The AM32 firmware is designed for STM32 ARM processors to control a brushless motor (BLDC). -The firmware is intended to be safe and fast with smooth fast startups and linear throttle. It is meant for use with multirotor aircraft and a flight controller. The firmware can also be built with support for crawlers. +The firmware is intended to be safe and fast with smooth fast startups and linear throttle. It is meant for use with multiple vehicle types and a flight controller. The firmware can also be built with support for crawlers. For crawler usage please read this wiki page [Crawler Hardware](https://github.com/AlkaMotors/AM32-MultiRotor-ESC-firmware/wiki/Crawler-Hardware-and-AM32) ## Features AM32 has the following features: -- Firmware upgradable via betaflight passthrough - only support G4, F4 and F7 FCs, and make sure your betaflight firmware is up to date when you trying to use passthrough +- Firmware upgradable via betaflight passthrough, single wire serial or arduino - Servo PWM, Dshot(300, 600) motor protocol support - Bi-directional Dshot - KISS standard ESC telemetry - Variable PWM frequency - Sinusoidal startup mode, which is designed to get larger motors up to speed +## Build instructions +Download and install Keil community edition.
