First start up issues, Maytech remote, Flier 400a esc

I am hoping you guys can help me out. I am just buttoning up my board for my first water test. Shame on me for not bench testing my electronics but I cannot figure out what is going on and there is little information out there to trouble shoot. My setup is a 12s (2 batteries in parrellel and 2 in series), Flier 400 amp boat ESC, Maytech V2 waterproof remote, and a Flier 65150 motor (also have a BEC with 5V and 12V for the water pump, and an anti spark switch). When I power everything up I get 10 beeps, and it will repeat the 10 beeps but do nothing. I have a BEC with 5 volts going to the receiver, have the esc ground and the BEC ground tied together and the yellow wire from the ESC going to the PWM_T on the receiver.

I am sure I have something simple wrong but do not know where to start. If anyone has the manual for the remote that would help greatly!

I am stoked to get out and try this thing out, have been working on it the past few months. My skill set is on the mechanical side. I have very little experience with the electronics side of things and hoping I just overlooked something simple.

I greatly appreciate any help.

Hello,
Your ESC is programmed in 12s, right? Cause you’re talking about 10 beeps when you turn it on…

3

I believe so. In the menu I have it under 12s. Then after I set all my values in the esc i hold the two middle buttons together to upload it. Should I try the auto function?

If the light on your receiver is flashing. Then the problem would more than likely be with your receiver connection to the UBEC and esc

Set the cell count to ‘auto’. Mine wouldn’t start when I had it set to the amount of cells.

The receiver light is solid red

I will change the cell count to auto.

Thank you everyone for the help.

Set to auto and still nothing. I have been using the hand held to update it.

What settings did you use for everything? I have left the motor timings at 0. Is there anything else I could be missing?

8

Finally got the right drivers to update the esc, when I have it plugged into my laptop it doesnt beep, as soon as I flash the new calibration it starts beeping again.

9

I do not need to supply 5 volts to the ESC right. What is the red wire coming out of the ESC used for?

10

Can you take a picture of this wire? Also, what ESC box are you using?

11

I am using the flier boat 400A 3-16s. The red wire coming out of it. I know the orange is signal, brown is ground.

The red wire from the ESC also needs to be connected to the 5 volt ubec

Did anybody ever published a wiring diagram for this Maytech V2 receiver ?

The board is officially ready for its first test!

Thanks again guys!

Congrats on the build, looks good. As I can see you use the same batteries I use. Have you tried what happens when you put 16 and 20Ah cells in parallel?

I will update that right now. Thank you
