Is anyome still using a Pistix adapter with the CC ICE esc's?

[Raydee]

I tried one with my Ice 200 and no matter what I do I have to give over 1/4 throttle just to get the motor to move. For you guys that are using the Pistix with the Ice controllers is that normal?

Did you calibrate the throttle in the ESC program? Not sure the ICE requires that but most of the ESC's I use, that's the very first step.

[Raydee]

Yep I cablibrated and played with the end points and sub trims with no effect.

Ray,

The PiStix puts out an extremely low "off" in the off position, 1.0ms. Most ESCs like to see 1.1ms. This was done because there are a few that either auto-calibrate (and then it's no problem) or that need the 1.0ms.

I would put a Y adapter into the rx and see what is happening to the signal going to the ESC. It may be that you need to calibrate the Tx to the PiStix first.

I still do and they seem to work normal.

[Raydee]

Andy do you mean the way the Pistix instructions describe?

Baked are you using a Spektrum radio??

[BakedMopar]

No airtronics.

I use PiStix on my three ICE controllers, no such issues for me with my FASST 4PK.

Hmm maybe it has something to do with Spektrum then?
