Fork from bluejay at github and modified for my custom ESC. I need to modify it because some mistake design on my ESC hardware.

Bluejay

Bluejay

Digital ESC firmware for controlling brushless motors in multirotors.

Based on BLHeli_S revision 16.7

Bluejay aims to be an open source successor to BLHeli_S adding several improvements to ESCs with Busy Bee MCUs.

Current Features

  • Digital signal protocol: DShot 150, 300 and 600
  • Bidirectional DShot: RPM telemetry
  • Selectable PWM frequency: 24, 48 and 96 kHz
  • PWM dithering: 11-bit effective throttle resolution

See the project changelog for a detailed list of changes.

Flashing ESCs

Bluejay firmware can be flashed to BLHeli_S compatible ESCs and configured using Bluejay Configurator (a fork of BLHeli Configurator).

Release binaries

All releases can be found in the releases section.

Release files use a naming convention similar to BLHeli: {T}_{M}_{D}_{P}_{V}.hex.
T A - W Target ESC layout
M L or H MCU type: L (BB1 24MHz), H (BB2 48MHz)
D 0 - 90 Dead time (0 only for ESCs with built-in dead time)
P 24, 48 or 96 PWM frequency [kHz]
V E.g. 0.7 Bluejay version

Comparison of BLHeli_S and Bluejay settings

The following table shows a correspondence between BLHeli_S and Bluejay's startup power settings.

  • Minimum startup power: Minimum power when starting motors. Increase if motors are not able to start with low throttle input.
  • Maximum startup power: Limits power when starting motors or reversing direction.
  • RPM Power Protection (Rampup): Limits how fast power can be increased. Lower values will avoid power spikes but can also decrease acceleration.
