HORNET series ESC offer users the option of changing programmable

settings. You do not need to program anything to make the ESC work.

Programming is only necessary if you want to change the default setting or

if you want to use advanced features. There are three methods to change

the settings on your HORNET ESC.

PROGRAMMING HORNET ESC

in your pack. If it doesn't, make sure your pack is fully charged.

The HORNET ESC will not arm unless you move your throttle stick to the

lowest position. When the HORNET ESC receives the low throttle command,

it will arm and play a double tone through the motor, indicating it is armed

and now ready to run. If this is the first time you are running the controller,

advance the throttle slowly to ensure that the rotor or propeller rotation is

correct. If it isn't, swap any two of the motor side connections and it will then

spin properly.

1. Manual Programming

Manual Programming HORNET ESC is as simple as answering a few

questions. The HORNET ESC asks questing by beeping a setting

number, followed by the possible setting values. There are eight settings

that can be programmed in the HORNET ESC using your transmitter’s

stick. You must answer "yes" or "no" to the setting values as they are

presented by HORNET ESC. When you enter programming mode the

ESC will emit a sequence of beeps that tell you which programming step

you are in. There are two parts to the beep sequence. The first set of

beeps indicates the 'Setting Number (Question), e.g. Cutoff Voltage, and

the second set of beeps indicates a Setting Value, e.g. Auto LiPo. A

nswering "No" to a Setting value will cause the ESC to ask for the next

value in that section. After a "Yes" answer is accepted, the ESC knows

you aren't interested in any other option in that section, so it skips to the

first option in the next section.

Note: If you answer "no" to all Setting Values for a particular Setting

Number, the ESC will keep whatever value had been previously

programmed. Only by answering "Yes" to a Setting Value will the ESC

store/change that value.

How to Enter Programming Mode
