@@stylesuxx ohhhhh you are here!!!
Well in that case you serve 1/3 of the world population :-)
@@fpvlive yeah but this is really a thankless and ungrateful job
@@hugochiang1072 Thank You!!!!!
What would be the FPV world without you...en empty space...
Thanks JB, really appreciate your dedication ☺️
I can't tell you enough how much you helped me to get into this Hobby! You're amazing!
Thank you joshua, I flashed blue jay onto my 5 inch and got rpm filtering set up because of your tutorials, and the difference is amazing. The horizon is perfectly locked, and there is baeraly any propwash
coming back to this in 2023 and remembering that BLheli passthrough didn't use to be a thing and we all just take that for granted now. lol. This hobby has really come a long ways!! Hats off to all the people who were smarter than me and contributed to the code on this stuff.
Literally Just flashed to a Emax Tinyhawk S and WOW. It has never flown this nicely. I have always had issues with blheli-s on starting the motors, (Yes I am using the plugs, Yes I know that the plugs are crap for the motor connections). It is really nice to have the startup sounds as well. Thanks for the great vid and keep up the excellent work.
I actually just flashed my nephew's tinyhawk (1s version) to Blue Jay and he says that it flies SO much better and has more power than it ever had before. He's been flying the same quad for 2 years. On the same tune and firmware. So the change was welcomed. He also said now it more enjoyable to rip around and he can see himself progressing faster now that he has more control and POWA!!!!!!
Thank you, loving my new start-up sounds :D
Thank you this helped me so much for my stepson and my TP3 builds. Your are an amazing source of info and so much help! I would not have been able to do this without your videos! So I’m joining your Patreon! Your knowledge is invaluable!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you very much for all you do for the FPV community
This is why I follow the channel, awesome!
Great thanks for this video! This is the first time I hear about this ESC FW.
Lol..great timing! I just flashed my new toothpick build with this last night and put the same Mario power-up theme on LOL
Thanks for the content, quadfather!! 🙌
Love Bluejay and the PWA flasher app. Haven't had an issue yet and the bootup tones are amazing! I have had problems with flashing JazzMaverick before.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I have been using your Betaflight series for my first quad build. And it led me here. Oh! BTW, if I slow down your videos to 75%, your voice is hilarious! 🙂
Awsome! Just flashed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The ☀ is shining tomorrow ✈
great video thanks ive installed bluejay on my new basher build and a custom zelda startup, like you the most important feature thanks again.
Again thanks for all you do, it has helped me thru some extremely hard times in my life right now thank you very much
Gotta say Josh you have definitely earned it! You are the man!!
Using Bluejay on mine already - mostly for the music programming. 😅👍
flashed mine and bi directional D shot still won't turn on. Any ideas why that would be?
Hi Joshua, I am currently using bluejay firmware on my 5” freestyle drone, and also remembered you to a couple of fpv pilots in the group.
Good stuff, been using Bluejay for a while and really like it.
Amazing, can't wait to try this out.
That is Great. I will Start to Flash all of my mamba stack esc‘s Right now.
Nice shirt like always 🔥 that's awesome I'm do it for my toothpick thanks 🤘
I had no idea this existed and I'm so glad I just found it. Custom start up tunes are amazing lol
Thanks JB. This was very easy to follow.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention 😃
I think I’ve only got 1 QC left running bl heli s.
thanks for showing this! Just saved my a lot of time!
Hello Joshua. Greetings from Russia. I often watch your videos and am grateful for them.
Again, really useful information here!
Thanks for the run down on this!
I just did this last week to my moblite7. Works great.10min+ flights
Wait what were you getting before? That sounds crazy
Don't forget check numbers of magnet on motors bell! When you use bidirectional DShot.
been saying this for over a year :) good to see you join the bandwaggon :)
Excellent and timely
Duude just watching you enjoy the new ESC ringtone hahaha gold!
Pretty excited for flashing this to the firefly 2s tonight after work, I think I bricked my ESC last night trying to flash with the web browser BHELI configurator, man I've been troubleshooting this build for 30 hours now , ALL CAUSE I WANNA FLY 3D .... and I'm a noob
As I save up for the quad I want, it runs BLHeli_S, and so I will probably be upgrading it to Bluejay. That is just so cool.
I actually didn't know that S didn't support bidirectional Dshot until today.
thanks for sharing the information
Thanks for the video. Helped me a lot. I flashed Blujay on my BLHeli_S ESC and now i not have any issue anymore... (spinning up motors in a disarmed mode)
This video helped me!
Got to love JB even if it's just for content like this. 👍🏾😉
I'ved done this to all my quads, so awesome.
been using bluejay on all my 45amp succex esc's paired with hglrc f722s, havent blown one yet, and i rip pretty hard in bandos. i do coat my esc and i truly believe that it helps as a layer of protection not just from water. thanks for all you do jb! i do use it on my micros too.
i run the same esc on my beater added conformal coating this season :) might try the blue jay
You choose 24 for the pmw frequency?
@@damianomotta1809 48 pretty aggressive tune flies amazing 835grams auw gpro9
my intergalactic bando island video is with that quad, my apex still has jesc for a reallly long time, succex 45amp esc refuses to die i am thankful, but when it goes, it lived a damn epic life lol
@@DanishStallion Thanks, flashed mine with 48, hover test passed
Very cool. Always wanted "I am Iron Man" on my 65mm whoop. 😎
Ok you made me LOL with the melody thing :D
Awesome video josh
ESC-configurator is easy to use and works! Love it. I already switched to BlueJay. I supported JESC for a long time but AIOs burning out, quads getting lost, eventually I came to that same conclusion. Why am I paying per ESC? Subscription perhaps but per ESC doesn’t make sense. Happy to support developers but give us options for supporting your work.
Doing this right now. Awesome
Thank you so much again!!
Once I can finally get back home to my fleet I will be doing the bluejay and BF4.3 and give it a go can't wait to get back in the air.
Para lo que van a hacer esta modificación de firmware a las ESC: La dirección de giro de los motores se debe configurar nuevamente
Friendly reminder: After firmware change/update remember that the motor direction is settled to custom defaults. Re configure the motor direction again
thank you
Been using bluejay for a while on my tinyhawk 2, like you say... theres no reason not to! :)
The "Post-Credits" Scene!!! :) nice
Thanks Joshua
Man I got to say I just got into the hobby and your vids are just the best... you are inspiring man... I got to say so far everything has been smooth sailing with my Mobula7... but this BLHeli_S on my Tyro79 is killing me... I flashed the firmware and now only 2 of my ESCs show on BLHeliS... this is my new quad (it came pre-assembled) and I had it all set up and running... until I upgraded to get the extra goodies of BLUEJAY. I have been looking online for a fix as to where I may have gone wrong... the only thing I found is some dude online said that the ESC type should be S-H-50 for my FC on the Tyro79... I am lost here...
I ran into a similar issues when I tried to flash JESC on my Blheli_S (J-H-50) I lost all the ESCs and it turned out that I just didn't have enough juice left in my lipo while flashing it. Make sure that you're supplying 12 volts to your setup while flashing the firmware or doing just about anything on your ESC configurator!
👍💪thanks for great info
Plus Pacman on my startup 😍
Great news, I'm replacing a AIO FC that I've already flashed with JESC and although I'd like to support innovation, I really don't want to buy a new set of licenses for the same quad. BlueJay it is!
What timing 😂😂 I started tuning my whoop for the next race and flashed this yesterday esc 1 and 4 did not go right and said incompatible. It still flew so I kept at it figured I would force it and I got working all 4 esc's flashed and working. And I gained almost 1:10 flight time!
could you do a comparison of 48khz to 96khz? There are not many good comparisons:) I'd be super interested
Been running BlueJay on all my BLHeli S ESC's for a while now with no issues.
I going to toss this for discussion since im under the assumption its true. 48khz is more resilient to amperage spikes due to the higher frequency giving it a faster response rate against spikes. I have yet to burn an ESC running 48khz and having great success on my 3s 2.5 and 3 inchers on 1105s and 1204 and it does add more efficient on those motors. I haven't played with any 14mm stator motors to give my opinion on those. I went through quite an a few 16x16 ESCs before the upgrade when jazz maverick fist came out and haven't burned one yet. Infact I have the same stacks for almost a year with countless crashes. I haven't seen anyone discussing durability but that is my hypothesis and would love to see other people's opinions
the day has come! I hope my mamba stack can do this
Thanks!!!!!
Thanks easy peasy, 1whoop is playing "Rick Astley never gonna give you up" the other "Mario startup" awesome 😁.
Flight have to wait for better weather unfortunately 👍
A cool program + that you can use on your phone 👍
I tried this on my rs160 and my esc stopped working after about 6 plug ins i was able to get it back to blheli any idea what i may have done wrong?
yup i jumped on the bluejay bandwagon months ago :) ive never had a problem
LEARNING LEARNING SO SO MUCH MUCH
Would this still be a better option to put on a blheli s esc 5in that's using emu flight? Or is it for bidirectional only?
Hi Sir J.B.,
I' ve flashed today bluejay to my betafpv pavo 260 quas with esc on blheliM but i read on the Google bluejay app that tjis firmware isn' supported.
Anyway the five motors have been flash ed from blheli M to last blujay 48 khz.
Did i' ve done something wrong?
Thanks for all you' ve learned to me every day! 😉
awesome vid, thanks! do we need to change any settings in the betaflight motors tab after we switch to bluejay? cheers!
Be aware when using ESC configurator it runs on a chome app which can run into problems opening and closing serial ports and may run into issues flashing. Just be diligent and it should eventually flash them all.
I used Microsoft Edge which seemed to flash fine, but now motor 3 is stuttering on pwr up although it's fine in Beta motors tab. Could this be the issue you mentioned ?
Bluejay for the win. Good stuff JB #StayPhly
Hi there
I flashed my fc to the newest version betaflight 4.4.3.
Now I am unable to connect to ESC
configurator anymore, it says in the open port selection when I plug in the USB cable to my quad, betaflight stm32f7x2. When I hit this port and plug in the battery, I am unable to read my settings. Betaflight is turned off, so no other connection to different programs. Do you guys have any idea how I can fix that? In the past in the open serial port my quad always showed up as speedybeef7miniv2 and not as betaflightstm32f7x2?
I don’t have any problems, connecting my quad to betaflight and make some configuration in beta flight, everything is working fine in betaflight, but not in the ESC configurator.
Can I also use this software to reprogram a BL Heli ESC to work as a car ESC? Coz I have a really tiny RC car which I'm tryin' to do a brushless swap on and the only ESC I found that was small enough to pair with the motor I have was a Graupner ESC Ultra 7A BL Heli S (the 2 - 3S version). I just couldn't fand any car ESCs that small so I was hoping I could just reprogram that ESC with regular forward / backward throttle and be done with it.
Your T-Shirt closet!!!!!
Just a heads up '
You might have to re-assign motor directions in the Bluejay configurator if any motors were reversed before flashing . The configurator set all my rigs motors to normal direction by default when I switched over.
Had the identical experience and I had them right before flashing
Nice point! Also happened to me but want to give a heads up
If in betaflight you have the motors reversed, then you should leave the settings on the ESC as normal, because from what I saw on my quad, if you put reversed on the ESC configurator and reversed on Betaflight, the go back to normal, my guess is betaflight reverses it and then the ESC reverses it back to normal, so in most cases having it on normal after flashing should be ok if you configured the motors with betaflight
Still always test on the bench with props off and see the direction to where they spin
Thanks I had that problem easy fix.
I just switched to Bluejay 16.0 running at PWM 96K from JMaverick running at 48K. Made my 4 year-old, 100mm, 2S whoop fly like a totally new machine - and I get a full _50 seconds_ more flight time! Definitely a must-have.
I chose the Batman Theme, coz I'm a Boomer of a certain age.
Does demag compensation add to heat in the motors?
On a video I saw about dropping motor temp, someone suggested turning demag compensation off
hello, i have a little problem... i justed flashed my bl heli s to bluejay like shown, but when i go back to betaflight i still have the rpmfilter that will not let me arm... What should i do?
thaks
Thanks! I want to see how well that Smart 35 rips after you enable RPM filtering and tune it a little.
yeah, me too
Danke!
hello sir. I have a mobula7 hd 1s drone. When I activate the gyro Rpm filter, the drone does not fly and gives an error. How can I fix this error sir?
Would you do this with any specific settings for x class? Got the Beerotor 80a esc’s which Blheli s
PLEASE HELP.
I have flushed the ESC but forgot to press “Disconnect” and closed the window. Now the esc-configurator is unable to find my ESC and the sound that was played when I plugged in the battery had disappeared + VTX is no longer flashing.
Hey Joshua, I just flashed blue jay onto a flywoo f411 aio and then betaflight 4.3 rc4. It took the esc firmware just fine and i had fun setting a startup tone but once i went out of the configurator and back into betaflight and turned on bidirectional dshot motor 4 shows 100% error and so i went back into blue jay configurator and motor 4 no longer shows up. not sure what to do, Ive tried everything i can think of to get it to show back up again. Any thoughts?
After done the procedure the Bidirectional DoubleShot don't shows up in Betaflight 1.8, what can I'm doing wrong ?? I'm trying in my mobula 7 V2 FLSky version.
What PWM for a Flywoo Explorer 4LR (48 or 96)? It comes with: Goku Versatile the F405 Pro Mini Stack - F405 FC + 40A ESC.
Also, Thrust Linear = 25 ? Or not ?
Thanks 🤘
Thanks for the video. Are there any esc firmware that will do closed loop rpm control instead of open throttle control? I need rpm control for my application (not quadcopter). Thanks
You are the best
Anyone else noticing when you try to flash Bluejay the options for ESC type and version are just not there? Like the drop-down menu is just a black bar. I flashed one quad to this FW a while ago but now it's not working at all.
THX :D
I did this, only one motor was spinning and showing a 0% error and the other 3 were 100%. I tried to flash them back to blheli_s firmware, but now those 3 ESCs are gone and not readable. Please someone help me.
Nice.
Dont know how to thank you Joshua!
Good morning, my esc doesn't let you update it, it came from the factory H-H-50 and it doesn't allow it, I wanted to put the same one you showed in the video, I managed to modify the sound of the esc, but I can't update it, have you seen something similar ?
Well I flashed it and followed Bardwells instructions closely, only to power on and have motor 3 not spin up. Fantastic...
Did you get it working again?
@@craigsosebee6335 Yeah, flashed bk to BL Heli and made do w the 2min flights thus far... Using the UAV whoop tune and would like 3-4 min flights like the 85 builds I've done in the past. This is a BETA BNF
Would be funny, if there's an Easter egg in the fridge (or coupons to a few stores written on the right can)
So I upgraded my BL Heli S ESC to BlueJay and the motors began acting weird. one motor would lose power and not match the other 3, two others would gain power even though the throttle remained still (throttle runaway?) What can I do to fix this?
