Hi ,
I hope you are all keeping well in these extraordinary and trying times . I decided to buy the LC3536-7T 1100KV Leopard Motor with 538 max power , I decided to try this motor as I really have no wiggle room to fit any motors with a bigger diameter of 35mm ~ I will also use the 120 amp Turnighy ESC.
I am now looking at setting up my ESC and have a programming card , but I have very little information on how to use the programming card .
1. When I raced cars a friend would programme the ESCs and one thing I remember is to make sure the servo lead is the correct polarity as if it was not it would damage the programming card ~ could anyone give me some help on the right way to connect the servo lead . On the Programming Card I have 3 symbols v ( that is what it looks like ) + and - The servo lead is not a Futaba one as the colours are Yellow Red and Brown . I think the Yellow goes to v and the Brown goes to - , but really do not want to blow the card up .
2. As I said there are no instructions with the Programming Card and the ESC instructions do not seem to relate to using the radio handset rather than the card . There are 5 separate modes .
· Running Mode ~ Options > forward ( in blue ) or forward / reverse ~ this is elf explanatory
· Motor Direction ~ Options > 1 CW ( in blue ) or CCW ~ I have no idea what this is and which option to use
· Low Voltage Protection ~ Option > 2.6v , 28v , 3.0v , 3.2v ( in blue ) or 3.4 v . There seems no to input that a Lipo is being used , so I am assuming that this LVP is designed to protect the Lipo from being completely discharged ~ I have no idea what this is and which option to use
· Start Mode ( Punch ) ~ Options > Level 1 , Level 2 , Level 3 ( in blue ) , Level 4 and Level 5 ~ I have no idea what this is and which option to use
· Timing Set ~ Options > 0 , 3.75 , 11.25 , 15 ( in blue ) , 18.75 , 22.5 or 26.25 ~ I have no idea what this is and which option to use
It seems to me that the properties in blue lettering might be the ones to use ( with the exception of direction as clearly I need forward and reverse . As usual I would really appreciate some advice and steer on how to connect the card to the ESC and what settings to use in all 5 modes ~ many thanks Ray and keep safe
