RE: The ESC is the Torox 185 (Hobby Wing rebrand).
I had calibrated several similar ESC before with the steps below:
Turn on transmitter.
Hold Set button on ESC and turn on, release Set when it starts chirping/red light flashing.
Make sure transmitter is in neutral. Press Set once. One beep/green flash.
Depress throttle on transmitter fully, hold. Then press Set button. Two beeps/2 green flashes.
Reverse/brake on transmitter fully, hold. Press Set button. 3 beeps/3 green flashes.
Turn off ESC. You are ready.
But this time I only get neutral confirmation with 1 green flash. The next 2 steps for full forward and full reverse had no green flash no matter how long I hold the set button.
Note also that, even with the first neutral setup I had to hold the set button for 5-8 seconds before the 1 green flash!
I did make sure that the throttle channel is all set properly (travel at +-100, trim at 0, etc.).
After failing I tried to increase the throttle travel to +-105, +-110, +-125 but none worked.
I also calibrated the TX (steering and throttle) which is the Spektrum DX5C with SR6100AR RX.
BTW, the steering works fine.
I also noticed that while setting up, if I pulled full forward or reverse throttle, the RX orange led will dim to almost nothing.
Moreover at one point, the throttle started working BUT no reverse even the programming box confirmed that the ESC was set with Forward/Reverse/Brake.
Later, I tried the DX3 with the same no go result.
Note: initially I used the DX3 and it wokred fine, then I want to use the DX5C and rebind it with 2 different SR6100AT with same result as above.
What did I do wrong or the ESC is defective?
Thanks
