Order Number: 731338
Product Name: Speedybee 60amp Esc
Brand: SpeedyBee
I recently purchased a Speedybee F405 stack including 60A ESC.
During configuration I was unable to set the motor protocol correctly. All the FC functions as expected. After checking Speedybee support page and using ESC-configuration I was unable to communicate fully with the ESC with two ESCs showing unknown.
I followed the Speedybee support page to address this problem by flashing the unknown ESCs with the “ignore MCU layout” flag set. However this had no effect.
Further testing with the BHeli tool showed ‘—-‘ for the ESC when trying to read settings. Again, following the speedbee support pages, this appears to be a firmware issue and can only be reflashed using external hardware.
Given the delicate soldering requirements and tiny components on the rear of the ESC I’m unwilling to attempt reflashing.
Please see problem description. Reflashing of the ESC has been attempted. Flight controller also updated to latest version of BetaFlight (this was done initially to address the MOTOR PROTOCOL error).
I’ve removed the ESC from the drone as I was wanted to look at the rear of the board to see how difficult it would be to attempt reflashing using an Arduino Nano as-per the Speedybee support website. This also means I don’t have any video/screenshots of the issue.
