Default Controler Problem

Hello there.
I have a problem with ESC TMM 2512-3s PL using BEC function. It simply doesnt work at all. When i power the ESC on the controler starts beeping after couple seconds. It looks like the receiver is not working at all off BEC.
When i plug another RX battery with the same configuration everything works like a charm.
The voltage on controler-rx connection is 4.84V without RX connected. With RX it goes down to 2V.
Im using AXI 2808/24, Futaba FP-R127DF, 3 HS-81MG and KAN 8x1800.
Thanx for any tips and solutions.

I saw your note with the issue you are having with your controller. I am wondering if you are using the BEC functionality of the BEC or if you are trying to power the receiver from a separate battery? I don't have this particular ESC but I have played with a few and have not had any issues yet that were not due to either the programming or mis-wiring.

If the BEC needs to be enabled, make sure it's enabled properly. It never hurts to double check. A problem like this is often something ridiculously simple like that.

The controller is beeping because it is not receiving a control signal. 2V is definitely not enough to power the receiver.

Is the main battery fully charged?

You may want to contact the vendor you got the ESC from if these suggestions don't help. The BEC regulator circuit might be faulty.
