      Hello community,
      We are working on VOXL2 and we have Mini 4 in 1 ESC with us with in-built power module. On its datasheet page there is no mention of its continous and peak current support per channel. My UAV needs hover time 5 Amp of current per channel and in worst case scenerio at full throttle/max thrust it might shoot to maximum of 12 Amp. Will this requirement be catered by this ESC?

          @Aaky , 5A hover / 12A max (per motor) should be easy for M0129 in terms of current capacity. Just make sure you have some cooling. Sufficient cooling should be determined by testing and monitoring ESC temps, which are available in the ESC telemetry and PX4.

            @Vinny Thank you pointing that out. 🙂

            @Alex-Kushleyev Thank you for your inputs. Can you please review once my tuning xml for for following propulsion : EMAX Eco ii 2306 motor 1700 kv, 5126 GemFan bi-blade propeller and 4S 15000 mah battery pack. All up weight of my UAV is 1800 grams. We did tuning of ESC as mentioned in the tuning guide.

              Hi @Aaky, can you please confirm which ESC you are using for this drone? This thread is related to the mini ESC, and i just want to make sure that you are not using that for the relatively heavy drone.
