0 18-Jun-2020, 02:21 PM (This post was last modified: 19-Jun-2020, 10:07 PM by Yskonyn.) The features of RPM filtering and Multi-DShot are great on paper, but I was wondering if the more experienced dronepilots would recommend flashing JESC to Tiny Whoops at all?
For example, my Mobula 7 needs to go from DShot 600 to the next lower setting and the FC loop needs to go from 8 Khz to 4 khz to prevent the board getting overloaded.
Is this concession(?) worth it over getting the new features, doesn't it really matter, or would you even advise against it?
Please also explain what your train of thought is.
Many thanks, I hope I can learn something today. ;-)

You actually want to decrease your gyro and pid loop time when you run rpm filtering. This is due to keeping the CPU load down.

388 A decrease in loop time, example 8k to 4k means less sampling. Therefore less data for the CPU to process.

0 Sorry I was confusing myself, you did not. The Khz rate is sampling time, indeed so the higher the number in Hz the faster the loop goes.
I’ve edited my OP.
But the question still stands: I do know that its a fact looptime needs to be decreased to prevent CPU overload, but in practical terms what do we loose (in theory) vs the better flight time we get from rpm filtering?
