Step 7. Calibrate ESCs

What You Need:

RubiQ 2.0

Antenna

RubiQ Configurator

USB Cable

LiPo Battery

Steps:

WARNING! Remove props and attach the antenna before calibrating the ESC’s.

Connect to the RubiQ Configurator without a battery (or disconnect the battery if continuing from the previous step) and open the Motors tab.

Calibrating the ESCs sets the maximum and minimum throttle values:

  1. Read the Motor Test Mode Notice and toggle to verify that the propellers are removed before Enabling Motor Control.
  2. Slide the Master Control all the way to the top.
  3. Plug in the battery. Don’t be afraid! Rather than actually activating the motors, this sets the maximum throttle value for the ESCs. A happy tone will play to signal that the calibration was successful.
  4. Move the Master Control all the way down to the bottom. This sets the minimum throttle value and triggers a second happy tone.
  5. If you’ve set the maximum and minimum throttle values correctly, RubiQ will finish singing and you can unplug the LiPo battery and disconnect the USB cable.
