Turnigy ESC programming help

[ScarabChris]

OK I have the Turnigy marine 120s and the program card. I went through the instructions which seemed very simple. I did the programming and the blue light is flashing indicating the card is now programming the ESC.

But how long does that take? After 20 minutes I figured there was an error and disconnected everything. Then tried to reconnect the ESC again and I got no response from the card.

So I moved to the other ESC and did the programming. Blue LED is still blinking after 10 minutes.

Am I doing something wrong?

did you setup the throttle points on the ESC with your TX?

[ScarabChris]

Nope. I guess I need to do that first?

[ScarabChris]

I'm about to take a sledge hammer to this thing! I am doing exactly what the ESC instructions tell me to enable reverse. The beeps acknowledge the command but no reverse.

AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH

[ScarabChris]

Damn I'm losing it here.

I got forward programmed.

I must have went though the reverse programming 20 times and still no reverse. That was a huge thing for me to have reverse. And now I get nothing from the card, not one light lit up.

[ScarabChris]

OK duhhhh never mind I got the reverse. I had the throw turned down on the TX. Jesus I feel stupid.

But I still get no response when plugging the card.

Toss it, you have a bad card or setup problem, explain how you are setting it up and power sequence.

Hmmm... I'm kinda new to this brushless/ESC thing so I'm not sure what you mean by power sequence.

I got the ESCs to do what I wanted them to with exception to setting up the low voltage cut off. Thats what I was hoping to do with the card.

I am powering the card with the receiver battery pack and plugging the ESC into the card and plugging the LiPo into the ESC. This is exactly how the instructions say to do it.

[ScarabChris]

[carlcisneros]

correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the Turnegy 120 ESC the same as the swordfish 120 ESC?

[ScarabChris]

This is the one.
