So I hooked up the pro gauge and after making the changes and saving them.......I am stuck at profile 8 again and my changes to profile 3 didnt save......GRRRRRRRRRRRR. I will list my steps and hopefully you can see where I am doing it wrong, if not i will make a video tonight.
1) Turn on radio. I cant ever get it into program mode with the radio off.
2) plug in the battery and pro gauge
3) Push the red button one time
4) wait for the esc to finishing booting up
5) press the red button for 1 second (sometimes it shuts off after 1 second, so I start over)
6) When the 2x orange lights turn on, I click the connect to device in the PG
7) The first time this morning it came up with Profile #3, but never again after that.
8) clicked on change settings
9) changed the slew to 4, changed the timing to 15 and the turbo to 5. Verified the changes.
10) exited back to the main menu and clicked save changes.
11) Unpluged the PG
12) turn off the esc (sometimes holding the button down for 3 second while in program mode would not power it off, so I would just unplug the battery)
13) Push the button once and wait for the boot sequence to finish
14) The the radio and realize something is wrong as it is super slow. It is faster in reverse than forward and I disable (never set it to practice mode...)
15) plug in the PG and push the red button for 1 second.
16) connect to the device
17) PG says I am in profile #8.............
It is ALWAYS #8 when it messed up. It is like I am setting it back to some default. After the firmware was updated, it automatically went to #8. Also, then I load profile #3, all of those setting changes i made last time didnt save, even though I did this like 5 times an always saved. I even went as far as to save after each and every change. So far it seems like only the PC Link can configure the esc... Could use some help.
I have not had this problem but there is one thing I do differently. Between step 11 and 12 I push the power button. Not hold, just 1 push. The ESC goes into the run mode. Then I shut it off or unplug the battery.
