Hi gents,
Need to get some advice.
I recently took delivery of my ZTW 10A UBEC that has switchable voltages between 5v, 5.5v and 6v. I am running an FR Sky XR8 receiver.
I subsequently plugged the ZTW into channel 8 on my receiver and plugged in my small 2s pack. Voltage was set to 5.5v on the ZTW UBEC. It all seemed to be operating fine, I did a check by unplugging the two main 6s packs and I still had power to the control surfaces so all good.
However, I noticed the ZTW was getting quite hot. So I switched it off and unplugged it. I then attempted to power up the mig using the supplied ubec (the normal way) and it would now no longer arm. There was no red light on the supplied UBEC either. So I plugged back in the ZTW, now set to 5V and everything armed, and the supplied UBEC's red light came back on.
So now I'm thinking I've shorted something either on the supplied UBEC or the receiver so I plug the supplied UBEC into another receiver and it powers up no problem with the red light on.
It's the weirdest thing.
Can anyone explain what may be happening as I'm at a loss. I don't think the supplied UBEC is damaged as it still works, but not through the FR Sky receiver.
