Calibrating PWM ("PPM") servo remote control [SRO]

Manual calibration

works very well

  1. make sure the tool is connected to the ESC and RT APP is turned on
  2. make sure the remote is connected and paired with its receiver and its failsafe is set
  3. turn on the remote
  4. read app settings
  5. with throttle in neutral, note the center pulsewidth and copy it above
  6. write app settings
  7. pull throttle all the way (forward) and note pulsewidth, and copy it above
  8. write app settings
  9. push throttle all the way (braking) and note pulsewidth, and copy it above
  10. write app settings
  11. edit the maximum pulsewidth so you can control the “tool” throttle up to around 104%
  12. write app settings
  13. edit the minimum pulsewidth so you can control the “tool” throttle down to around -104%
  14. write app settings
  15. [optional] decrease deadband, 15% is rather high IMHO (10% seems better)
  16. write app settings
  17. operate the throttle from one extreme to the other a few times, make sure it goes from -104% to +104% and rests around zero (and within the deadband), redo any numbers and click write app settings as needed
  18. :warning: turn off the remote and make sure the throttle stays within the deadband area :warning: (if not, redo the failsafe setting)
  19. enjoy :metal:
