  • Today we are going to revisit the Power and Battery tab to discuss how to calibrate voltage and the amp meter. I'm going to show you how to get them as accurate as you can.

    cool, no more betaflight telling me i used 115,000 mah :) thanks for sharing this and showing a safe way to get close without playing with live amps and spinning props :)

      It takes a little bit of time but its worth it.

    Hey! I really liked this video, I never thought it could be posible to have the correct mAh consumption correct in betaflight like that, I, going to tried with a brushless whoop. Subscribed!

      Some math makes it all better. Thanks for the sub!

    Best well explained battery calibration video I've seen thus far. Thank you Sir 🙏

    thx! great way to figure out how to setup bf... scale was set to 400... now around 100 and it worked out pretty well

    Crucial steps if you plan to use Vbat_compensation ... yes?

      I personally don't use that feature so I'm not 100% but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.

    You may have explained and sorry if u did, but when u recharge the battery to get the mah put back in, do I use just the charge option or balance option or does it matter?

    • @DerekandhisDrone

      Always balance charge a LiPo battery. Using any other setting could lead to a fire.

    Thanks for the info , your Betaflight videos are really helpful !

      Glad everything is working out for you! Thanks for watching.

    Apparently my 1300mah battery consumed 2700 mah and I draw 189 amps on punch outs. am I a Kang yet? But atleast my voltage is accurate lol

    • @DerekandhisDrone
      @DerekandhisDrone  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The voltage reading is usually pretty close out of the box however it is always necessary to calibrate your amp meter. If you follow my instructions I find it is rather accurate within three batteries.

      @@DerekandhisDrone I pretty much just trust the esc architecture. My tune is conservative and I make sure every motor is smooth and cool before and after every flight. 6s 1800kv on very efficient nazgul props. I barely do full on long term punch outs, and eve just 50-60 percent blips are enough to get me through most freestyle tricks. I'm too lazy but you video really did help explain. One day I'll tackle this and feel proud. Oddly enough, although I don't trust the anp reading at all, it seems accurate to experience during low/mid throttle but on ful throttle spikes to 180-210amp INSTANTLY no matter how low in amps I started. I've tested seeing if long holding this would blow the esc but no. Everything stays very cool. 🙏

    I feel like my scale is close for full throttle per manufacture chart.. but hovering is way under. I think i need to shift it up like 4amps

    • @DerekandhisDrone
      @DerekandhisDrone  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The scale will never be 100% accurate. The best you can do is get it close through calibration.

      @@DerekandhisDrone Yeah just want mah close. And see amps for when running a Li-ion
