APM 2.5 and turnigy plush 12A

Posted by Al Creigh on July 25, 2013 at 4:13pm

Anyone else know or had problems with these two? I can't seem to get my APM 2.5 and turngy plush ESC to arm. Calibrated and everything they spin separately with direct receiver control. But when I try and plug it in through APM that damn red light just keeps blinking... Even when I put the sticks in any corner for 4 sec.

    Hi Al,

    I did once have a similar issue with an APM2.0 & cheap ESC in a FunJet. I found that moving the Tx away from the FunJet or switching the Tx to Range Test Mode (to reduce its output) and then powering up the FunJet fixed the issue.

    Seemed like having the Tx too close was causing some type of interference with the ESC making it think the throttle wasn't set to minimum. 

    But I agree with J , more likely to be a calibration issue.

    Did you put the throttle trim all down?

    If not.. you have to calibrate the radio again.. should work to arm after.. read the setup procedures again... more closely.. you find all that inside.

     

    Cheers
