MM LiPo Cutoff Issues
 
I'm trying to turn on the LiPo cutoff and when I turn it on, the controller stops working. It will work when it is set to No Cutoff or 5.0v, but not anything else. My batteries are above the cutoff voltage. It seems like its not arming, but I can hear the beeps that says it is. . .

Are you programming it via the usb, or buy the remote? I would check to make sure you have the lastest software and firmware, as there was an issue backalong with one of the updates stoppin the esc from working properly when a custom lvc setting was used, or some't like like..

USB. Firmware is 1.17.

Castlelink version?

bensf 08.19.2008 07:03 PM

Castlelink ver 3.1

what voltage are you ruinning? The newer MMs dont like to run 5s with the LVC turned on.

brushlessboy16 08.19.2008 08:10 PM

use a custom setting

bensf 08.19.2008 08:54 PM

Its an older one which I was told ran great on 5s. I have the LVC set to 12.4 and I also tried 12 and neither worked.

entjoles 08.19.2008 09:33 PM

i had to drain a little battery (when fresh off the charger) to get it to run on 5s



what is your pack voltage at?


you may want to set your lvc to the correct input! the 12.4 or 12 is for 4s:rules:


try it on custom and at 16v:yes:

bensf 08.19.2008 09:36 PM

It was at 7.6 for each. I also tried and it wouldn't work with 2s either. . .

I'm trying to make it work with 4s, not 5s BTW

entjoles 08.19.2008 09:38 PM

are you using a external battery or a external bec?

on 2s is the red wire back in the plug to use the internal bec?

entjoles 08.19.2008 09:41 PM

if its my old one......ill buy it back , im in need of a esc. for my truck

bensf 08.20.2008 01:14 AM

And a video. 1st try is with no cutoff, second is with 12v cutoff.

bensf 08.21.2008 01:36 PM

Still have no clue how to fix this. . .

ptt81 08.21.2008 02:25 PM

hey you got the stuff I sent you? just checking up making sure everything is good

did you take out the red wire on the MM to disable the internal bec? for 4s I used 12.5v cutoff

try flashing the 1.17fw again, i know its long shot but firmware may have corrupted

I've been meaning to, but just haven't had the time. :neutral:

And yes I got everything and it all looks great.
