Erfolg Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have a Tunigy AE-30 ESC, I wish to set the parameters of the ESC and believe I have the correct programming card a Turnigy BESC Programming card. The trouble is than when plugged into the programmer,and the ESC connected to the LIPO, none of the diodes lights up, however much button pushing. I also have a Blue series programming card as I have a few Blue Series ESC's. I have tried this, again no sign it has had an effect. The question is do you normally get some indication? How do I know that anything has changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken anderson. Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 erfolg......going off experience with my card....you def need it to light up so you can confirm and make your choice of settings.......in your case i would say you haven't changed anything..... ken anderson ne..1.

Plane Addict Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Do you have a manual for the programmer? If not, you can find it in the purple tab below the related items and product price on the page of the card programmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Addict Thanks to pointing me to the buttons! I must have ignored them all for a couple of years not recognising what they were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 I have thoroughly read the instructions sheet and applied the procedure to the both ESC and Card. The card is probably broken, as the diodes do not light up, etc. I have tried via the BEC mode and non BEC by use of a two conductor cable. Perhaps I need to bu a new CARD and check that the card I have is supposed to work with my AE, ESC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plane Addict Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I just received the same programmer card, haven't checked it out yet. Will do that soon to see how/if it works. Won't be until Friday though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Oh!!! If I had only known, I would have had real feedback I have ordered another on the basis it must have been broken on arrival. Although I had my doubts, as very little comes broken in the world today, however cheap. I seem to have the correct model card, from checking the blurb. Anyway I look forward to hearing from your experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plane Addict Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Tried my card last Friday and it works as supposed. Leds light up according to setting made earlier by hand. So, probably you have one that is defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Plane Addict It is useful to know that the diodes should light up on connecting the lipo to the ESC. I note you have written that the settings were made earlier, is that without any power to the card? I have another card on order, and await its delivery. My existing card does not light up at all, what ever i do, although i will try again, in case i am misinterpreting the instructions and sequence for setting.

Plane Addict Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Your ESC has a BEC, this does mean that you need to connect the ESC with the servo wire to the programmer card to the pins that are located near the word BEC. Then you power your ESC like you would do normally. Now the LED's should light up. I did settings earlier following the instructions for my ESC (Hobbyking 25-30A) using the transmitter. Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 That is what I have done. My blue programming card works with the the Blue ESC's. It is just the AE card does nothing but sits there. I will have to wait until they send my new card I ordered, it is not worth the bother of trying to get HK to replace the apparently faulty card.

Plane Addict Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The description of the esc says that it should work with the BESC programming card, so I guess your card was a dud. You can wait for the new programmer, but you can also try to program it through your transmitter. I always find that a big hassle (hence I bought the card), but it is doable. If you are not sure if you have the correct settings, do it again. You (virtually) can't destroy the ESC. In the reviews I saw someone saying that it (your ESC) has the same programming instructions as the Pentium from Hobbywing. See if this link helps... Oh well, I was going to give you a link to the Hobbywing instructions, but the site does not work at the moment. I will try again later, or try if you can find it yourself. This is where the site normally can be found: http://www.hobbywing.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 I have the instructions PA, I also find the Tx method a hasslel. I have a couple of the AE ESc's so can wait. Particularly as i have a few other models which are flyable, that is at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
