Comment: This is not yet fully exploited, motors with resistances of 12 Ohm or larger have been tested to be well handled at 4S (see here, here), motors with 10 Ohm may be handled with care (see here and here). - board dimensions: 50 mm x 50 mm, 45 mm bolt to bolt, holes Ø3 mm
Pins and Connectors
Flashing Firmware
Follow the instructions for v1.1 boards in the How to flash firmware manual.
On-board Bluetooth
The witespy board can be equipped with a HC06 bluetooth module on the bottom side of the board. However, a diode, which is needed for the on-board bluetooth module to work, is not populated. Its location is shown in the photo below. In principle any diode which fits on the pads can be used, but preferably a Shottky diode is choosen. The "original" type is PMEG3010ER. A possibly simpler solution is to just short circuit the two pads by e.g. soldering a piece of wire across them. However, the communication via the UART port wouldn't work then anymore, i.e. this should only be done if one is not going to use the UART port anytime.
