can someone please make a video of Lazertoyz 10amp esc programming?

[vishal]

I have been trying to program throttle range, each time I disconnect the battery, the programming is lost and the motor starts from above mid throttle.
it will be a huge help for a newbie like me.
I built a FT flyer and ordered the electronics from lazertoys. I have been having no luck with esc.
there is no clear literature on braking etc, do I need to change all that?
what it does is one been, two beep .... five beep mean and should I really change all that?
there is a music as soon as connect battery then it goes into beep cycles, 1 beep 5 times, 2 beep 5 times ....

programming esc should not be this tough, where does esc store throtte range?

Thanks,
Vishal

Exactly what steps are you taking when programming throttle end points ?

The ESCs from LazerToys appear to be EMAX brand.

Youtube vid, don't copy these settings, it's just to show HOW one would go about the settings.

Thanks William for responding.

I follow the exact steps.
I am using th9x with opentx,
my throttle goes from -100 to 100
100 being full throttle.

I switch on the radio, put the throttle to max ( 100 )
then connect the battery to esc, (Blue wonder motor is attached to the esc.)
esc is connected to
the first sound I hear from the motor is music.
( i think I should hear two beeps for the max throttle)
then I bring my throttle to minimum (-100),
I hear a beep. ( I think it acknowledges the minimum throttle)
then if I check, the motor starts around -70, all looks good.

now when I disconnect the battery and connect battery again,
the motor starts at around 38, that's way above mid throttle,

I had an esc do that and it ended up being bad, had to get it replaced.

tested with a suppo 10amp esc from altitude hobbies, same issue, looks like suppo learns throttle range itself.
wonder where is the problem!!!
could it be the radio itself?
but when I changed the suppo esc from NiMH to Lipo
the throttle range was correct
pardon me for asking but do you guys program throttle range before each flight?
thats what I will need to do I guess.
back to basics, how does esc store throttle range?

You should only need to do it once. My bad esc was also a suppo.

it was a bummer,
for the newbies. i was always connecting the batteries to the esc first and then switching on the radio.
We must switch on the radio first.
all works well.
