Björn Pettersson replied to Vincent Mees's discussion Opinion on flashing ESC's for multirotors
"Done this, (jDrones 20A ESC's) so far the most noticable difference is the quiteness, no high pitched scream, no klicking sounds either. Weather has been to bad to know if stability is better or worse (no flying at all)."

Björn Pettersson replied to Colby M's discussion Motor Crackling Noise During Low RPM
"It's the low pwm frequence (8kHz) theese esc's run at combined with low kV motors that generate the clicking/crackling it seems. It allso generates the quite loud high pitched sound. Updated mine with better firmware that lets them run at 16kHz,…"

Björn Pettersson replied to Björn Pettersson's discussion ESC firmware update
"Update done on myESC's (Jdrones 20A, identical to hobbywing 20A ESC's). Results: no more clicking noises from motors (850kV Jdrones) and motors are a lot quieter. Not been flying this yet (will do so later today after update to latest AC2 code)"

Björn Pettersson commented on John Arne Birkeland's blog post Beta test new servo input firmware for ArduPilot MEGA
"I'm all new to this, but I'll try the ppm passtrough on a jeti rsat when I get my hardware :) Seems it will send 8ch ppm in direct mode if the Tx module detects 8 channels. Mpx royal pro 9 here so no problems with that."

"Jeti RSAT would be nice (Jeti user here too), I believe it is sending a ppm pulse train as is is so might be even easier to do?"
