SimonK ESC stuck in program mode?

Posted by Paul Smith on September 1, 2016 at 1:14am

I recently bought a set of four cheap ESC running SimonK firmware. (Brand is 'Andoer', bought off Amazon - yes, I realise this was a mistake)

I successfully calibrated the throttle ranges on my F450 quad with Spektrum DX8/AR8000. (High throttle, one beep, low throttle two beeps)

However I am now stuck with the ESCs doing nothing other than a regular single beep. No initial beep on power up, although I get the starting tune there is no beep). Then after 5 seconds or so a single beep comes on and is repeated.

I have done a lot of reading but can't see a solution, and this is a common newbie question/problem. I think I might be stuck in program mode maybe? (Transmitter program mode)

Any clues/hints/tips? Apart of the obvious advice to pay the money and get proper ESCs!

Thanks
