Flyduino KISS 32A ESC User Manual

KISS - Keep it super simple. Manual v1.0 for the KISS 32A ESC

Special Features

 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 MCU @80Mhz
 Telemetry capability (voltage, current, temperature, rpm)
 Over current protection (measures the current and reduces it to max 40A)
 Over temperature protection (reduces the max power if hotter then 100°C)
 sinHybrid :: Sinwave/BackEMF Hybrid Commutation for smoother running.
 Dshot 2400 (Full resolution of 2000 steps takes only 6.5µs)
 Supports all common Dshot commands like turtle mode, 3D mode and rotation direction change.
 Expanded adaptive auto timing (3,25-30° advance on each commutation)
 For Race Multicopters (32A continuous also with weak cooling)
 High max. RPM (500.000ERpm, 71.400Rpm with a 14Pole Motor)
 Small size (19 x 27 mm)
 Accurate RPM control (2000 steps using Dshot)
 No additional capacitor needed for 3-5S. Add a min. 220µF min. 50V Cap for 6S usage!
 Very fast throttle response
 Linear throttle response
 Active freewheeling (low diode losses)
 Regenerative braking
 3-6S LiPo
 Dshot 100-2400, Oneshot42, Oneshot125 and normal (25 – 500Hz) PWM auto detected.
 Supports FrSky Sbus, Graupner SumD, TBS CROSSFIRE and Multiplex SRXL

as well as the Telemetrys, S-Port, Graupner HOTT, TBS CROSSFIRE and Sensorbus

Technical details

 Operating voltage 9 - 30V (3-6s)
 Maximum continuous current 32A
 Instantaneous maximum current 40A, actively limited
 600000 ERPM maximum rotation field speed (useage up to 500000 recommended)

Safety Warnings

• Due to the regenerative braking, the KISS ESC should only be powered by LiPo batteries.

A power supply might get damage when braking. The ESC takes care of itself.

• Never start a brushless motor in your hands!

• While starting up with propellers mounted, always do it in a distance of yourself & objects

• The KISS ESC can be locally heated up to 80 ° C during operation!

• While soldering do not connect a voltage source at the ESC / speed controller.

• Some components on the KISS ESC can be destroyed by static charge. When handeling such

electronics, make sure to be grounded.

Description/Components

1. Solder contacts for motor-phase connections

2. LiPo Power supply GND -

3. LiPo Power supply +

4. PWM/Dshot signal input (servo signal)

5. PWM/Dshot signal GND (ground reference)

6. Solder jumper to set the direction of rotation (also in 3D mode)

7. Telemetry (e.g. On the KISS FC connected to TRX/TLM)

8. Status LED (indicates validity of the input signal)

Soldering wires

Commissioning of the ESC / speed controller for a brushless electric motor:

• Soldering each of the three motor cables to each one of the three solder pads (1)

• LiPo power cable with plug solder (2 + 3). IMPORTANT!!! Note polarity, otherwise the ESC /

controller is immediately destroyed when connecting the power supply. The LiPo can also be
damaged.

• Solder signal cable, white or yellow cable (4), the black wire to (5)

Add a Capacitor for 6S LiPo use
