DI forum cgroups.com ada diskusi yg cukup menarik bahwa generasi baru ESC TowerPro ini terdapat semacam bugs sehingga LVC yg di set sesuai panduan diatas tidak berfungsi dengan baik dan berpotensi merusak Lipo.

Diduga ada beberapa versi firmware dari ESC TP G2 ini. Pada beberapa firmware panduan programming tidak berfungsi dengan baik.

Kalau betul begitu sebaiknya gimana bos.

Saya coba program pada model MAG8 18 A dan bisa berfungsi .
Kalo nggak salah , yang model TP G2 ; pada submenu ke 4 yg diatur adalah frekwensi PWM .

ESC ini ada dua versi, kebetulan saya pakai yang versi lain - yang kedua. Tuk yang versi lain, (apabila metoda program diatas tidak berhasil dilakukan), dapat mencoba ini:,....

maaf, langsung dicopy - paste aja yaaa,

Towerpro_Mag_8_Brushless_Motor_Speed_Program:

The only programming options for these ESC are:
1) LIPO automatic protection (2S or 3S, e.g. 6V or 9V)
- or -
NiMH/NiCD auto protection (0.8v per cell)

2) Brake toggle ON/OFF (ON by default)

The following is taken from the manual for the TowerPro W30A (I have edited it for clarity):
Brushless Motor speed controller Manual
W12A/ W25A/W30A

Operation Limit:
12A: max current 15A, continuous current 12A for 10 minutes
25A: max current 30A, continuous current 25A for 10 minutes
30A: max current 35A, continuous current 30A for 10 minutes

Voltage Range: 6V-12V
Number of Batteries: 4-12NiMH, 2-3LiPo
BEC Output: 5V1.5A.2LiPo\4-5mini servo, 3Lipo\3-4mini servo
Protective Functions:
• Automatically select 2-3LiPo,protective voltages are 6V/9V respectively;
• Automatically select NiMH, the protective voltage for each battery is 0.8V.
• Safe start –will not start if the throttle stick is not in the right position;
• Temperature protection, shutdown if the surface temperature reaches 110?
• Loss of control protection: Shutdown after 1 second if signal lost.
Performance:
• Motor limit:

o 2-pole max RPM: 300000 (300K)
o 12-pole max RPM 50000 (50K)
o 14-pole max RPM 42000 (42K)

• For 8KHz pWM control ,
• Position of the full, throttle will be adjust automatically
• BEC and MCU use separate power supply for table operation.

Legend:
“BEEEEP” = long and loud beep
“beeeep” = long and softer beep
“B” = a short beep

Following this normal start procedure:
1) Turn on TX
2) Set to no (lowest) throttle
3) Plug-in power to receiver/ESCs

You will hear this:
BEEEEP (if Auto LiPo protection is on) - OR - BBB (if auto NiMH/NiCD protection is on)
(5 second pause)
B
(1 second pause)
B
(1 second pause)
B
(1 second pause)
B
(1 second pause)
B

Motor is armed. Actually Motor is armed after the initial long beep, but its safest to wait unti the beep sequence is complete.

For the programming procedure:
NOTE: for FUTABA series transmitters, the throttle channel should be set to REV (reversed).
1) Turn on TX
2) Set to Full (highest) throttle
3) Plug-in power to receiver/ESCs

You will hear this:
B
(1 second pause) (LIPO automatic protection menu item)
B
(1 second pause)
BB
(1 second pause) (NiMH/NiCD automatic protection menu item)
BB
(1 second pause)
BBB
(1 second pause) (Brake selection menu item)
BBB

And then the sequence repeats over and over.

4) To select a menu/submenu option switch the throttle stick, to the lowest position at the first time interval. (For example, to select LIPO automatic protection: switch the throttle stick to the lowest position when hearing the first B sound) (the zone between the first B and the second B above, about a 2 second window)

5) You should hear “beeeep” to indicate that the setting was saved.

6) If there are other settings you want to program then quickly (within 2 seconds of the save sound, beeeep) switch the throttle to the highest position to return to the main menu beep sequence.

7) If you have finished with all your changes, then wait 2 seconds and the motor will send a confirmation sound “beeeep” (long, softer beep), saving the setting. After this, the ESC will confirm that the throttle is in the lowest setting (move it there if it is not) and then do the normal startup sequence, after which, the motor is armed and you are ready to go.

NOTES:
- LIPO automatic protection has only 2 voltage protection points, 6V when it auto detects a 2S and 9V when it auto detects a 3S (basically 3V per cell). There is no need to use a full capacity battery.

- NiMH automatic protection is set at 0.8V per cell, calculated according to the real number of batteries. In order to ensure accurate judgment of the battery voltage, please charge the battery to full capacity. If the battery is not at full capacity. The speed controller will estimate the protection voltage according to 53% of the full capacity.

- The brake is initially ON by default. The brake setting toggles. If already the brake is already on, the selection of this menu item with turn it off (between the BBB and BBB in the program sequence). If the brake is already off, the selection of this menu item with turn it on.

- Factory parameter reset function: because this series of electronic governor has an overheating and false operation protective function, if you find that the speed controller is accelerating or changing its direction, or the throttle is different from the original condition, you can reset the factory parameters to obtain the highest performance. (not sure what this means or how to do it)

IMPORTANT:
When starting in normal use mode, if the first thing you hear is a long BEEEEP this indicates that the ESC is in LIPO automatic protection mode, but if you hear BBB (three short beeps together) this indicates that the ESC is in NiMH/NiCD automatic protection mode.

esc sy tower pro mag8 25 A, bunyinya sama
BEEEEP
(5 second pause)
B
(1 second pause)
B
(1 second pause)
B
(1 second pause)
B
(1 second pause)
B
yg jd pertanyaan apa itu dah siap dipake (sel nya auto?)
kalo blm siap dipake apa akan ada masalah bila langsung dipake?
tengkyu..

@bang Shaify,...

yang penting itu bang, beeep panjang, berarti udah Lipo automatic protection. Langsung go aja,..............

yup.. untuk esc tower pro 25A sepertinya sudah auto setting.. saya dah coba pasang dengan batere lippo 3 sel, dan langsung terdengar suara Beep 3 x menandakan batere 3 sel. kemudian selang beberapa detik terdengar suara Beep panjang selama 5 kali seperti yang bang Shaify alami. Itu normal bang. Perlu diperhatikan throtel jangan dinaikan dulu sebelum semua bunyi-bunyian itu selesai semuanya.

Post by **shaify** » 16 Sep 2007, 23:27

iya nih, ternyata dah bisa langsung dipake...

bapak-2 sy ada esc tp mag 8. yang tadinya sy pake dg lipo 3s gak ada masalah...
berhubung batt dak rusak , sy ganti dg yg 2s .
esc ada bunyi tone normal seperti pada saat batt 3s.yang jadi problem ternyata throtle gak bekerja.
apakah harus di program ulang ?? dan caranya ?? bantuin donk bapak-2 yang budiman.makasihh......
