Hexa XL V3 - Combi

power

voltage : 10 to 30V -> 3 -7S Lipo
6 -layer PCB for optimal heat dissipation . 70u copper layers make the entire circuit board to the heat sink .
current: up to 30A (per unit) and 120A (Total) - with appropriate cooling
current limiting and temperature limiting
Active freewheeling -> less power loss

rapid acceleration and braking of the propeller. Active and seamless braking gives the speed precisely and quickly on the new setpoint .
return energy to the lipo when braking. Seamless transition from acceleration to braking
significantly faster control with speed control

Integrated 12V voltage regulator for external LED-Supply
Switchable LED output -> LEDs can flash in case of undervoltage
Adjustable motor timing in several steps of 13-28° - compatible with the most common BL motors
Adjustable switching frequency ( 10kHz - 20kHz )
PPM to 500 Hz with simultaneous I2C - bus operation for telemetry and data logging
Integrated 12V stabilization for LED lighting and other 12V appliances
Switchable outputs for lighting -> ZB The blinking lights at low voltage
Software adjustable direction of rotation
Adjustable current and temperature limits
Adjustable start-PWM
Silent Start: test tone at startup can be disabled

various interfaces for setpoint input ( I2C, PPM ( 500Hz ) , serial)
Integrated current measurement measurement of the actual current and the used capacity on the Mikrokopter control
voltage and temperature measurement with data transmission to the ground station and data logging
11-bit resolution (2048 steps )
various feedback to the MikroKopter-FlightCtrl ( blocked motor , power limiting , etc. )
extented configuration options (eg current limit , temperature limit , ...)
two LEDs (OK and Error )
all BLCs are already adressed (address 1-8)
I2C bus access possible in PPM mode - for data logging and telemetry in PPM mode
status messages are transmitted to the FC ( engine blocks , Current, Self-test error ...)
current measurement up to 75A per controller
Convenient configuration of the BL controller via FC

FlightCtrl: by the 5-lines molex cable
LiPo: LiPo plus / LiPo minus
Stabilized 12V supply: +12V / -
Adressing: The BL-Ctrls are already adressed
LiPo-Voltage outputs (for low currents up to 3A)
switched LED Stripes connections (4x)(switched by Out1 or Out2 of the flight control)
- => Plug the gray connector cable int Out1 or Out2 of the FC to use switchable LED-Lights
  => A / -
Motor 1-4
- => Motor outputs 1-4 / A, B, C
  => You can either solder the cables on the top or the bottom side => the cable colour is marked for the standart MK-rotation direction
Optional: Second Recom -> You can add a second voltage converter (for example 5V)
Buzzer: connect the buzzer ba a 2-line cable to the "BuzZ" marked connections

IMPORTANT: To change the Settings of the BL-Ctrl V3.0 you need a Software version since V2.02a (KopterTool, FlightCtrl, NaviCtrl)!

Normally you have not to change the settings! If you have to to it you can do it like described:

Now you will see the window of the BL-Ctrl V3.0.
INFO: only if you "click" and activate the single settings there you can change them.

The BL V3 performs a selftest during startup (test-tone). In case of an error, these are the blink codes:

If there is a new Software for the BL V3, here you can see how to update the BL: Update

The motors can be connected either on the top-side or on the bottom-side. You can ignore the small (pre-)soldered points on the top-side.

The BL-Ctrls are already ardessed. This can't bechanged on this coto.

The buzzer is connected via a cable

Plug the gray connector cable into Out1 or Out2 of the FC to use switchable LED-Lights
