Discussing setup and config for Bi-Directional DShot with Betaflight 4.1 The goal is to get RPM Filtering running and configured. There has been a lot of discussion lately regarding RPM Filtering and Betaflight 4.1 so lets get into it :) I started experimenting with RPM filtering back in August before WCT and it has been very interesting, and a lot of fun. (flight footage begins at the 7:30 mark) The first hurdle to get over, and the biggest step is your ESC's. ESC hardware must be able to support Bi-Directional DShot, and 4.1 is more robust filtering that 4.0 Keep in mind that your ESC firmware will be different depending on the version of Betaflight that you are running, 4.0 vs. 4.1 since 4.1 is a whole different animal. And it is worth moving to 4.1, I've tried both versions and 4.1 is by far better. Check out this article, see if your ESC is listed, and if so click the "snippet" and check out any notes on your ESC setup. I had to flash my ESC with a custom built file that I made on GitHub and then must enter some commands into my Betaflight CLI specific to my ESC; https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/wiki/Bidirectional-DSHOT-and-RPM-Filter I will make a detailed instruction video on how to setup your ESC flash file and the settings that you need to enter in BF CLI for your specific ESC. Once you have your ESC ready to go, then some additional settings need to be entered in your Betaflight software. Make sure you start with DShot300 motor protocol, I'm currently using DShot600 and it works great, zero packet errors. Once setup, run the test with motors and check the CLI to make sure your packet loss is minimal and that you are getting good numbers on the RPM readout. A lot of good things on the horizon, working with Absolute Control and Integrated Yaw settings, along with filter tuning and some black box data. Keep watching, good stuff on the way :) https://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBladeFPV https://www.YouTube.com/user/JDogB1 https://www.FPVBook.com/FireBlade #betaflight #rpmfilter #bidirectionaldshot #absolutecontrol #kwadgarage #integratedyaw #tbscrossfire #tbsunify #teamblacksheepfpv #krazykwads #fpvmagazine #rpmfiltering
