ericrw Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I`m trying to bind my Spectrum AR6210 receiver to my Spectrum DX6i transmitter. It appears to bind correctly, the light flashes then stays solid but there`s a continuous beeping sound and no response from the transmitter. I`ve tried keeping the transmitter at least 6 feet away but to no avail. Please advise. Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Jones 2 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Could be wrong but check your ESC manual as beeping in various ways gives indication of different problems - fast or slow beeps mean different things. One thing i have is on some a continuous beep with a solid light and no fuction means.. "no throttle signal..." I checked the connections ans it seemed to be a loose one at the rx plug.. Another time it was cause the throttle was not at the low position , including the trim being at minimum.... This might not be your issue but worth a check Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stringer Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I have seen the same with the throttle .. if you plug in and the throttle is not at minimum it beeps constantly with some ESCs. If it was reversed it would usually go into the musical stuff of ESC programming so more likely a throttle not down / trim issue by the sounds of it Do your servos twitch / move?

WolstonFlyer Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Continuous beeping of the motor generally indicates that the throttle stick was not in the low position at start-up, or that low throttle isn't low enough (try setting lowest trim on throttle), or that the throttle control is reversed.

ericrw Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I`ve been trying all the suggested comments ! I`ve now discovered that if I allow the beeping to continue it will stop on it`s own accord and everything is normal in operation ! The length of beeping can be as short as 5 seconds to 30 seconds. But as to why, I just don`t know !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 What's beeping, Eric - motor or Tx? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericrw Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hi Pete, It`s the motor. Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericrw Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 It`s difficult to say whether it`s the motor or ESC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Its because the ESC low setting is too close to your low throttle on the tx stick, so any minor drift on the throttle channel and the ESC thinks the throttle isnt fully closed. Re-train the ESC by removing the prop, then with model OFF set the tx to full throttle and centre the throttle trim. Then connect the model battery, listen for the beep, when thats finished (one or two seconds) close the tranny throttle and wait for the confirmation beep. The problem has nothing to do with binding, although once this is sorted you should rebind with the throttle off to set the failsafe. Cheers Phil PS replace prop before launching Edited By Phil Green on 12/06/2015 21:02:45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericrw Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi Phil, I`ve tried that but the beeps are continuos. I now have to wait till they stop by themselves and then there is a click and everything works ! A real mystery !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi Eric, did you sort out your binding problem? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericrw Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi Chris, it`s how I said, I have to wait from 5 to 30 secondsfor the beeping to stop and then there`s a sound like a click and every thing works. A real mystery ! Cheers, Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi Eric, when theres the next club meeting, bring it along if you can and we'll have a play. It could be the type of ESC? Is it in your new P51? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericrw Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi Chris, at least I know who you are now ! It is installed in the P51. Max and I have tried all the known procedures but to no avail ! I just have to wait for the beeping to stop !! The ESC is stated to be a 80amp with BEC. In my research, there is doubt, expressed by other users that it is only 70amp. I will consider bringing it to a Club meeting. Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Austin Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hi Guys, Finished binding and setting up the controls on a new flying wing with motor.All seemed ok, and just waiting for some calmer drier weather for the maiden. Today looked good for a flight. quick bench check OOOHHHH heck!!! Doesn't seem to be binding, just odd little hicups, and twitches. I unplugged the lipo then reconnected and then the motor did it's LIPO count. but still just occasional twitching and motor run intermittent. Lipo is 3S and 97% charge. Quick question Can freezing 0 degrees affect the Futaba T6J, or the FrSky Delta 8 RX.??? I've been flying with this combination on other gliders without any problem Go With the Flow Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Armstrong 2 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I had a similar problem which was solved by setting the throttle trim on the ESC to fully down. Most ESCs seem to be happy with trim centred but that one needed fully down. At least it shouldn't hurt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hi Bruce, Perhaps you'd like to post this problem in the Futaba section where you might get more specific help - this is a thread in the JR/Spektrum section Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangster Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Bruce I assume you are aware that you may need to reverse the throttle on a. Futaba to train the esc. I and probably most other fliers who tried to use Futaba with an esc had to learn that the hard way! This post has reminded me that I have turned into a fair weather flyer and probably never taken my Futaba j out in the cold. Now into younger days..........
