Problems using the programming card???

[sn00p]

Right i finally received the card and hve tried numerous times to get it to re-arm after re-programming wit the card.

Basically followed the instructions to the T. When i remove the programming card and re-power up the boat i do not get the arming tones??? ONLY way i can get it to re-arm is to hold full throttle when connecting up???

By doing this i have NO idea what settings the ESC is at as im not even sure the esc has taken the card settings or by powering up full thrittle if i changing thesettings.

All set as follows:-

Lipo
High cutoff
idle cutoff type
brake off
high timing
linear throttle

ive tried all other combinations but still no joy? Im plugging the ESC lead in on top right side NO external power as im using the esc via the lipos???

Anyways i got to run it 5s today and lost the hatch in 1 min lol..... manged to get it back eventually. All i can say is WOW

REALLY want to get the programmer working correctly any ideas

Not to worry i now have it working correctly.

For anyone having issues going by the instructions for ME didnt work. However if you leave the switch ON plug the card and then connect 2 batteries it seem to beep with the program setting. Now remove batteries then the ESC cord and replace in the RX. Power up with bateries and switch on and you should get the magic tone of the ESC arming

NOT connect bateries with power button off then switch on... Just leave the switch on and use plugging the bateries in as powerup/off.

Ive posted in both fastech and BJ threads.

Just got my lipos in today and like you, I followed the Proboat card instructions to the "T". No luck arming but had full rudder control. Then followed your instructions and it cranked right up. I have a pair of 35c 5200mAh lipos hooked up and when that prop turned over - WOW! is all I can say. Big difference from 6 cell nihm.

Anyways, THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this thread because you just made this so much easier for me.
