Unusual behevior ESC

[stanley]

Just fitted a new pheonix ice100 data logging swithable bec to my T rex 600 ESP (dx 7 rx 7000 ) all went well until I hit the throttle hold then as in slowstart head speed slowly rises ? and i have to hit thr, hold off to stop the motor increasing speed HELP ?

Have you done the throttle atvs in the transmitter?
Set to 60 H & L
Plug in battery (best to take off the pinion) at high stick, it should tone then adjust the atv up until it beeps again.
Then go low stick & and do the same.
Disconnect battery
Set T hold to -5

That should do it

Sacko might come in on this if i missed anything

Had the same problem recently with my brother's ESC and setting the throttle H and L points did the trick

Sacko's (Paul) instructions did the trick:

You need to calibrate it.

Make sure you have a linear curve
Reduce ATV to 50% on throttle (both figures)
Turn the heli on with full throttle.
Increase ATV until you hear the 'tone'
Go to full negative, increase the ATV until you hear the 'tone'

Personally, if you arent to sure what you are doing, I would remove the maingear.

Here's the thread:

Yeah it's very important to set the end points before you fly.
The instruction above are correct, Do you have the PC link?
It makes setting up the esc very easy.

Castle Creations have a 'How To' series of videos here. If you decide to 'Enable' auto-Rotation mode its best to re-do the setup.

Thanx all for your input much appreciated
can I pull one wire from the motor to do the initial set up ?

No, the motor is needed to provide the tones, leave the wires plugged in and move the motor on it's mount so that the pinion and main gear are not in contact.

I have now gone through the manual set up (as i dont have a pc/card link yet ) and all seems ok after a quick hover
throttle hold is now -5
i have a constantly flashing yellow light on th ESC is this normal ?
can i now alter my throttle curve from liniar ?
when checking my main rotor pitch at half stick the motor chimed in briefly this was without the li/po being connected ?
do i leave my new high/low throttle atv settings a sin set up from now on ?
I know these may by stupid questions but iam always very gratefull for any response

CORRECT

i have a constantly flashing yellow light on th ESC is this normal ?
YES, it shows the data logger is working and the yellow will flash until the data logger memory is full at which time it will stay on continuously.

can i now alter my throttle curve from liniar ?
YES, now that your throttle end points have been established you can set your throttle curves in the normal way.

when checking my main rotor pitch at half stick the motor chimed in briefly this was without the li/po being connected ?
Not sure about this one, but if the flight pack wasn't connected i wouldn't worry about it too much.

do i leave my new high/low throttle atv settings a sin set up from now on ? YES, the ATV figures represent the established H and L enpoints for your throttle. DO NOT ALTER THEM.

I know these may by stupid questions but iam always very gratefull for any response

Not realy stupid questions............... but the answers to some of them are in the instructions
