I believe the program box is up to V1.17 .. but will have to check and don't have my LCD box on hand (lent to a friend).

I would try to reinstall the ESC firmware if possible.

When you are trying to get the ESC into calibration mode .. is everything hooked up? sensor wire, motor wires, etc - just curious.

hobie814

Yes everything is hooked up.
I already reinstall the ESC firmware 2 times successfully but still the same issue

I've never seen a V3 HW ESC not want to enter calibration mode. Only HW exception was very early releases of the 1S Xerun with V1 blinky software.

Can you perhaps post a video of what your doing? (showing the connections, what lights are flashing or not)

What profile did you set the ESC to? What color light is on when you turn it on (without trying to calibrate)? flashing pattern?

hobie814

I use the profile 1. I will check tonigh to answer your other questions and will also try to make a short video. Thanks again for your help ;-)

Just updated the software of the box with a _V3 version and now the box works again when connected to the ESC. Still I can't calibrate the ESC... When I start the ESC with my radio on, the green light is blinking and if I accelerate a little bit it becomes red and comes back to green immediately after and the motor is working well. But still when I try to push the power button a little bit of time, nothing happen, still the green light blinking. And if I stop pushing, the ESC switches off.

yes it will power off if you press the button more than a few times past calibration.

Please send me an email to [email protected]

Good news, this morning I could calibrate my ESC
I just plug in the battery cables with maintaining the power button pushed and I could do it. Don't ask me why. Thanks to all of you for your support.

Hi Angelo,

I've just done the software update for my V3.1 esc with the "V3.2_140627_Beta" software and I'm rather surprised to see that the options to set the boost timing were removed (4B and following), the only thing I can tune now is the amount of boost I wanna have, compared to the previous version where we could select the Boost start and end rpm, the boost slope,...

Is that normal and why a such decision?

Anyway, I can't wait to try these new software on track!

Best regards,
G-rem

Was just about to ask the same thing! Will give the new software a try on the dyno tonight and see how it looks. Maybe HW have found a better way of doing things :-)

Or maybe they've just been removed as most people set them way too low which just generates lots of heat and no extra power.
