This is sort of basic but I'm puzzled why I can't complete the arming sequence between my Trailmaster Pro and FlySky tranmsitter.
I finally set the parameters in the Trailmaster via Castle Link to ensure it's set to brushed motor. Then I went through the arming sequence, which is where I think something is not right:
-- Battery power disconnected
-- Transmitter off
1. Turn on transmitter and while holding it full forward throttle, power on the ESC
2. Wait for lights and beeps to indicate forward throttle set, and now ready for reverse throttle
3. Transmitter set to full reverse
4. Wait for lights and beeps to indicate reverse throttle set, and now ready for neutral throttle
5. Transmitter set to neutral
6. Wait for lights and beeps to indicate neutral set
7. Wait for lights and beeps to indicate ESC is armed.
Performing the above steps all goes well. Without disconnecting or changing anything, I have full power forward and reverse. (Note that the pinion has been removed for all this.)
So, it's done. But, after I disconnect the power and turn off the receiver, and then reconnect the power and turn on the receiver, I'm back in set up mode.
I think I need some advice for the right sequence for turning off transmitter and powering off the ESC, and then turning everything on again so I'm ready to drive.
What's the correct order for powering off and on the transmitter and ESC?
Thanks for any guidance.
