Can't program ESC's

Hi all, 

Firstly, equipment - Mystery 30A ESC's & a HobbyKing HK-T6A v2 TX/RX. 

Originally I went through the setup in the mission planner and configured the radio, all going well and through this I confirmed that the throttle control is on channel 3. 

I tried auto config and following these instructions I got a single ESC to beep. Upon moving the throttle back to zero it actually began spinning up the motor, then to stop it I had to move the throttle back high. 

Since auto config didn't work I moved onto manual config mode. I figured I'd begin with the single ESC that responded in auto mode. No matter where I left the throttle stick (with all ESC plugs into CH3) up, down, I couldn't get any beeps at all when I plugged the LiPo in. 


I tried a different ESC and the same issue arose, no matter what happened I couldn't get it to beep at all. 

Can anyone please suggest any idea's for what I might try next?

Thanks all.

  • Hmm I imagine I can certainly do that, but when I go into the mission planner I throttle up and that coincides with the signal going high, down throttle matches low, does this still mean I need to reverse it? I'll try either way. 

    Also, is there anything you need to do to 'save' the configuration you make in the mission planner? I simply complete the configuration but I'm just double checking that gets automatically saved and I don't need to do anything further to keep the configuration saved. 

  • It appears that you need to reverse your throttle channel and possibly your rudder also.

    Fire up the Mission Planner and use the radio setup tool to see that the channels are setup correctly.
