Quark esc governor mode help needed

[pcskyhi]

I recently purchased a Quark 65A esc for my Hirobo Lepton. The instructions tell U how to set the governor mode up but there is nothing about how the governor is activated or deactivated. After the slow start does the governor just kick in? Is it active in all flight modes? Are throttle curves needed? Once governor mode kicks in, how is it deactivated? These are just some things that have been left unanswered in their set-up manual. I have only dealt with Kontronic's Jazz series esc in the past and they are a breeze to set up and work very well. I'm just trying the quark esc because I have heard they would provide more power to the motor. Any help will be appreciated.

Hey,

Basically to activate the govenor mode once set in the Quark, the throttle curve has to go above the govenor set point to activate. Then as long as it stays above this percentage then govenor mode will remain active.

On my electric models I set my normal throttle curve up with a very steep line up to just under mid stick up just above the govenor point and then a straight line after it.
For any aero's/circuits etc. I switch into IdleUp 1 or 2 which has a staight line curve to keep the ESC in govenor mode no matter where the throttle stick is.

Then to drop out of govenor mode just switch back into normal mode which will allow the throttle curve to drop below the govenor set point (and down to zero/no power) and the govenor will disengage and the rotors will stop.

I love my Quark controllers, they are great little units. Ok not as simple to program as others perhaps but I think they are with the visual coloured lights indicating what setting your at.

Thank U, that is what I needed, a nice simple explanation. Quark should be a bit more detailed in their instructions and explain the usage of their governor mode.

Your welcome.

I agree with you, hence my involvement with Quark as the smaller 23A unit we sold with our 3D PRO's needed some extra instructions which I wrote for inclusion in the kits.
It worked well and people get on with the Quarks now better.
