ESC32 current live monitoring during calibration

[fabietto_91]

Hi all!
I'm new to Aq forum!!

I bought 6 ESC32 from flyduino, I have done the calibration of CL successfully, using GCS 1.3 and sunnysky x4108s 380kv and 16"props on 4s.
But, I saw some video on Youtube of ESC32 calibration done with command line in Linux, they can see LIVE ON SCREEN the pwm jump and the max current used for that jump-
I'm a Windows user, but Windows GCS don't show those parameters, it only runs the calibration routine, but i cannot know how many current is involved.

Can I see the current draw by motor during CL calibration using GCS 1.3 in Windows?

I know that i can hook up an amperometer directly to lipo.. But the esc 32 have the current sensor, so why use an external device?


Thank you for any advice.
Thank you

Ok, at this point I think it's better rephrase the question:
it's possible register a log from esc32?
(without using CAN bus, because I haven't yet an AutoQuad controller... maybe later...)

In the page of QGC 1.3 dedicated to esc 32, there is a "start log" button , but it does nothing. What is it?
Thank you for any advice.

Fabio
the cal logs are written to the QGC folder anyway.

You can use command line tool the same as under linux box.

Thank you all for reply.

I was thinking to calibrate my ESC32 with Sunnysky x4108s 380kv, with 16"prop and 5s lipo, but fortunately I have read this discussion


My esc uses two 25v 220uF capacitors in parallel (I recieved those caps from flyduino, togheter with esc32)......
Disaster avoided with 5s!! I'll burn everything with 25v cap..

Now I'm planning to use two 330uF 63V for use on 5s, 30cm from esc to battery... I hope to avoid any trouble..

Thank you again.
