Hello Team Spirit,

I have a Spirit RS flybarless unit. It incorporates a Jeti receiver.

I want to set up the throttle calibration for a Hobbywing 120 A. To do this, the ESC needs to see 100% throttle value when it is initialised. The Spirit RS, like many other flybarless units, for safety sends a 0% throttle value until it has completed the power on self tests. This means the ESC won't go into calibration mode.

What is the procedure to do this for the Spirit RS and Spirit GTR units?

Thanks for your assistance.

Hello,

you can calibrate throttle in the same way as with a receiver. It is enough to set linear Throttle curve to 0 - 100%.
It is only important to turn off governor in the Spirit if it is enabled.
However if you will set the following, then calibration of the HobbyWing is not needed if it has factory defaults - it was not calibrated yet.

Throttle Range - Min.: 1100 us.
Throttle Range - Max.: 1940 us.

Then it will match perfectly to HobbyWing.
