Well, it takes no more power to watch for it at any time, so perhaps just movement in the desired direction for long enough to be more than just a...

Hi Dan, You are right. The i2c and uart inputs jump to rc_do_scale after receiving the input, which is already after the code that sets brake_want. I suppose that could...

Hello! I had considered this before, but so far I have found that the lag induced by the filtering hasn't really been the cause of any problems, just a few...

Hello! Hmm.. Is the ESC operating at an unexpected frequency? No matter the board, we expect to run at 16MHz, unless F_CPU is changed.

Hello. You can't just try different versions, particularly without a current-limited supply, since the wrong target can immediately break the FETs as a result of cross-conduction through the high and...

The problem with using the USB power is that it's not enough to test-drive a motor. The problem with using a LiPo to test is that if it's wrong, it...

Hello... No proper start-up beeps, then? That sounds like there is another problem. You should still get three beeps even with no signal. Those ESCs typically have a low-pass RC...

If the MCU has the default oscillator fuses, it runs at 1MHz and make low frequency beeps, which are pretty obvious. :) That hardware bridges PD0 (RXD) and PD2 (INT0),...

Hello! Yes, I've had to use U2X before for 115200 on those boards, since the error is too high otherwise. This is already in the code under DEBUG_TX, commented out...

I can't recall, but I think I have from ESC to host for debugging. There will be less error with multiples of the oscillator. See the ATmega8A datasheet ( http://www.atmel.com/Images/Atmel-8159-8-bit-AVR-microcontroller-ATmega8A_datasheet.pdf...
