ESC + Receiver + Controller setup help
Hi all.
I just need a lil bit of help setting this up - I can't seem to get my ESCs to respond to my Radio throttle even though it seems like they're recognizing it's signal.
My setup:
-Futbaba radio 6EXA, using PCM
-PCM Futaba Receiver, model R146iP
-Channel 34 Crystal in controller and receiver
-2 brushless outrunners with 2 Lipo friendly ESCs
-One Lipo battery
-A Y harness connecting the two ESCs into channel 3 on the receiver.
-Y harness connecting the ESCs into a battery
-No on/off switch yet as I'm just trying to see if the motors respond.
I first found that the ESCs just beep at me when i hook up the battery to my Y harness powering them - when push down on the receiver crystal (with my radio set to on), the ESCs seem to pick up signal and then beep at me at intervals like the instructions said they would.
I then follow the ESC instructions where you have to like set your thottle position fully up, wait for beeps, then set it to the down position, and then i get a couple more beeps - after the last set of beeps, I'm not getting any reaction from the motors...am I missing something here?
Thanks all.
