Tinyhawk S 2s 450mah motor overheat
#1
I'm flying a brand new TH S on tattu 2s 450mah batts. Gentle hovering around; nothing aggressive. Indoor flying (as a test run) in my lounge.

Profile 2 pids (P value 80).

Xt30 connector.

After 4 minutes, the batt was drained and the motor bells were almost too hot to touch. 1s 450 and stock 2s 300 both fly fine.

Bit confused...is this normal? I thought 2s 450 was what most people use, but I'm terrified of wrecking the motors. Is there anything else I can change? Thanks.

The added weight could be causing the heat, especially if you are not getting the same heat from the smaller packs. Usually too much D term cause hot motors or not enough PID filtering.

it happens to me the same, even with the 2s 300mah supplied
I had stopped using 2s also because with the PID project mokingbird even with 1s is fantastic.
later I installed BF 4.1 and RPM filters and the autonomy has increased up to 5 minutes.

today I read your post I went to try the 2s again. cold engines and barely warm battery.

Corrado-c I would be grateful if you tell me what kind of setup you use ine BF. I've installed Jesc 48, update BF to 4.1 but I'm struggling with BF setup.. can I use standard THS pid profiles, just change some details for jesc?

Hi!! Lately I was using esc JazzMaverick firmware for rpm filter! it works great, now I'm using BF4.2 and luckily I have some old saved settings.



I am attaching the "diff all", which I had saved some time ago with BF4.1, see if you can catch something, 
most is the mockingbird project

profile 1 for 1S profile 2 for 2S,
the rate are for acro, angle and acro los if I remember correctly....
but I don't remember which ones, try if you can like it

Thank you soo much, its flying great! Sorry for beginner mistakes, that is my firs fpv drone and I'm so excited!

for vtx depends,
have you configured the port of vtx? (peripherals: VTX TBS smart audio in UART 2)
and then in the part of "video transmitter" you have to load the VTX TABLE,
download TBS SmartAudio Protocol (smartaudio 2.0) from here: https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight...VTX-tables
EU or US versione.

Although I think something should be seen even without these configurations ...

then you have to check the cables ...

oops, did I see wrong or did you have a problem with the vtx a few minutes ago?  Huh

You right, I had a problem, figure out in bf the band was Race one, i compare default setting, change to boscam-a and is run perfect ? first fly on emax 450hv 5.15 boom. There is a higher angle for angle mod but still very stable when hovering around

I mainly use ACRO mode, in Angle I can't tell you. I'm glad you feel good there  Big Grin Thumbs Up

I'm grateful for it, it's fly amazing little bit crazy for beginner like me. Have you got the stock dump file for THs (I lost mine) , I know that I can download from Emax page but I read that couple people had some problem with it, so I'm looking for something out from quad
Reply

I've had a TH2 for a while now running on the stock BF4.1 tune and never had hot motors. I've just resurrected the quad and decided to flash with BF4.2.6 and Jazz Mav ESC firmware so I could enable bidirectional dhot300 and all of a sudden hot motors. I simply added DMIN @ 60 and bingo this sorted it right away. Hope this helps others.
