SP140
Intro
The current OpenPPG SP140 Controller is based on the ESP32 platform and uses the webserial API to communicate from your browser to your device. Supported desktop browsers are listed here.
Performance Mode
The performance mode changes the dynamics of the SP140 throttle and serves different flying styles. “Chill” is less responsive and reduces max power to ~80%. “Sport” unlocks full power and is more sensitive to slight input changes.
We recommend flying in chill mode until you get comfortable with the instant power the OpenPPG SP140 can provide.
You can toggle the performance mode by holding down the top button on the SP140 controller while disarmed. A beep confirms the change.
Updating firmware
New firmware can add features and improve functionality. To update the firmware on the ESP32-based controller:
- Connect the controller to your computer via USB.
- Use the web-based firmware update tool.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update process.
