Back on to my ALZRC 380 build project after waiting for a few additional parts - a much slower process these days.
I am unable to successfully complete the ESC/Radio calibration. The ALZRC 60A ESC manual says :
1. Turn on the transmitter and move the throttle stick to the top position
2. Connect a battery to the ESC, the motor will sound "123" to indicate the ESC is powered on normally.
3. 5 seconds later, the motor will beep two short beeps to indicate the max throttle endpoint is accepted
4. Move the throttle stick to the bottom position within 3 seconds after you hear those two beeps, the minimum throttle position will be accepted 1 second later
5. The motor will beep a number of beeps to indicate the number of lipo cells you have plugged in
6. The motor will beep a long beep to indicate the calibration is complete.
Instead, the ESC sounds the "123" upon connection and then just continuously beeps, steadily every second or so. The explanation of warning sounds in the manual for continuous beeps like this says the throttle range is too low. If this is in fact the problem, I don't know how to fix it. I know there is a throttle range setting in the Spirit software General tab, but this is greyed out so I cannot access it even it is the right place to go.
I have made no adjustments in my DX9: I am using linear throttle and pitch curves. The heli is all standard ALZRC 380 except using a Spirit 2 FBL unit and Spectrum SPM4651T receiver.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
