5. Орнотуу жана орнотуу

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your ESCs. Follow these steps carefully:

5.1 Зымдарды туташтыруу:

1. Мотор туташуусу: Connect the three motor wires to the three output pads/wires on the ESC. The order of connection determines the motor's rotation direction. If the motor spins in the wrong direction, swap any two of the three motor wires.
2. Кубат туташуу: Connect the red wire (positive) and black wire (negative) from the ESC to your flight controller's power distribution board (PDB) or directly to the battery connector, ensuring correct polarity. The ESC supports 2S-6S LiPo input.
3. Сигнал байланышы: Connect the signal wire (typically white or yellow) from the ESC to the corresponding motor signal pad on your flight controller. The ground wire (black, often twisted with the signal wire) should also be connected to the flight controller's ground.

5.1-сүрөт: A single ApisQueen 35A BLHeli_S ESC with its pre-attached wires. The thicker red and black wires are for power input, while the thinner twisted black and white wires are for the signal connection to the flight controller.

5.2 Монтаждоо:

Mount the ESCs securely to your drone frame, ensuring they are protected from vibrations and potential impact. Use appropriate mounting hardware or double-sided tape. Ensure adequate airflow around the ESCs for cooling.

6. Иштөө нускамалары

The ApisQueen 35A ESCs come pre-flashed with BLHeli_S firmware, offering advanced features and configuration options.

6.1 BLHeli_S Configuration:

To configure the ESCs, you will need to connect your flight controller to a computer and use the BLHeliSuite software (available online). This software allows you to:

• Микропрограмманы эң акыркы версияга жаңыртыңыз.
• Change motor direction (if not done by swapping wires).
• Adjust various parameters such as motor timing, startup power, and PWM frequency.
• Calibrate throttle range (though Dshot protocols do not require traditional throttle calibration).

Refer to the BLHeliSuite documentation for detailed instructions on using the software.

6.2 Throttle Protocols:

These ESCs support multiple throttle signal modes:

• Dshot150/300/600: Digital protocols offering high precision, strong noise immunity, and no need for throttle calibration. Recommended for optimal performance.
• PWM: Standard analog pulse width modulation (1000µs-2000µs).
• Oneshot125: (125-250µs) Faster analog protocol.
• Oneshot42: (42-82µs) Even faster analog protocol.
• Multishot: (2-25µs) Very fast analog protocol.

Ensure your flight controller is configured to output the desired throttle protocol that matches the ESC's capabilities.

7. Техникалык тейлөө

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your ESCs.

• Текшерүү: Periodically inspect the ESCs for any signs of physical damage, such as cracked components, frayed wires, or burnt areas.
• Тазалоо: Gently clean the ESCs with a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Avoid using liquid cleaners unless specifically designed for electronics and ensure the ESC is completely dry before powering on.
• Байланыштары: Check all solder joints and connectors for secure attachment. Re-solder any loose connections.
• Жылуулук башкаруу: Ensure ESCs are not consistently overheating. If they are, check for proper airflow, motor issues, or consider reducing propeller size/pitch.

8. Кыйынчылыктарды

If you encounter issues with your ApisQueen 35A ESCs, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

8.1 Motor Not Spinning / Irregular Operation:

• Байланыштарды текшерүү: Verify all motor, power, and signal connections are secure and correctly wired.

• Учууну башкаруучунун конфигурациясы: Ensure the flight controller is sending the correct throttle signals and that the motor outputs are mapped correctly.
• BLHeli_S Settings: Connect to BLHeliSuite and check ESC settings. Ensure motor timing is appropriate for your motor.
• Электр камсыздоо: Confirm the battery is fully charged and providing adequate voltage (2S-6S LiPo).

8.2 ESC Overheating:

• Аба агымы: Ensure ESCs have sufficient airflow for cooling. Avoid enclosing them in tight spaces without ventilation.
• Propeller Size/Pitch: Overly aggressive propellers can draw too much current, leading to overheating. Consider smaller or lower-pitch propellers.
• Мотор маселелери: A damaged or inefficient motor can cause the ESC to work harder and overheat. Inspect motors for damage.
• Кыска туташуу: Check for any intermittent short circuits in the motor windings or wiring.

8.3 ESC Not Responding:

• Кубат текшерүү: Verify the ESC is receiving power from the battery.
• Сигнал текшерүү: Ensure the signal wire is properly connected to the flight controller and the flight controller is powered on and functioning.
• Firmware Corruption: Attempt to re-flash the BLHeli_S firmware using BLHeliSuite.
