How do you program a modellfun esc?
 
The instructions that come with modellfun esc's are horrible, I've been trying to sink my esc with my reciver with no luck. If any one has any input please help me out. This is what I have so far, and I don't know if it's right.




1. Remote on and all settings to neutral (factory settings)?
2. Motor connected to esc and esc to reciver
3. Plug up your battery and you will hear two beeps?
4. Move throttle in to full reverse until it beeps rapidly? How long?
5. Then move the throttle to full forward. How long before you let go? Should I get any beeps before I let go, if so what kind?
6.The beeping will stop after a few seconds (which series of beeps)? Just wait a few seconds and the esc will be armed.
7. Do you need to remove the power and plug back in to operate?




If anyone else wants to give their input, please do so. You can edit the whole thing if I'm off on anything, I'm trying to get some instructions like the mamba because I don't seem to be smart enough to program these esc's with the modellfun directions.

The instructions don't make any since, did you see the ones I started. That’s what I need help with the instructions from modell fun contradict them selves in a couple of places and don't work.

I read the cailibration steps as:

1. hold trigger to 100% (full forward)
2. plug in battery
3. wait for short beep
4. release to 0% (Full reverse maybe or neutral - I suspect reverse)

Those were actuall directions from someone else I copied to see if they were close to correct, when I plug the pack in under full throttle I get the three beeps which means too much voltage but I'm only using a 7.4v pack to program I tried a 4s lipo too. Maybe my esc is junk.

What tx / rx are you using? worried that it might be timing you out before rx has had a chance to bind

jr xs3pro does that help any?

Arct1k 04.04.2008 02:45 PM

Thats just an FM reciever so should not have an issue with binding... did you try again using instructions above - these are consistent with lutach

Jammin 04.04.2008 03:02 PM

Yes, I get the three beeps for over voltage or nothing at all. I think the esc is bad.

Arct1k 04.04.2008 03:47 PM

Do you have another rx / tx to try it with?

I did the second setting on mine:

1. --no need to set up Throttle itinerary ---- startup process

pull throttle into the lowest position -- → ESC power connecting → Detect and get throttle signal one beep tone "beep" → 3 seconds delay → detected throttle lowest position → one beep tone "beep" again → can start throttle Moved.( start flying). this step total beep twice . there had light on ESC when each beep tone .


If not detected throttle signal, "beep, beep and beep ... " continued beep tones are emitted.

If the battery voltage exceeds voltage, "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP ." continued beep tones are emitted. the beep tone

pause for a bit longer,Under such circumstances, ESC refused to start motor.

2.need to set up Throttle itinerary ---- startup process


pull throttle to the highest position -- → ESC power connecting → Detect and get throttle signal one beep tone "beep" → detected maximum throttle position, "beep" tone is emitted (one beep tone) → then pull to the lowest throttle position → 3 seconds of delay → "beep" tone is emitted once, Detected the lowest throttle position → can start lifting the throttle. three beep tone is emitted .

Note : This method set up the throttle itinerary is not saved. throttle itinerary can be set up and saved permanently by our programm card.

I hope this works for everyone.
