THROTTLE LEADS Y CABLE LOCATION?
I am trying to calibrate each motor esc separately per vipers previous instructions. My birds all assembled and I am trying to locate exactly where the "Y" cable is located that both motor throttle wires join into. The single wire side of the cable gets plugged directly into the RX. I want to locate the Y so I can remove each motor wire separately one at time from the Y so I can to calibrate the ESC for each motor by itself.
Thanks in advance for any information.
P.s. OK, I did some exploring and figured it out. Below is a way to separate each engine's throttle wire to calibrate each ESC separately using battery procedure explained previously by XViper.
Note: As received from the factory, the "throttle" wire is Y'ed at the connector side which is what was plugged into your RX. There is no regular Y-cable each engine's throttle led gets plugged into.
1. Disconnect one boom from the center wing so you can see the wire connections from the boom to corresponding wires running into the center wing portion.
2. Disconnect the throttle wire.
3. Attach a long extension wire (12-16" long) to the throttle wire coming from the wing.
4. Attach the other end of the long wire back to the throttle wire in the boom.
5. Remove the throttle wire connected to the RX and gently pull on each separate wire-one at time until you figure out and see the long wire at the boom being pulled into the center wing.
6. Continue pulling on the factory-supplied throttle cable until the long wire you attached gets into the fuse.
7. Install a short "regular" Y-cable in the RX throttle slot.
8. Insert the long wire you pulled into one side of the Y lead.
9. Bundle up the throttle lead you used to fish the long wire into the fuse. This side of the factory Y lead will not be needed.
10. Connect the factory Y lead into the other port of the regular Y lead.
11. Reassemble boom to center wing.
12. Now you can disconnect the throttle lead from each motor individually and calibrate each motor's ESC separately per Viper's procedure.
Hope this helps
