Welcome to etx-Tools for EdgeTX

ESC configuration apps for RotorFlight v2.1 when used with an ESC supporting bi-directional telemetry
Thanks to Mike W. and Diego A. and many others for the endless hours of testing.

** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK **

Requirements

• Supported ESC
  • YGE
  • Scorpion Tribunus II
  • HobbyWing v5
  • FLYROTOR
• RF2 v2.1

Half Duplex mode

• most ESCs use 3 wire telemetry cables with 1 signal wire and require one-wire (half-duplex) for bidirectional telemetry
• what this means...
  1. half-duplex mode requires the ESC to be connected to the TX pin (vs RX) of the RotorFlight flight controller
     • modify the telemetry cable OR...
     • enable pin swap for the ESC sensor
     • # master
       set esc_sensor_pinswap = ON
  2. enable hald-duplex mode for the ESC sensor
     • # master
       set esc_sensor_halfduplex = ON

Supported ESCs

• YGE and Scorpion Tribunus II have been in general use locally for some time and are considered mature
• HW v5
• FLYROTOR
• others in the works

YGE support

• configure FC and ESC telemetry protocol as "OpenYGE"
• requires ESC firmware 1.03551 or later
• ESC can be configured at any time, no restart required e.g.
  • bench setup or adjustments in the pits
  • flight-line adjustments of internal governor PIDs etc.
    Land. Adjust. Fly. Repeat.

Scorpion support

• configure FC and ESC telemetry protocol as 'UNC'
• requires Tribunus ESC firmware v63 or later
• ESC waits for ~ 10 seconds after power on after which telemetry data stream starts and ESC will not respond to telemetry commands until restarted
• ESC must be restarted for changes to take effect and for telemetry to resume, 'Restart ESC' menu option available
• user must open app AND enter one of the configuration pages ASAP after connecting the power ie suitable for...
  • bench setup or adjustments in the pits

HobbyWing support

• configure FC telemetry protocol as 'HobbyWing v5'
• requires Platinum 5 ESC, tested with PL-04.0.11 and current version PL-04.1.02
• ESC can be configured at any time, restart required - ESC must be power-cycled e.g.
  • bench setup or adjustments in the pits
  • ** 'Restart ESC' menu option may appear in the future.
    This would allow flight-line adjustments if using a buffer pack / capacitor bank etc.

FLYROTOR

• configure FC telemetry protocol as "FLYROTOR"
• requires ESC firmware 1.0.2 or later
• ESC can be configured at any time, no restart required e.g.
  • bench setup or adjustments in the pits
  • flight-line adjustments of internal governor PIDs etc.
    Land. Adjust. Fly. Repeat.
