DX6i and Programmable ESC's

[pww1955]

Hi Guys

Can you carry out the following instructions using a DX6i ?
I need to setup my throttle range as the blades spin at zero throttle and I thought I'd read somewhere that this was not possible with these Tx's

C.2 Throttle range setting procedures
Step1: Push the throttle stick to the top position (full On throttle),
Step2: Switch the transmitter on,
Step3: Switch the ESC on (normally by connecting batteries)
Step4: System detects the Max. throttle signal, and makes two “beep” sounds, which denotes that Max. throttle has been confirmed and saved.
Step5: Pull the throttle stick to the bottom position (full Off throttle) within 5 seconds,
Step6: System detects the Min. throttle signal and makes a long “beep” sound.
Step7: System detects battery voltage and makes several short “beep” sounds, which denotes the number of battery cells.
Step8: System self-check occurs. If it is normal, you will hear a “♪ 1 2 3” tune, push the throttle stick to start up.
If the system doesn’t detect the throttle signal, it will constantly make “beep” sounds without stopping.
Any fault in self-check, it will make 20 short “beep” sounds.

Thanks

This sounds like setting the ESC up rather than the TX !!! Which ESC is it ?

Hi Heliphil,

Yes you're right. I need to setup the esc but I need to know if the DX6i will put out a 100% throttle signal, or whether safety features prevent the situation.

Yes I understand - afaik it will put out enough - if you think its not enough you can increase the movement available on the DX6i to 125% on the throttle channel...

I did not have any problems setting up my CC10 ESC with the DX6i

Hi Heliphil,
Sorry if I'm not quite making myself clear here. When you switch on the Tx with throttle at 100%, does it output a full signal on the throttle channel or does the electronics in the Tx prevent the signal being output for safety reasons to prevent instant startup of the blades.
If this is the case I can't program using the Tx and need to find a program card for the esc.
Gotta go now....back later
