Calling all arduino programmers and users alike!
Ok guys, now that I have your attention let's talk about esc's and the sketches compiled to them... esc in reference here will be the blx100 in the 3s line of arrma vehicles...
We as a whole need a way to lower the lvc value from 3.4v to 3.2v, imo 3.4 is to high and is the main cause of needing large lipos to run these 3s rigs.. there should be no reason we need to run a larger expensive lipo to combat the lvc issue many are having... after all, we got the 3s line to keep cost's down, so stomaching a $80 battery cost to be able to get through a full discharge is ludicrous to some...
That being said, we need some arduino wizards to cure this with a compiled sketch that sets the lvc at 3.2v but retains the remaining factory data... I'm sure this can be done with a boot loader and arduino.. the question is how?
I know enough about arduino to get me in trouble, that's about it... lol... (compiling, altering sketches that exist) but how can we pull the factory compiled sketch from the unit and alter the lvc then upload the revised sketch?
Anyone here in the know? Multi rotor esc's are programmed daily by users, why do we (surface users) not have this ability at out finger tips like the quad guys?
So again, calling all arduino guru's!
