Elite Falcon ESC

  • FALCON/IBEX ESC RELEASE NOTES: VERSION 1.10

Elite EX5 Serial Bus & Servo Channel Expander

  • EX5 RELEASE NOTES: VERSION 1.04
    • Improved compatibility with JETI EX Bus 24-channel mode.
    • Added PowerBox P2Bus support on Rx1/Rx2 inputs, including telemetry.
    • Added stabilization gain tuning. Using spare Bus channels, it allows you to assign up to 3 channels to control the stabilization gains of each model axis during flight. After you assign the channel operated e. g. by a potentiometer, the behavior will be similar to a standard gyro:
      • Potentiometer in the middle (0% ~ 1.5ms) effectively disables the stabilization since all gains will be set to zero.
      • Potentiometer to the left (< 1.5ms) activates the “Heading Hold” mode. o Potentiometer to the right (> 1.5ms) activates the “Normal” mode.
