Hi All

I Have just received 4 XRotor 40A ESC (asian pacific) all the items passed "Anti-counterfeit Code" meaning that they are all genuine original.

When I was about to flush them with blheli I noticed that the PCB is different than the one seen in the blheli guide, on mine the MCU is F394 but it is turnd 90 degrees as well as the programming pinouts.

One other change is that the new ESC is using a new driver which is single IC is FD6288 where the old driver uses a 3 separate IC NCP5106B.

New Driver: FORTIOR FD6288 250v 3 phase HVIC.

Details:
Internal 200ns dead time.

link to the new driver:

I have contacted hobbywing and they have confirmed the the new circuit is genuine .

I have attached images of the new and old PCB.

I have ordered only 4 ESC, so if i fail to flush it with blheli I am left with only 3 ESC and no quad.

My Questions:

1. Have one of you ever flushed this new XRotor 40A PCB with blheli ? 

2. Do I need to flush it with blheli, or the original firmware will be sufficient ?

    My Setup:

    Tarot 650

    SunnySky V3508 580KV

    Lipo 5000Mah 4S

    Prop 15x5.5 DJI Fiber carbon

    FC: Pixhawk

Thanks

  • Thanks :-) I will go ahead with the build and figure out how to calibrate the ESCs using PIXHAWK

    there is absolutely nothing wrong with the stock firmware, I actually think is a lot better than BLheli and doesnt need any adjustment, been using 6 X40 on my hexa for almost a year and never an issue....
