ESC LED Indicator & Beeping Patterns
LED Indicator / Beep | Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Motor does not turn after unlocking | Throttle idle value below 1100µs | Set idle throttle to 1160-1180µs |
Motor turns upon power-on | Throttle locked above 1100µs | Lock throttle to ≤1100µs |
Beeps every 1.5 sec, yellow flashing | Throttle PWM signal missing | Check signal connection |
Beeps every 0.5 sec, yellow flashing | High throttle detected | Ensure throttle is low before power-up |
No sound, yellow LED flashes 4 times per 1.5 sec | Motor loop disconnected | Inspect motor wiring |
No sound, LED flashes long-short-long-short | Power supply voltage abnormal | Check battery voltage & connections |
Motor does not start | Short circuit / overcurrent detected | Inspect motor connections & copper terminals |
LED flashes red/green alternately | PWM throttle signal missing | Check throttle connection |
LED flashes yellow every 0.2 sec | Hardware issue detected | Inspect screws & cooling system |
