General Hobbywing ESC...HELP

[helikid0108]

Just updated a Mikado Logo 20 with new Lipo battery, motor and a Hobbywing ESC. Programmed the ESC with a program box as per instructions. Cannot get the heli to run. Get a beep code that according to instructions means "input voltage is abnormal" and "beyond normal range". Battery is a 6 cell (22.2V). I have tried running with battery fully charged (+24V) and with battery at 22.0V and still get the same beep code. Can anyone help please?

Did you calibrate the throttle? Is your throttle setup on the right channel

That's the exact same thing I was gonna say, calibrate the throttle first. That's a very common problem that a lot of people forget.

As the others have said; this is almost always due to not having the throttle calibrated so that the ESC is not seeing a fully closed throttle so does not arm.

Thanks for the comments. I did calibrate the throttle and did not help. I did get it to run though. I reset ESC back to default settings and then reprogrammed and for some reason it worked. Still trying to figure that one out.
