OK in the pic, where you have the clear tubing to make your series connections, are you sure those are making connection? Also for programing you can do it with just one battery, 4s 6s 5s or what ever. you just program it for whatever you're going to be running it at. The yellow tag wire has to be plugged into the box.

Ken I'll be off here for just a little while I'm leaving work and going home.Comment

Drive safe! Thanks for your help!
I'm measuring 32 volts on the ESC wires which is right.
I removed the receiver battery and plugged in the yellow label cable. Turning the ESC on and off the program box goes on and off. So that's good.
If I push the OK button the screen goes blank.Comment

OK I'm back, Try this, unhook everything then hook everything back up. 1st the two pro gram box plugs 2nd batteries to the ESC then turn the switch on last see what happens. one other thing I've always had the motor hooked up when I'm programing.Comment

Did just that. I get the initial screen, when I press OK the text goes away. Press left arrow, nothing happens. Did this a few times.
Before when I did this I did get to the parameter screen, but not getting that far now.
Tried it using only one battery, same result. 16 volts on the ESC wires.Comment

OK let me go put my hands on one of mine and see if I can duplicate what's happening to you, be right back!Comment

The backlite is still on, just no text on the screen so it has power.Comment

ok do you have the three wire esc plug in the right way? it can go in two ways..Comment

It is easy to flip that wire, but I can see the bevel on the connector and that bevel matches the one in the HiTec receiver. I made sure neg wire goes into the box the right way. I can see - + and a signal icon by the connector on the box. So I have it correct, made sure many times.
Picture, right connector
right = neg
middle = positive
left = signal
Picture, left connector
right = neg
middle = positiveComment

Did you try hooking up the motor and try it?Comment

'Upgrade or press OK connect ESC'
When I press OK the text goes away.
Did not connect the motor yet.

try it with the motor hooked up, I always have the motor hooked up when I program. That's the only difference between what you're doing and the way I do it. The only other thing is I usually test run mine first, make sure the direction of rotation is right, link my RX, set my throttle travel then I program.Comment

Will try that. Will have to wait til Saturday.
Thanks for your help, appreciate it!Comment

OK flraptor07, hope your there being a weekend. Did all the same thing with the program box, when I press OK I get nothing, same as before.
Setup the batteries, motor and ESC as though I'll be running it, the ESC does two short beeps then 8 long beeps. When I pull the throttle on the transmitter, nothing. I tested the channel by plugging in a servo, that channel is working fine. I sent an email to Steve as well, but I saw someplace he might be on vacation, not sure, haven't heard from him.
Any more ideas?Comment
