BK Controller set up problem

Ok, so I figured out that it wouldn't program until I reversed the direction of the throttle on my radio. So now it will go through all the steps of programming...however it keeps going through those steps now. What I mean is even if I don't take the "little red jumper" off to program it it is always in the programming mode (even when the "little red jumper" is still on). What the heck is going on??? Am I missing something?

Here's some pictures.

Good, I was correct on channel polarity.
Next step, why you are still in programming mode?
-Check if red jumper actually shorting two pins together, sometimes metal clip inside jumper falls out.
-Make sure that you turn power off after you put jumper back on, not oppoiste.
-Cross your fingers :)

Have you tried a receiver pack yet? I have also heard BK's prefer 5v over 6v. What is your ubec running at?

I soldered UBEC directly to ESC power plugs and disable internal BEC. BK ESC prefers 5v only when internal BEK is not disabled, I cannot see any component inside which would cost a grif at 6v. Let me know if I am missing something.

it doesn't appear that the 2 pins are touching each other or anything like that.

I don't understand what is wrong with it when it worked for you when you tested it?

Just to make sure I have everything plugged in properly...the steering servo plugs into spot 1 in my receiver, the ESC goes into spot 2 in the receiver and the UBEC goes into the battery spot...is that correct?

Sorry for confusion, two pins need to be shorted when red jumper installed, if the jumper is bad then controller would be always in programming mode. Make sure that your jumper are good or replace it with known good one.

I'm pretty sure it is going to work for you as well, there is nothing wrong with ESC.

All the connections are correct, just to make sure you are getting all 3 beeps for entering in programming mode, for full power and for full reverse.

is there somewhere I can purchase just the jumper to see if that's the problem?

Just short to pins together with bare wire, that should prevent you from entering into programming mode and will check jumper as well. You testing with 12cell's NiMh, right?

ok, I will try that when I get home from work today.

Yes, 12 cells and they are NiMh
