# Oneshot
|
||||
|
||||
Oneshot allows faster communication between the Flight Controller and the ESCs that are present on your multirotor.
|
||||
|
||||
It does this in two ways:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use a signal that varies between 125 µs and 250 µs (instead of the normal PWM timing of 1000µs to 2000µs)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Only send a 'shot' once per flight controller loop, and do this as soon as the flight controller has calculated the required speed of the motors.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported ESCs
|
||||
|
||||
At present, only the FlyDuino KISS ESCs are able to use the Oneshot125 protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Boards
|
||||
|
||||
The Naze boards are supported, and have been flight tested in a number of configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
CC3D boards have been tested with a PPM receiver, however parallel PWM receivers might not work properly with this board.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enabling Oneshot
|
||||
|
||||
To configure Oneshot, you must turn off any power to your ESCs.
|
||||
|
||||
It is a good idea at this stage to configure your ESC for oneshot mode (by soldering JP1 in the case of the KISS ESC).
|
||||
|
||||
Connect a USB cable to your board, and connect using the Chrome GUI app.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to the CLI tab, and type the following:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
feature ONESHOT125
|
||||
save
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then you can safely power up your ESCs again.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The process for calibrating oneshot ESCs is the same as any other ESC.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your ESCs are not powered up.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Connect to the board using a USB cable, and change to the motor test page.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Set the motor speed to maximum using the main slider.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Connect power to your ESCs. They will beep.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click on the slider to bring the motor speed down to zero. The ESCs will beep again, usually a couple of times.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Disconnect the power from your ESCs.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Re-connect power to your ESCs, and verify that moving the motor slider makes your motors spin up normally.
