Dear Christophe

 

Can I assume that the updated ~funjet1.xml file showing: Define name="MILLIAMP_AT_FULL_THROTTLE" valve= "2000"/> 

should be changed to say: Define name="MILLIAMP_AT_FULL_THROTTLE" valve="10000" unit="ma"/>, in the first instance

if I am running an AXI 2212/26 motor specified to draw a maximum efficiency current of 10 amps. 

 

Regards

 

Stephen

Dear Stephen,

The actual current depends on the motor-propellor-airspeed combination, but about 10 000 milliAmp (or a little more) would be a good first guess if you can not measure it. 

Regards,

Christophe

PS: please note you wrote valve instead of value...
