ESC QUESTION, Hifei Swordfish PLUS 200 amp

[Mecka1990]

Hi,

someone got the listed ESC like me and can give me a detailed information?

when i give full throttle, what color and how the esc flashs? mine blinks green every 0,5 seconds with full throttle, i think i read somewhere that it must be red and constant with full throttle, is that right?

solid green

turn the throttle adjust on transmitter to 120% and try again.
some 2.4ghx Tx do not calibrate SF esc properly...

i tryd, still flashing green every 0,5 seconds, set my spektrum to 125% throttle, tryd to calibrate the throttle endpoints new, esc new calibrated, still the same, hmmmm

[drwayne]

on spektrum, set throttle to 100%
Calibrate esc again with this Tx setting.
-- turn on Tx.
-- hold throttle 100%
-- turn on esc.
-- "music" dling dling dling dling .. pause beep beep ..pause.. beep beep .. pause ... beep beep ...
-- somewhere in middle of 2 beeps ( pause ) you release throttle back to zero

now adjust Spektrum throttle to 125%

try again.

got a vid for you, help me getting this stuff runnign corectly haha, i have no idea what to do. just uploading...

[Mecka1990]

so, here it is, on the first vid you can see i hold the throttle on the transmitter on 100%, connecting the esc with lipo, no 2 beeps with pauses between, hahaha, whats next?
i tryd: spektrum 100% th settings, set esc with the first 4 beeps, not solid green with full throttle (as you can see), set throttle 125%, still not solid green, but a little bit more power.

1. vid esc settings with weird sounds:

2. Spektrum dx20 125% throttle:

im getting frustrated

[Mecka1990]

and yes i set the esc´s first with 100% spektrum throttle settings and after setting them i change to 125%, i tried 125% first to and then tested, not working.
lipos are fully charged for the tests.

still same esc settings like lvs, startup, and the rest

[Mecka1990]

as you can see on the first vid the leds are only flashing with full throttle

when setting up the esc´s i tried to realese the throttle after the first period of beeps and this funny sound, but when i do so it starts again, i tried to realese, press, realese, bla bla, when i realese it with the 5. beep, it starts 5x beep, funny sound, and again beeps till 10.

[drwayne]

in video #1
you need to release throttle at 0.19 or 0.20 or 0.21 !
there is one beep ... beep ... beep ... beep !
not 2 .. have not heard this routine before, but means same.,

[Mecka1990]

[drwayne]

what usb setting for this esc ?

[Mecka1990]

what usb setting for this esc ?

lvc: 5cells (tryd already 2 cells lvc, maybe lvc was on, wasnt)
Startup: standart (tryd soft and fast, fast startup is not good because he jumps from 20% throttle instantly to over 60% and he is screaming, dont want my boat try to fly)
pwm rate: 8 khz (tryd 12 and 16)
timing: auto
Cutoff Voltage/Cell: 3.1
Brake Types: no brakes
Cutoff Type: Hard Cutoff
