Another user on that thread I referred to said he got his working by doing his throttle cal at -97 to +97, then putting the throttle back to -100/+100 when the FC is attached.

Yes I'll be keeping a close eye and running it through tests for sure. Still have those six ESC's sitting here waiting in case they are needed.

I can't believe this. It appears I may have solved this problem, just before I cut off my old Hobby Wing 40A pro ESCs and spent an entire weekend soldering on new ones. The fast beeping of these ESC's indicated that on startup the throttle position was not low enough. The Taranis as far as...

I've calibrated the radio about 10 times, calibrated the esc's 10 times, done stick calibration 10 times, reverse calibration 10 times. Best I can get is 3 of the 6 motors arm. The other three beep indicating throttle is not at lowest position. I've tried reversing the channels, changing the...

I've had problems getting the companion to talk to the TX. I'll try it again. I also just had a nightmare go through my head while sitting here at work. If I have the safemode switch turned to ON, will that cause me to not be able to arm or calibrate the FC? Maybe its something as dumb as that.

I attempted to do the reverse calibration 4-5 times yesterday. I could get the FC in calibration mode, but it would never register when I moved the sticks to the upper right. Also I seem to have changed something and my throttle on my Taranis does not tell me "trim center" when I'm centered...

Yup I've seen it. I haven't done that. I'll give that a shot.

Still not sure what reverse calibration is, and if I need to do it!

Hobby Wing has responded to my inquiry as to whether or not my ESCs are compatible with the SuperX. They assure me that they are. Their first suggestion: "How about you check the throttle settings on the flight controller, whether it is in the low position, or whether it need to be reversed?"...

I've calibrated the Taranis a few times just in case, and center calibrated the sticks with the FC. What is REVERSE calibration? I heard back from Hobby Wing by the way. They told me my ESCs ARE compatible with the superX.

I just ordered the set of ESC's from Altitude Hobbies. They're in Denver and I'm in Salt Lake. SO hopefully the shipping will be quick. They could not guarantee these would not have the same issue but they're fairly sure they will not. They are not made by Hobby-Wing. If they do not work...

Looks like I may be scrapping the Hobby-Wing esc's then and saving them for a later build, if I make another bird without a SuperX... There goes $240. I'm trying to find USA replacements. How do these look? Do I need to worry about the pancake filter you mentioned? I'm running Tarot...

I sent a note to hobby-wing and to XAircraft asking if the combo of SuperX and Hobby-Wing ESC's was not compatible. We will see if I get a response. In the mean time, I'm shopping for new ESC's. My motors are the Tarot 5008/340kv, max amps 25. Which ESC did you go with then? My current ones...

IF the red wires are removed would that cause issues? I calibrate my throttle ranges and then when I connect the superX I get the dreaded constant beeping indicating throttle is not low enough.

Hey Motopreserve did you try with the red leads on and with them removed? Currently I have all removed as the power for any of the onboard electronics is coming directly, not through BEC on an ESC. I read in another old thread here...

I can try that to make sure. I've done so many tests and configurations now I can't remember what I have and have not done. I'll continue posting my findings in this thread: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?18280-SuperX-Taranis-X8R&p=170210&viewfull=1#post170210

Based on the fact that the FC seems to be the monkey wrench, I started going through the SuperX manual again. Looks like I probably need to do an RC Neutral Point calibration perhaps? I'll try that this evening and post what happens.

In googling my issue I found this thread. I have basically the same issue: Throttle cal seems fine. Hook up superX and ESC's beep in the pattern indicating throttle is not all the way down, even though it is. Did you ever find a solution?

Okay I'm getting very pissed and hoping I can get some help here. I'm having a real problem getting from the ESC calibration stage to being able to have all motors arm. Here's what's going on. I've calibrated the taranis, and several times just in case. I throttle calibrated the ESCs one at...

No update. I'm traveling for a week and my 960 is not with me... :upset: It is driving me nuts. Hope to get the rest hammered out this weekend.
