cant get cc to program?

[kdsguy1]

hey guys i installed the software for the castle link and want to setup the cc bec pro for 6v and the cc100a esc gov mode but the software reconizes the link but not the bec or esc what am i doing wrong? any help would be great

That's odd.

Normally once the link is recognized, simply plugging in the ESC should get it to work.
Is this the standard 100A ICE, and not a HV version? I think you have to power up the HV version with an external battery (but don't trust me on that since I don't have a HV version).

If it is a standard 100A ESC, make sure the receiver plug on the ESC has all pins connected. I wonder if you removed the powered pin since you have the BEC Pro.

With regards to the BEC Pro, I haven't actually programmed one of those, but I think you need an adapter cable to plug into the link. It should have come with the BEC Pro.

Wish I could be of more help. Maybe others will have some ideas too.

i do have the red terminal removed on the esc since i am running the cc bec, and yes it is the standard 100a esc not a hv , alsowhen i opened the bec there was no 2 wire jumper with it , it said there was one but nope there was'nt, i was using a servo extension cable , what wires are connected to the 2 wire jumper for the bec????? i can try removing the one i dont need also having to remove the shrink wrap to get to the esc wire i diconnected sucks!

Contact CC about the missing 2-wire. Mine was actually missing its adapter too, Heliproz South sent me the replacement. Maybe there was a number of Pros that were shipped without the adapter. (I still haven't actually programmed the Pro BEC.

I am wondering if you can simply attach a main lipo pack to the ESC. That would supply it with power, and then maybe it would link up without reattaching the missing wire on the receiver connector. However I am not positive if that is a good idea or not---in other words, call up CC and ask them about it. Do it at the same time you ask for an adapter cable!

i just got off the phone with cc and got my awnsers hopefully this will help others out there, on the cc bec pro you can use a servo extension but you either need to disconnect the middle wire and supply voltage to the bec or you can use the 3 wire BUT DISCONNECT THE TWO RECIEVER LEADS OR BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN that way the bec is getting power through the link...and on the esc you do have to reconnect the red wire to read data ect.

they are mailing me a jumper wire that i was missing no hassle at all ...thanks guys
