XLX2 & 1717 issue

[six7jedi]

Any help would be appreciated. Esc just keeps beeping. Checked all connections numerous times and get servo responsefrom transmitter but no response on throttle. Also tried to update firmware via castle b-link. After several minutes, (20 at one point), no change in the progress. Bar on bottom keeps going like somethings happening but no change in the top bar indicating 1 of 3 packages. Tried calibration setup on spektrum and futaba motors.

Have you tried calibrating with throttle reversed on transmitter

 

[six7jedi]

It wont let me calibrate. Esc just keeps beeping nonstop.

Could you possibly shoot a quick video so we can see/hear what's happening? That would be really helpful.

Okay go to where esc is beeping. Then turn THROTTLE TRIM down till ya hear it recalibrate...then redo calibration and all good

Trim, definitely set to zero. Tried on here and on original felony remote.

Have video. Just trying to figure out how to post it.

Cant send video.

I assume it has not run at all?

My best guess is that you have it plugged in with sensored cable and A/B/C of the motorcables don't match the esc.

Nope, this is initial setup after getting bullets and qs connectors ready. Definitely not my first rc rodeo, just my first with Castle.

All in place firmly

Do you have a different motor you can connect to the esc? Or a different esc you can connect the motor to? I’d try changing out a motor, esc, or receiver just for diagnostic purposes.

I'm constantly switching motors an recalibrating..almost always from the beginning power systems up,then bring throttle trim down to calibrate, castle does this so ya don't have a runaway car when ya powerup...you must figure out how to bring th trim down to sink

Futaba has to have channel 2 in reverse in order to calibrate the esc

Winner winner chicken dinner
Dammit thought I had that one

Sorry, mis-read. Ch2 is reversed.

 

[Moirae]

Aux cable plugged in?

Post video on youtube and link it here.

Seen similar after someone used the bluetooth link to change settings. ESC would not react to anything and was beeping.
The only thing that helped was re-loading firmware with a USB adapter.

On one of my Castle ESCs (can't remember which one), the harness was not seated right (or the pin wasn't) - I unplugged it and re-seated the sockets inside the housing (as well as making sure the pins on the ESC were straight) and that seemed to do the trick. Before it wasn't getting any throttle response and afterwards it worked.

Just throwing that out there as an option to try.

Hello there! I have an ideea!
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I had a similar problem.
I just could not recalibrate. Initially I thought my receiver broke.
Do this: Create a new profile (Model) on your Futaba remote control. Try then to recalibrate without ANY modifications on that new profile.
Tell me what happens

 

[dk10438]

Try updating the firmware, even if you’re on the most current version. That’a the first thing castle does when you send it back.

Call CC... Maybe the F/W is bricked/ corrupted. And even a new flash of the F/W wont work. You said it took 20 min to update. But never did ???
The ESC won't initialize once powered ON.
