ESC 32 does not arm

[Stefanirc]

Hi guys,

two of my four ESC 32 do not arm. They just keep blinking green. Two of them work properly.

What am I doing wrong... in the ECU all settings are similar. Even changing the signal outputs on my FC does not affect the ESCs... The two blinkers keep on blinking

They work properly when I arm them in ECU. But after disconnecting the USB they are unarmed again...

Please help me!

Stefan,
which interface do you use ? PWM, CAN ....
You can also send me a PM in German, if it makes simpler.

Hi sandmen,

I am using normal PWM. My FC is a Afro Flight Naze32 Rev6.

When I connect the non working ESCs directly to a receiver they do not work either... Only when they are armed via the ECU software... Arrrrgh!

Best regards

Stefan

Hi everyone. Did anyone fix this issue? I have the same problem for ESC32v3.
Thanks,

it is not a issue
you must set valid PWM values in ESC32

I have the problem mentioned in forum, the ESC32V3 arm, start rotation and after some short period(~ 1s) stops rotation and disarm. I've played with PWM, Start Voltage, start current parameters, but it doesn't help. Also I've noticed one more issue. When I connecting ESC32V3 to AQ6 and after that look on parameters it automatically changes STARTUP_MODE paramter to close-loop. but when I do the same test with other autopilot (e.g Pixhawk) it arms, rotates normally and doesn't affect on STARTUP_MODE parameter by changing it.

You must check disarm code:
http://autoquad.org/wiki/wiki/aq-esc32/ ... arm-codes/
to know what happened.

If you using ESC32 with AQ and if you using Quatos, ESCs are set to close-loop operation during startup via 1wire/can transmission.
Other FC can't do this.

Simon K do not require calibration.
Just set Min Throttle for Simon K & dont worry if they dont spin at same rate. All will be OK when flying
