ESC PROBLEMS! PLZ HELP!
« on: May 13, 2016, 07:16:42 am »
Hi, I just changed my dsm2 Satellite to a nice futaba 8ch RX and the ESCs are refusing to spool up in calibration!

ie the front two motors do spool up after like 30s whilst playing with the throttle and when they do spool up they work the whole min-max-range and should be good in the air, but the back two motors do NOT turn, Ive double and triplechecked most things, I have run out of things to do in order to get this working, all wizards are done, the TX is done are is sending the right signals as far as I can tell, EMax 2300kv with Emax"simon"Esc 12A, do they have a special calibration procedure?

I did NOT build this quad from scratch. its a swap, so the PDB looks a little messy, opened it up allthough a bit messy al soldering was correct as far as I can see.. !!

plz help me, grounded for 14days and counting

The one thing I can think to suggest is not use the 'all at once' ESC cal but cal them individually. It's a PITA but for me has never failed.
