swordfish 240 esc help

[DeltaForceMan]

Just recently put power to this esc and hooked up my program box to it. The screen "update your esc or press ok" when I press ok the screen goes blank??? Would appreciate any input thanks.

Do you have both leads from the esc plugged into the box like Diagram 2 opto esc in the instructions?
Switch on?

Yes, the receiver lead and the lead that consists of a black and red wire. Bolth have been plugged in and it won't get past the first screen after o press ok it just goes blank... maybe its a program box problem??

Thanks for your response

Did you try checking the box firmware thru the pc link? A long shot mine was up to date.

Maybe that's the problem.. I'll have to get the USB link and try it.

It's probably a firmware update problem, have you had this ESC a while and just now using it?

[DeltaForceMan]

Just got it a couple weeks ago.

Do you have these instructions? http://media.wix.com/ugd/6bc562_69a7...e1a9f4b490.pdf

[DeltaForceMan]

I did not but I haven't done anything out of the normal with this setup. I will go over all options.

[flraptor07]

Go through those instructions and see if you missed something.

The controller HAS to be connected to the computer to update software, other wise where is it going to get the update from?
