Best way to Test rx/tx ESC BAT

[franklingonzin]

Ok so first I think xheli sold me that knock off black hawk they warn you about on ka-planes. Cause that looks exactly like the golden eagle motor an all. Any way I have lost trust in them and I dont even want to send it back. What is the best way to test the rx/tx That is on it. I went threw and rebinded them seem to work but still getting them damn beeps. I hook the esc cable into anything but the 3rd ch I get 3 beeps. 3rd is where it goes but when I hook it up there I get 4 sets of beeps 3 in each. Oh and even when I get the 3 beeps when its in another ch. I still cannot power up the blades. Where can you find out what the beeps mean? Also how do you test the ESC? And how do you test the batt.? I dont have the nice charger just got the little cheapys and I dont want to wait that long for them to restock. I have an odometer if I can test with that. If you know please help and let me know what settings the odometer should be on for each thing. Thanks for any help. Franklin

Didn't you get an ESC paper that goes through the programming of it and describes the beep codes?

If not, can you put everything back to normal, then turn on the transmitter with the throttle and throttle trim all the way down, then turn on the heli and then post the exact beeps you hear?

The Black Hawk heli I bought from Xheli and the one I think you have is authentic based on the real Bell Hiller set up as opposed to the knock off Golden Eagle which is entirely different.

I don't quite understand your Tx/Rx problem. Walk me through the problem step by step.

Ok With everything hooked up in correct spots. I get (beep beep beep,beep beep beep,beep beep beep) They are very fast beeps and each set comes about a half a second after the other. With nothing but the esc and motor hooked up same thing. Now I tried esc and motor on diff. chs and get (beep,beep,beep) which means its good to go, but I have no control and cannot get the thing to do nothing. I hooked it up to a diff. receiver from the 22e which has the different cords that go to the motor, so I put in a ch hold up on the forward control I get (beep,beep,beep). Then when I move the stick down the motor starts going. I opened the Transmitter case it smells like a burnt up amp. I am pretty sure that is the problem there. Now back to the 22e trans and rec. It has the power cords that come out and go straight to the motor and tail motor on the rec.. Is there a way to switch the dip settings on the trans. to make the black hawk work off it. Or how where would I hook it up on that rec. to make the heli function normally on that trans. and rec. Cause man I need to fly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please help.

The only dif. is the head. Everything else is the exact same.

Wow, too much info.
Back off a little, please!

You never said if you received an ESC paper with your heli.
I assume no. That's not a good thing.

So, I had a similar issue happen when I converted from a DX6i to a DX7 transmitter. The ESC saw something it didn't like.
This is the 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause, repeat. These were slow beeps.
This means that you have to reset the throttle endpoints within the ESC.
Here comes the scary part.
You have to hook everything up as normal, with the motor attached and the heli off.
Then put the throttle on the transmitter at full throttle. Keep that there and then power up the heli. Stand back when you do that.
The ESC will then beep some beeps and then put the throttle at zero. It will then beep a few more times.
Then power off the heli and the transmitter.

I hate the fact that the ESC wants the transmitter at full throttle to set stuff up.

Anyway, that's what I had to do. It sounds like the ESC on yours just wasn't setup for end points.

Please disregard my last post.
The three short beeps in rapid succession means that the ESC can't sense that you have the throttle in the lowest position.
If you do, then I don't know how to help here.

The 30a esc that came with this is plug an play. I tried going in to reset some things but wont.

The one from xheli is definitley a different head, I had it. Banana Hobby is selling the Golden Eagle as the Black Hawk, you can see it in the head photos as it has no outer flybar paddle control, cheeky if you ask me. They should call it the Golden Eagle. THe xheli one had Black Hawk written on the esc and rx, but not helipro. Looking at the one on KA Planes it seems xheli's is a proper BH but I wouldn't put it past xheli to have a rebranded one, maybe thats why mine wasn't very good!!

If you changed the parameters on the esc or other: DDitch66, has got a good video on setting up the transmitter/receiver and end points, on "you know where", in the video tutorial section, or you should be able to find it on youtube, . It's the same one for the Blue Ray. You'll need the usb connector (should have come with the heli) for the computer set up.

Also, Andy can send you the manual and software for it.

I have the manual the t6 config and all that but it wont connect to the comp.

Do you mean you don't have the right connector? If that's the case go to Radio Shak and see if you can find the right one.

If you mean that you're plugging it into the computer and it won't work: The T6 needs to be plugged in prior to loading the software.

I found a burnt chip inside the Transmitter. Shipping it today let see how this goes.
