Weird MM issue - 01.31.2011, 05:07 PM

Ran into an interesting issue while I was programming an old MM today.

Had not used this esc for a year or so, had version 1.20 on it.

Updated it to v 1.30 wired everything and did the tranmitter programming, after it went thru all of the beeps the red led flashed quickly and i could not get the motor to turn or any of the other leds to light.

So I put it back to v 1.20 and everything worked great. Tried to go back and do v1.29 and had the same flashing led. Then tried v 1.28 and it worked, and was noticeably smoother than v 1.20.

Had a look on cc website, and found this:

Look at the notes for 1.29, "•Feature: RED led will flash if excessive voltage detected"

Guessing since I am running 4s lipo, the programming will not allow that when updated with the v 1.29 firmware. I am using a ccbec, and have the internal bec disconnected. I have also always ran this MM on 4s, no issues.

Just something to be aware of...
