Hi Everyone,

I followed Finless Bob's ESC setup for the Align BL35X (isn't Bob's video collection a LIFESAVER!! :noteworthy ) and I've set it all up correctly the way I want it. After programming it I disconnect the battery, and when I reconnect it the ESC starts running through what I've programmed into it.

That's fine.. when it's finished it's series of beeps.. I can then throttle up all all is good.

Problem is that next time I reconnect the battery, it feels that need to run through those beeps again! I can stop it from beeping just by idling up the motor but is this right?

I've tried programming it again and while it remembers what settings I want, it still insists on giving me the series of beeps telling me what I've programmed in each time.

Like I say I can stop it once it starts doing it just by giving it some stick input of some kind but I'm worried it's a sign of a problem or something I've done wrong.

Is there any sort of 'master reset' for this ESC? Anyone else had this issue? Is this normal?

Any advice for a learner like me is much appreciated :thinking

auscraig,
That's normal......
Some folks do not wait for the programming beeps to complete.
However I allow the beeps to complete their cycle. That way I'm assured the esc has not somehow lost the preprogrammed settings.
