Cheap "high voltage" esc Quest

[snellemin]

That is the ESC man, which got more expensive. I used 4.5" wide thick heatshrink and soldered on 3x 330uF 35Volt caps.

To enable the ESC, you have to put in it reverse after the first beep. You'll hear another beep, which tell you that the ESC is enabled.

What were the ratings on the stock caps that came with it?

Hmmmm.........looks interesting.

I also had some problems with mine. I think you have to set your end points. Sometimes mine worked and sometimes it didn't.

end point on my remote? What should they be set at?Do you plug the battery in on full throttle and then go to reverse. I just get the two beeps.

I made a mistake. What I did sometimes is a calibration of the controller. I only played with it for 1 day and I had the beeps like you. So I played with it some more and I held full throttle, plugged the pack and then I went full brake and then neutral. I haven't played with it much as I plan on switching the brain board with another controller.

Once it beeps, I push the throttle in reverse and hold it untill it starts to beep rapidly. Then I push the into the forward mode and let go. The beeping will stop after a few seconds. Then wait a sec or so and the ESC is armed and ready to go.

Ok. That seems easier. I know you can do both ways.

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.

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.

I'm sorry to ask you this but what is a Throttle itinerary? I'm getting the over voltage 3 beeps even with a 7.4 volt pack

I'm sorry to ask you this but what is a Throttle itinerary? I'm getting the over voltage 3 beeps even with a 7.4 volt pack and when I let off I get a steady two beeps.

It's another term for calibration. It's to recognize full throttle and full brake.
