programmingf issues with the seaking 180A on my zonda

[dbonomi]

Hi guys,

Wonder if you could help me out. When I try to program my seaking 180 esc with the program card all I get on the program card are red lines and no numerical values pop up. These units have a built in bec circuit and the programming instructions seem rather easy to follow but I cannot get the card to program. Can anyone give me specific instructions on what I have to do to get it to work?

thanks,
Don

Is this for the Seaking 180a V2 or V3, if its the V3 are you using an extension lead plugged into the 3 prongs sticking up between the motor wires to connect to the prog box.

It's the V3. Has 3 prongs. Back of program box has 2 areas for plugs. It gets confusing at that point.

only one of the programmer sockets has all three pins labeled: negative, positive, signal. Use that one. The other is only marked negative and positive.

O.K. What's next? Do I hook up the battery and turn on the Tx. How does the programming card turn on?

[fweasel]

Connect programming card to ESC, leave everything else like normal, connect the battery, programmer should light up with numbers.

Connect programming card to ESC, leave everything else like normal, connect the battery, programmer should light up with numbers.

Must be done EXACTLY in that order

Thanks! They finally lit up with values and I was able to program it. Yeah! We're off to the races.
