I stumbled across this by accident, and due to being tired I left my brain elsewhere and was having a devil of a time trying to calibrate my esc's.

You see, I have my smoke stopper plugged into a test lipo all the time and use it when building the quads, but this time I left the smoke stopper lipo on the quad while trying to do esc calibrations and motor testing. Which was doing my head in as to why it would not work properly.

Then it dawned on me..I still had the smoke stopper plugged in.

So, the tip is.

Use a smoke stopper when building and testing, but when ready to do esc cals and motors testing (requiring more power), remove the smoke stopper..

Here is how to make one

This is my smoke stopper, i know it's not yet isolated, that is something i have to do, but they work great.
The small bulb is 12V 10W for ESC and FC programming and very very slow rotation.
The big bulb is 12V 21W for motor testing, at a punch out the smoke stopper kicks in.
And i just bought a XT60 battery serries cable connector and i had just a few XT60 connectors over.



Small lightbulb is low current 0,8 A
Big lightbulb is medium current 1,75 A
