Tx and Rx bind issues!?
Hi,
I managed to tear out the antennae for my AR600 so bought a new one. The last onestill worked, but obviously wanted to be safe.
I am using a DMX5e so binded the Rx as usual but i dont seem to be getting my servos to work. The throttle works just fine and seems to have lots of power.
When i try and use the airleron, rudder etc, the ar600 just seems to stutter and the led goes out until i let go of the control stick or the servo being used buzz's but doesnt seem to move. On a couple instances the servo pulls hard over.
I have rebinded many time and even tried the old brocken one which does the same now.
Any ideas please?

RE: Tx and Rx bind issues!?
Thats what i thought, so tried another battery.
I am running it using a 3c 11.4v lipo and an e-flite 30c brushless esc. The throttle works fine. i can power it right up with no problems, so why would a servo brown it out.
ive tried a few batteries with the same result!

Assuming all of the connector plugs are inserted properly?
Do you have a 4.8 or 6.0 volt receiver battery pack? If so try plugging that into the receiver with the ESC/throttle disconnected and see what happens with the servos.
If not plug in a meter into one of the empty receiver connectors and see what voltage is coming from the ESC. If you don't have a meter take another ESC and connect it to the receiver and see what happens. If not then with the ESC/throttle connected try plugging in one servo at a time, power up and see if the servo works, then disconnect that servo, plug in another , power-up and see if that one works, etc.
If all of that fails take it to someone with a meter and see what kind of voltage there is at the receiver.
Sounds to me like a voltage issue from the ESC's internal regulator or you have a servo with an internal short since you have the same issue on two receivers.

Have you tried disconnecting the ESC and connecting a 4.8v-6v Rx battery to the Rx? This will eliminate the ESC as the problem. The ESC has a BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) that controls the voltage to the Motor and the Rx. Some eFlight ESC's are programmable.
