Hi,


I just bought a 600 conversion kit with the HV-85 for my Raptor heli and It flew great.... until the heli shut off and I auto'd to the ground.. I just
guessed that it was a low voltage cut off, but when I try to turn it on
again it just beeps 4 times and flashes once then nothing. I move the
throttle stick up and down and nothing happens. I was running a Z power
Z50-600 with a 10s lipo. now I cant get it to set up or anything... it only
beeps the 4 times and flashes once when I plug the lipos in. I tried new
lipos too, still nothing. Do you know why its doing this?

This is from the Castle web site.

Error Codes
We have added persistent error codes that the LED will flash until the ESC is disconnected from the power source. The codes should help explain the conditions that are experienced by the controller in use.

1 flash: Startup Failed
2 flashes: Low voltage cutoff in soft cutoff mode complete (voltage could not rebound above cutoff voltage)
3 flashes: Over current (soft cutoff mode)
4 flashes: Low voltage cutoff (hard cutoff mode)
5 flashes: Over current (hard cutoff mode)
6 flashes: Prop strike detected
7 flashes: Excessive radio noise

I think you have a bad esc.
