Servo current draw on 5.6 and 7.4V on Kosmik

[Mercuriell]

Set up my Kosmik initially on 5.6V BEC on my Banshee equipped with BLS HV servos - after a few flights knocked up the BEC to 7.4V to see how power consumption went up. Not surprisingly average and peak draws went up with higher BEC voltage peaking at 7A, about doubled - these were for comparable flights - few speed runs at full pitch and some big air stuff. The BEC voltage stays rock steady as we'd expect. Was surprised that in IU2 at higher HS the servo current draw was pretty much the same - note HS not accurate as can't get my 14p modded LV2 .ini file to import data

Just went through that same routine to get the headspeed correctly, just save the master ini as for instance headspeed. ini then edit the values as Tom described.
Herewith for my l700 i changed highlited in red
1 divided by half pole count in this case 7 for pyro850 then again divided by gearratio, 10.29(xtreme) so 1/7= 0.142..then again divide this by 10.29= .013..... which is the value you place opposite factor 1, highlited in red
## RPM
Messgröße1=RPM
Einheit1=RPM
Symbol1=RPM
Faktor1=0.013883104262113
## above (oben): motor rpm 2-pole normalized (2-Pole-normalisiert)
## alternatively (alternativ): rpm motor: 2/pole-number (2/Polanzahl)
## --- example (Beispiel): /5 for a 10-pole (/5 für einen 10-Poler)

Then save copy and paste this file into C:\Users\mercuriell\AppData\Roaming\LogView\Geraete\OpenFormat
Open logview then under devices, choose device, open format you will find your renamed headspeed template
Thats it

Or at this stage copy and paste the following
%appdata%\logview\geraete\openformat

into windows explorer and press return, and it will take you to the right directory to put the .ini file in. If you try to look for AppData you may not find it as it is hidden!

Thanks gents - I fugured out how to mod the Factoring no probs but it was the correct location of the .ini file in Apps Data rather than the LV program files that foxed me ! All good now

Great, had me scratching for a while, why i posted the location, not always easy for non computer geeks like myself

Is it preset for 10 pole? Or do I have to do this formula all my kosmik I have 4525

You can download a Kosmik ini file from here which is for 10 pole, like your 4525. Paste that in the directory as detailed above, select device, then import data.

Ok thank you so much.. It's a lot learning the graph.. In a way to get better performance
