the CLI).
Multiplex SRXL and Sensorbus
Connect the SRXL output with Sig. | RX-Pin. And if you need telemetry, connect Sensorbus with
TLM | TX. If a valid SRXL signal is detected, Sensorbus is automatically activated. The ESC uses
SRXL channel 3 as the standard throttle channel. This can be changed in the CLI interface. It uses
Sensorbus ID 2-6, configurable in the CLI. Available telemetry: Voltage (Volts), Current (Amps),
Consumption (mA/h) - Temperature (°C), RPM (standard for 14-pole magnet motor, configurable in
the CLI).
TBS Crossfire
Connect the CRSF TX output with Sig. | RX-Pin. And if you need telemetry, connect CRSF RX
with TLM | TX. The throttle channel used is CRSF channel 0. Available telemetry: Voltage (Volts),
Current (Amps), Consumption (mA/h).
KISS ESC - Calibration & 3D Mode
This process only needs to be carried out if the ESC is used with a 3rd party FC or serial receiver
and PWM/oneshot/multishot signal input. Calibration must only be carried out with PWM signal!
The default setting is 1000μS min signal, 1050μS start signal and 2000μS full throttle signal. To
teach the transmitter path (throttle path), the ESC / controller must be connected to a receiver or FC
without the ESC being powered - LiPo disconnected. Set the throttle signal to full throttle (peak
gas). Connect the LiPo to the ESC / controller. A beep indicates confirmation that the programming
mode is activated. Reduce the throttle signal to a minimum (usually 1000μs) and wait for the speed
controller to restart (audible signal high-low-high). The throttle path is now programmed and the
ESC/controller is ready for use.
3D Mode
Caution: The loads that arise for the ESC in 3D mode are up to 3 times higher! After the throttle
path has been programmed as described above, the 3D mode can be activated as follows:
Disconnect the power supply, set the throttle signal to full throttle. Reconnect the power supply,
wait for the beep. Set the throttle to the middle position (half throttle path) and wait for the ECS /
speed controller to restart (signal: high-low-high). The 3D mode is now active. Important! The
speed controller now only starts at the throttle middle position. Deactivation: Teach new master
path. Deactivation of the 3D mode: Teach new master path as explained above.
KISS ESC - FW Update
This guide is valid for KISS ESC >18A and FW >1.1. The KISS ESC has a KISS bootloader for
easy updates via the signal input cable via an FC or USB-UART.
• Software Update with KISS FC Here you don't have to change any connection as the
wiring is as it is needed for flying. Remove all propellers! Connect the FC to your PC.
Power the ESCs. Open the KISS GUI and connect to the FC. Go to the ESC Flasher tab,
select an FW and start the flash process.
• Software Update via Betaflight The KISS Flash Loader app is required for this update.
Remove all propellers! Connect the FC to your PC. Power the ESCs. Open the Betaflight
GUI, go to the CLI and enter "escprog ki 255". Close the COM port! Open the KISS Flash
