Spektrum Help

[Andrew Heitmann]

Hello. So I've recently gotten the spektrum dx6 with the ar6600t reciever. I wanted to make a scratch build with it. I tried connecting tower pro servos into it but the connector is to big. Are they not compatible? Thanks for the help.

There are several Tower Pro servo's out there... perhaps you should include which model you are referring too...


When posted for help on any forum... Do not use a generic Topic subject ( such as Help ).... make the subject relevant to the post you are making so others that may be helping... will know it's something they can help with without having to actually go into and read your post...

Pictures can also be helpful when asking questions about size or shape type questions... then others won't need to ask more info if you go ahead and post a picture in addition to the question.

If you are refering to the little plastic edges on the side of the servo plugs, just snip them off and plug them in. I have done that myself a bunch of times, and there is no issue. Just be careful not to cut into the housing.

 

[Andrew Heitmann]

Yes I tried this with the esc too but the reciever would not turn on. The esc is not broken though.

You will need to post a picture of something. I can say that my car doesn't fig in my garage, but what others don't know is it's a toy garage. Pictures are worth a thousands words.

doesent work works

The photos are blurry so hard to be sure but the plug into the ESC could be plugged in upside down.

Is the black stuff on the wires tape?

 

[Andrew Heitmann]

Yeah it's electrical tape. When I plug it in theirs a faint red light inside that goes on. That's it.

 

[Andrew Heitmann]

Lol. Sorry my wiring is so sketchy. It defiantly works though I swear.

 

[Smoggie]

Looks like you have it plugged to the bind/data port. Try moving it along one to the throttle port.

 

[Andrew Heitmann]

The same thing happens.

 

[Tony]

Verify that you are getting voltage out of the ESC to the Rx. Some of those SimonK ESC's are OPTO. Meaning no BEC.

 

[Geena]

turn the plug around. You have it plugged in backward. The ground wire (the brown one) should be facing out. On the third photo, you can see the markings on the receiver case and the plug is definitely plugged in backward.

Look at the picture with the flysky reciever the light is on. I have used these esc's before they do work.

 

[Andrew Heitmann]

I switched around the plug and pluged it in and a red light flashes for a second on this.

That's sounding more promising. You have to now bind the receiver to the transmitter. Consult the manual for how to do that.

 

[Andrew Heitmann]

It says the light on the front is supposed to flash but it doesent.

 

[Tony]

Plug a bind plug into the bind port on the Rx and bind your Tx to it.

 

[Andrew Heitmann]

It isn't binding. There's supposed to be a flashing light on the front but there isn't.
