Default Setup CC 120HV endpoints, wait for beep

Hello guys,

Tried setting up the CC with beastX and have a question about the beeping.
During the endpoint calibration, I was in high stick and increased the travel to 95%, then the motor beeps one time, then I added two click more and setup low stick.

I recall having read somewhere you have to wait for two beeps.

I setup high stick again and after the one beep, I continued and got two beeps suddenly, I then added two more clicks and did the same for low stick.

What do I have to wait for? One beep or the "two beeps" and what does it mean excactly?

I think you mean the Spektrum AR7200 and not a stand alone Beastx, is that correct?

If so there is a bit of a procedure, this is the best way to go about it:

Well, yeah I mean the spektrum ar7200bx.

But I think only the low stick has the "double" beep.

I setup the system according to Waffs post that can setup the system without use of batterypacks.

In the vid, it is only one beep, dont know why after that you get two beeps..

Oreca,

In the video you hear a beep when the 100% throttle is achieved... The ICE and the EDGE have data logging so you hear a multi tone after the throttle stick is left at 100% for a few seconds as the ESC has not armed yet and this is the procedure for clearing the data log... ( I would also add in normal operation with the AR 7200 this is not a practical function as the AR 7200 has safe technology that requires the failsafe throttle position to be met before the throttle will become active... the safe technology info can be found in the AR 7200 manual. )

Once you find the High throttle calibration and you move the throttle stick down you will get a single beep as the throttle value passes thru center stick and goes to the lower side for calibration... Once you move the endpoint adjustment to the -0- throttle position the ESC will arm but you are not finished yet... you will need to rebind the AR 7200 at the -0- throttle position...

This should help get you calibrated and understand the beeps. Thanks for posting.
