• M1-M4: Motor signal outputs. Connect to the corresponding motor signal inputs on your flight controller.
• GND: Sambungan tanah.
• VCC: Voltage input from the flight controller (if applicable for signal power).
• CUR: Current sensor output. Connect to the current sensor input on your flight controller for current monitoring.
• TLM: Telemetry output. Connect to a UART TX pad on your flight controller for ESC telemetry data.

5.3 Konfigurasi Perisian

The BLS-04 4in1 ESC can be configured using either the Bluejay Configurator or BLHeliSuite software.

1. Connect your flight controller to your computer via USB.
2. Open the chosen configuration software (Bluejay Configurator or BLHeliSuite).
3. Follow the software's instructions to connect to the ESCs.
4. Configure settings such as motor direction, PWM frequency, and other parameters as required for your specific aircraft and flight controller setup.
5. Save the settings and disconnect.

6. Arahan Operasi

Once the ESC is correctly installed and configured, it operates in conjunction with your flight controller.

1. Ensure your flight controller is properly configured and calibrated.
2. Connect a 3-6S LiPo battery to the XT60 connector on the ESC.
3. The ESC will initialize, typically indicated by a series of beeps from the motors.
4. Arm your aircraft via your remote control. The motors are now ready to spin.
5. Control motor speed and direction through your flight controller's commands, which are then translated to the ESCs.

The ESC supports various throttle modes including PWM, Oneshot125, Oneshot42, Multishot, and Dshot. Ensure the selected mode in your flight controller firmware matches the ESC's capabilities for optimal performance.

7. Penyelenggaraan

• Regularly inspect all solder joints and connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
• Keep the ESC clean and free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use compressed air or a soft brush for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the ESC to excessive vibrations or physical impacts.
• Periodically check for firmware updates for the ESC (via Bluejay Configurator or BLHeliSuite) to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.

8. Penyelesaian masalah

If you encounter issues with your BLS-04 4in1 ESC, consider the following:

• No Power/No Motor Beeps:
  • Check battery connection and ensure it's fully charged.
  • Verify all power leads are securely soldered and no short circuits are present.
• Motor Tidak Berputar/Kelakuan Tidak Menentu:
  • Ensure motor wires are correctly connected and not loose.
  • Check ESC configuration in Bluejay Configurator or BLHeliSuite.
  • Verify the flight controller's motor outputs are correctly mapped and calibrated.
  • Inspect motors for physical damage or obstructions.
• Terlalu panas:
  • Ensure adequate airflow around the ESC.
  • Check for propeller obstructions or bent propellers causing excessive motor load.
  • Verify motor/propeller combination is suitable for the ESC's current rating.
• Desync Issues:
  • Adjust motor timing settings in the ESC configuration software.
  • Ensure Damping Light is enabled if using Dshot.
  • Check for damaged motor windings or bearings.
