Made a post to document the building of my new drone 🙂
#6S Racing Drone
coarse inlet
place the caps near the mosfets and keep the looparea cap -> mosfet -> mosfet -> cap small
avoid vias in the high current path if possible

avoid vias in the high current path if possible
wdym vias in high current path?
grave lion
place the caps near the mosfets and keep the looparea cap -> mosfet -> mosfet ->...
there is only 1 cap per 2 mosfets
and i can't really place them under unfortunately
grave lion
there is only 1 cap per 2 mosfets
or do you mean the top ones?
coarse inlet
c8-c17
place 1 or 2 of them left to each mosfet pair
grave lion
why?
coarse inlet
like this and extend the zones on q2 and q4 to include the caps
grave lion
extending might be a bad idea
it's already 7mm
if i make it smaller it will heat up
btw, what advantage does this give?
coarse inlet
why?
low impedance path for the motor current
otherwise you will get voltage peaks on your dc link -> kills mosfets
grave lion
oh ok, i tought all those dc link caps were enough
i will place 1 cap per pair
so i won't need to make that smaller
coarse inlet
the total capacitance might be enough but you want a low esr/esl connection to the mosfets
grave lion
ok
btw, i need those 2 vias in the high current path are to power the driver
or should i moe them down?
coarse inlet
i'm talking about vias near the mosfets
grave lion
coarse inlet
looks like a misunderstanding happned
i was talking about avoiding vias as conductors in the cap <-> mosfet path
grave lion
ohh
coarse inlet
the others are fine as long as they don't reduce the zone width too much
grave lion
well, i have removed the 2 ones in the place of the cap pad
thx for these informations

A render of the finished ESC

That is pretty cool! I'd make your signal pads a bit larger and stronger, they might rip off easily otherwise
grave lion

They are 1mm large
I'll make them 2 mm
merry oyster
i assume you've build a racequad before?
grave lion
Maybe
merry oyster
make sure that the ESCs will fit on the arms of your chosen frame
they look quite big
merry oyster
ah, so a big of a bigger one
merry oyster
most racequads these days use 4in1 ESCs or all in one systems where escs and FC is on the same board
merry oyster
it makes sense for development^^
naive cape
what microcontroller?
I too am curious about the MCUs on that board, especially the one with the can / UFL
grave lion
what microcontroller?
F767
grave lion

Which ones?
I'll give you the full name once i'm home
naive cape
Dont think it has a label but the one at the top
grave lion
Dont think it has a label but the one at the top
You mean the one with the antenna?
naive cape
yessir
grave lion
It's an esp32-N1U if i remember correctly
merry oyster
i'd be interested in both 
grave lion
Yeah, should work i hope
grave lion
what does the esp do?
Receiver for the drone
merry oyster
Yeah, should work i hope
as long as you don't put it in a carbon frame
grave lion
as long as you don't put it in a carbon frame
Ok
I'll be using wifi for this
At least for now
merry oyster
not ideal
grave lion
Ik
merry oyster
you could use expressLRS
grave lion
But it's the one i have
merry oyster
it's an open source LORA based rc link
grave lion
you could use expressLRS
Can i control it from phone?
merry oyster
no
grave lion
That's the problem
I don't have a remote for now
I'll make one in the future
This is just for testing rn
grave lion
oooh, a BMS
yeah, i'll use USB PD
so i don't have to design a charger
max 100W of charge power
