Suppo ESC programming issue

[Chenige]

Well I finally have the issue with the HobbyKing ESC's resolved.

Now I have an issue with the 70A Boat ESC's I bought used here. After programming you are supposed to push the trigger forward for 2 beeps. When I release the trigger the motor comes on for 2 seconds and then stops and will not do anything when the trigger is pushed backwards or forwards. I can re initialize by rehooking up the battery and it does exactly the same thing.

Here is the manual I am using: http://www.astecmodels.co.uk/suppo-esc.htm

Using option 1.1 for 3S battery.
Under option 2 I am using the first choice.

Does anyone have any idea on how to go back to the default settings?

thanks

cant anyone help this guy?

When you push the trigger foward & here 2 beeps dont release the trigger but unplugg the boats power whilst still holding full brake on the trigger.

it could be that your throttle channel is reversed, I never had problems like that when programming my 200A

After you select an option and change a setting, and it confirms with a long beep - unplug the battery. It should save the setting.

I have an update to a (presumed suppo) guide that now says after all settings have been made, put the trigger in the CENTER position. You might try that if the above doesn't work.

[Boaterguy]

is that a new one? the older ones say push the trigger all the way back and then the ESC will arm.

I tried everything above and still the same issue.

I did try something. I programmed it for NiMH with .8V /cell cutoff and it works! So it appears to be a cutoff issue. I did program for the last choice which is 1 short + 6 long which is supposed to be 3S/9V cutoff.

Any ideas? I have contacted Suppo and waiting an answer.

I have found more info.

These ESC’s came out of a Apparation boat: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=11739

I found the attached Suppo directions. It has a 70A ESC that is not capable of 3S. I believe that is the ESC I have because I only have cell choices to 1 short + 6 long. Also if I set it to 1 short + 1 long (NiMH .8v/cell cutoff) it works.

But the boat they came out of is 3S so I am confused.

Any ideas?

[Boaterguy]

so the ESC is a max 2S? or is it a hv one? strange that they would do that

[Chenige]

No, it looks to be a MV with only 4S - 8S and NiMH as programmable.

Option 1.2 Cell Type and Number of Cells

—
Only for 70A (MV as 4S-8S)
• — 1 Short + 1 Long NiMh/NiCD Auto Cell Count - 0.8V/Cell
Cutoff Voltage *
• — — 1 Short + 2 Long 8S Li-Po (29.6V) – 24V Cutoff Voltage**
• — — — 1 Short + 3 Long 7S Li-Po (25.9V) – 21V Cutoff Voltage
• — — — — 1 Short + 4 Long 6S Li-Po (22.2V) – 18V Cutoff Voltage
• — — — — —1 Short + 5 Long 5S Li-Po (18.5V) – 15V Cutoff Voltage
• — — — — — — 1 Short + 6 Long 4S Li-Po (14.8V) – 12V Cutoff Voltage

I wonder if its this one????? I had a 200A Suppo that would not program on the link you have posted. I did it w/ this one and it worked perfectly.

Wrong link. Hang on.......

Im looking at it on paper, but I cant find it now online. When your programming, do the beeps match whats on the sheet you have in each section. For example, The way I figured that these instructions were wrong for the 200 I have is that in one of the sections there should have been for example a short beep followed by 5 long beeps and it was only going to 4 long beeps.. there was no 5 as the instructions said there would be. I discoverd this after I blew up the first esc on its intitial power up after programming. Also that there was supposed to be 6 options according to the manual and there was only 5. If your only goes to prorgammning option 5 and not 6 which would be 1 short beep and 6 long, let me know and Ill scan this for you.

[Chenige]

I have in the cell section 1 short and 6 long as the last option. The link you gave gives up to 1 short and 7 longs.

In the initial programming there are 6 choices, not 5 as yours has.

thanks.

[tiqueman]

I didnt notice that difference in the one I linked. Maybe that was the difference. I was going by memory. It did 7 instead of 6 options. So if the one I linked matches the beeps on yours and not the beeps on the original post, try that and see if it works.

[tiqueman]

Another option would be to contact Ben at Fightercat. Hes a wealth of knowledge on China ESC programming or at least can steer you in the right direction.

I just e-mailed Chenige back concerning the esc's.

hope my info works out for him.
