CC45 programming problem in 4s MT

[Chris Corbett]

Hi All

I am trying to program the Pheonix 45 that I have put in my 4s MT with a Neu 1107/2Y motor. I am running a 10a CC BEC also.
I copied all the recommended settings for the esc off the NEU website and then proceeded to follow Finless video for setting up Phoenix speedos.
All was going to plan until I tried to get the esc to read throttle end points. I plugged the esc in with throttle ATV at 50H and L. When I increase H throttle point it doesn't read any setting. Same with low point obviously.
The esc is at fixed end point setting (as finless instructs) prior to moving onto governor. I am wondering if I need to be on governor mode as this is what NEU says the setting should be. Surely this is irrelevant when setting end point????
I have tried reversing throttle and playing about with throttle trim without success.
All the servos are working and I get the tone followed by 4 beeps when plugging battery in at full stick so I know it is picking up radio in some capacity.
BEC is latest version so I have had to remove signal wire and I have correctly removed red wire on esc due to having external bec.
I am using DX7 radio by the way
Any guidance much appreciated!!!

I had a similar experience. Following Finless video, once you have set your max value bring back your Tx stick to the opposite and adjust the value until the ESC beeps at you. That's it you're done..
Ready then to proceed to the goverbor setup.

the one thing i would look at is channel assignment, i know this might sound odd, but i know of someone who spent hours trying to program esc, only to find he had the esc plugged into the wrong channel, ike i said, sounds odd, but you couldnt make this stuff up

Thanks Henrik. So I don't turn off esc when i've set high point? Simply move stick to low and continue with end point adjustment.
Makes sense, thank you

Yes you have to disconnect the ESC before you go to set the low end point. Also set your low end point lower on JR and Spektrum radios the low end point will be around 40%. If your set at 50% the ESC is seeing a low enough pulse to arm the ESC. I normally set the low end point to about 25% before calibrating the ESC.

Paul Hinz is right.

Safety first: Disengage your motor pinion from the main gear.

To setup High / Low endpoint:

Starting with high value

1) Set your high and low points to say 50% (ESC won't see any high or low )
2) Start your receiver and ESC
3) with your stick to max value, adjust the high value up to where the ESC beeps at you. Add two more 'clicks' or 2%

Switch off your receiver / ESC.

Now doing the low value:
4) Place your stick to the minimum
5) Start your receiver / ESC
6) Increase the low ATV value up to where the ESC recognize your value for minimum. (It will beep at you)
7) Increase two more 'clicks' or 2%.

Switch off your receiver / ESC.

On your next start up your Phoenix ESC will know (and remember) min / max value.

This is just as per Bob Finless description and it works.

Happy flying.
