Castale Talon 35 over current on braking
« on: November 22, 2023, 08:02:47 AM »
I have setup my Castle Talon 35 ESC braking for .1 sec delay and hard brake. Doing a test all was well but once it braked to a stop it gave a long beep and short beep. During the run it only pulls about 17 amps so I assume the hard brake is doing it. Since this is only for a short time is this OK to live with or should I reduce the brake setting or give longer delay before it applies it?

Try staying with the hard brake. Change your brake delay to .3 and your brake ramp to fast or very fast. I have used those setting for a long time and found them preferable to very hash settings. I think this is all we really need and it is more than fast enough.

Update: I found out that it was not on braking that it was going over current but on startup. I was trying to get the fastest start spin up to get the ship up to speed quicker on takeoff. I increased the start spool-up to custom 7 and the starting motor power to 80%. This was what gave the over current situation. I later made things worst by increasing this to spool-up at high - 8 and start power to 90% this caused a over current shut down. I remember having this happen on my Ringmaster setup so looked back at my notes and found that these two settings should be a medium for both. Reset and did ground test with no issues or ESC beeps.

I got out for a full test flight. All was set and the weather was holding (was supposed to be raining all weekend) so I figured I would see if I could get the fight in. Flight went as planned, motor start was smooth and solid the whole flight with a clean cut off. No ESC beeps or signals for over current.

Seems the good starting point for any of the Castle Creation ESC's is to set the start spool-up rate and motor start power to medium, current cut off can be set to normal with hard cutoff. This is what I call the Fox 35, 10x6 prop, 5%N Superfuel set up, it is reliable, simple and easy to set up.
