motor won't turn;( hkss serie esc)

Posted by azerty09 on August 30, 2013 at 11:18am

hello

after setting up my elevon correctly (thanks again!!!!), the motor doesn't turn when moving the stick:(

plugging in a lipo does react in one beep from the motor ( no two beeps like before (I think))

but the motor won't turn (the apm showes a brown light that says it's ready)

Is it possible there is sth wrong in my firmware or sth?

thanks in advance

    Assuming you have the throttle channel setup on the transmitter (CH1 or CH3)

    You may need to calibrate the ESC..

    REMOVE PROP/REMOVE PROP/REMOVE PROP

    Turn on transmitter and push to full throttle

    Power up the ESC.. after the first series of beeps pull throttle down to zero and it should beep at you again.. 

    power everything down (incl transmitter)

    Set throttle to zero, turn on transmitter

    power up esc..  should arm and be ready to go..  


    Test without the prop on the thing make sure the motor spools up..

    You have to set throttle alignment with ESC and APM. Turn on your Radio and move the throttle stick to the top. Plug in the power for APM and you will notice 2 or 3 tones of ESC then bring the throttle down to 0 and ESC should activate. Try it couple of times if it should not work the first time.
