was cramming 32.6.6 onto quads as early as I could)

  • @waldemarkraus2855
    @waldemarkraus2855 2 года назад +1

    Now do the test with a overpropped motor. The result will be quite different. Hope the most guys here take this with a grain of salt. Autotiming for example can lead to desyncs, same goes to 16° timing on bigger motors. Autotiming is also only more efficient on a thruststand at certain throttle values were the motor only sees static load. In a dynamic environment like during flying, autotiming can give you worse results. On my 7" 16° seems to be the most efficient setting, that's interesting result seeing your test. Variable PWM can produce heavy noise on certain throttle positions due to aliasing effects, check out the Blheli32 thread on RCgroups. 48khz fixed PWM can not be recommended on bigger overpropped motors like 2806.5 with 7x4x3, due to massive lack in torque on zero throttle situations. Any fixed pwm value can induce noise, it's better to try different settings on different builds.
    Just my 2 cents, hopefully not everyone will just use your recommended settings on every quad he has and wondering why it's suffering from random desyncs.

    • @CesiumSalami
      @CesiumSalami 2 года назад +1

      Absolutely - while I do actually have 7" builds on 48khz and get good results depending on the motor/esc (i actually do run 48khz on a very fat 2507 7" build ... but not the point...!) You do get those occasional builds where someone, for various reasons that linear pwm scaling causes vicious aliasing that catches you not at one but seemingly multiple places and it's a big deal on 7" stuff since you may cruise at single throttle setting for a long time. The "By RPM" variable pwm and 24khz low setting for 7 and 8" or a higher low pwm rate for 5" stuff is really stellar and more reliable across various setups kv's, throttle limits, motor output limits, etc.... I honestly wouldn't waste time with this variable pwm that's not "By RPM" based like is available in AM32 or BL32 32.8.3 - i genuinely think that the linearly scaled variable pwm option is just bad (period) for real world applications. It's outcome is highly variable given the setup and application vs. "By RPM", which really isn't as much.

    • @ChrisRosser
      @ChrisRosser  2 года назад +1

      If you are having desyncs increasing timing can certainly help. I would agree that PWM frequency by RPM is the best and it should give pretty similar results to linear as you will still be at high frequency at high throttle and low frequency at low throttle. The comment on overpropped motors is interesting. I'll be sure to give that a go.

    Great Video!
    Which is more efficient? Motor A with higher kV and auto timing or motor B with lower kV, but higher timing, if both produce the same power at 100% throttle?
    I think A, but if anyone can test that, you can. Maybe by varying the voltage instead of using different kvs.

    Was the variable PWM used the linear variability (setting the min and max), or did you set the min and use the 'BY RPM' for max? I'm assuming the linear setting since BY RPM doesn't seem to get up to max in most cases.
    What kV were the ECO II 2004 motors, 1600kV?
    Also what version of BLHeli_32, 32.8.3?

    This actually makes me feel quite good about my mostly pragmatism-driven suggestion to run 48k fixed, 23° fixed, 25% Rampup/Startup with low demag on everything, because it does quite well overall. I suspect taller motors, and particularly tests that focus a bit less on that

    • @ChrisRosser
      @ChrisRosser  2 года назад

      Yeah, I think it shows that the received wisdom is pretty good. Maybe a small benefit to going to 16deg and 30-40% rampup. And 16k-byRPM on ESCs that can do that. But the benefit is going to be modest (but maybe still worth having).

      @@ChrisRosser This reflects really well on the developers, as stock settings are really pretty justifiable across the board, especially for slightly larger stuff on average.
      Once BL_32 is truly stable with dynamic PWM and dynamic timing, then there is finally a justification for the price premium on those ESC's in my mind, but as alluded to elsewhere, the deadtime multiplier sensitivity to that is going to need some sorting out as well.

    Thanks chris very interesting video.
    Would it be possible to run another test where you can verify your results in a more like real flight situation. I'm thinking that you can run the motor and esc for a longer time from a recorded blackboxlog from a real flight. You can scale the motor power to compensate for the static thuststand.

    • @ChrisRosser
      @ChrisRosser  2 года назад

      I worry that copying a flight log will lead to very noisy and variable signals. To be able to detect the small changes a consistent test method is really important. For long range cruising where throttle is nearly constant the slow ramp provides good efficiency information. For freestyle the sharp throttle changes give responsiveness which is the most important criteria for that style of flying. With many configurations to test it is good to be able to keep the tests short as well!

    • @Brian-S
      @Brian-S 2 года назад

      Well damn I did not expect motor timing to be so different. Very very surprised here that a lower motor timing gives more response! I would of thought higher timing means higher response. I find ramp up power to only need to be changed if you are running higher kv motors than you should for cell count. I was running 2205 2300kv on 6s with 5 inch props. It was super overpowered but when I lowered ramp up power down to 10-25% it became much easier to tune the quad.

    • @ChrisRosser
      @ChrisRosser  2 года назад

      Me too. Shocking right! Timing below 16deg gives slower response though so it deems that 16deg is close to optimal.

      For responsiveness I would agree (although the results for 16, 24 and 48 are very similar) but efficiency is better with 48K or 24-128k variable PWM so its a tradeoff.

    I'm beginning to think that all flight controllers produces the same flight characteristics. I have a 2017 cl4facing flight controller which I flashed with Emuflight. I flew it and it flew really well like my other quads. I'm in the fpv hobby for 2.5 years now and based from what I have experienced with flight controllers, what I am thinking now is that the possible differences between flight controllers are the build quality, number of pads and layout of the pads. Apology if my post is unrelated to your test. Just wanted to share what I think. Because of that Chris, can you provide at least 3 or 4 flight controllers which you think are amazingly built? ... I'll continue watching now :)

    • @tehllama42
      @tehllama42 2 года назад +1

      The FCs themselves do very little - the ESC's do play a bigger role. The difference really is processing power (F7 is nice, but F405/F411 work), UART convenience (F7 is very nice, F4's are pesky with inversion and especially F411's UART count), and sensor(s) (MPU6000 is ideal as a single unit, but dual ICM is very slightly better). That's really it, the LDO design on the gyro matters probably the most on performance, otherwise it's all about convenience factors (like JST plugs and available pins, plus more BECs than 5V are great).
      I'd honestly point towards the Talon F7-HD for 30x30 for the price right now that's unbeatable, 20x20 I still like the HW F7, Talon F7v2, or FoxeerV722 V2mini, but those are all slightly pricy.

      In a lot of ways, anything with an MPU6000 is going to be solid... and F7's are just easier to work, have more usable UARTs, with and let you run 8k/8k/DShot600, which is perfect.
