I've only dealt with ESCs in multirotors, where with the KK board menu and programming cards, they're pretty straightforward to get working. I have a Lazertoyz ESC and 2 no-name ones from a local shop that I'm trying to get working in my first power pod. I'll explain my problems below, but it's worth noting: I've swapped out all the other parts when testing, so I know all the parts are in perfect working condition --- the problem is me
My problem is that I can't seem to get them working by following the (sparse) instructions. Most of the time I connect the battery, it beeps (one long high, with 3 short). From here, my servos usually work, and my motor either doesn't work, or will spin slowly at full throttle and full trim. Now at this point, a complicated series of unplugging things and plugging them back in, switching the TX on and off, and playing with the controls will eventually result in everything working 100%. But there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, and I have to do it EVERY time I connect the battery.
When I first connected one of the ESCs, it went right into Programming mode and managed to calibrate it. However, I haven't been able to get back into Prog Mode since.
Like I said, every part is working, and I'm working with 3 different escs. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm using a Turnigy 9x, but have the same problems on an HK Orange
