Yge 160hv set up instructions
Hello
Are there any clearer step by step set up instructions for the 160hv? I'm using it as 16s with the gov through the ikon fbl and a JR 9503 radio. I have the instructions that came with the esc and the program card 3 but I still had an issue and had to send the esc back to Germany. I've set up 3 or 4 castle esc s in the past with no problems. These instructions just don't seem complete to me.

Hi
Have you got the adapter cable to go from the YGE esc rpm sensor cable to the IKON gov port? I had to solder mine up myself. I used Mr. Mel's video on youtube about setting up a YGE 160 with a VBar. Procedure for IKON is almost the same. I'm using a YGE 160HV with the IKON gov on my trex 700 with futaba t8fg super

My rpm sensor is actually the hobby wing that goes from the ikon gov port to any 2 motor wires.
I kinda over looked the mrmel video because it felt with the vbar instead of the ikon. I'll go back and give it a look and see how it relates to what I'm doing.

OK, I used the hobbywing sensor as well at first when I still had my CC 120 esc.
I found it related quite a bit to what you have to do with the YGE and the IKON. Just a reminder, I set my throttle endpoints in the transmitter so they would read 100 - 100 in the ikon software and then went to the advanced tab at governor to set the endpoints in the ESC as such.

Do you remember the title of the mr Mel YouTube video? I can't seem to find anything from him on the 160hv

Ok, I started looking for the video and I was mistaken, it was just a video of him explaining the initial setup of the YGE esc for vbar gov.
I'll post the link
What I did was, set the ESC in GOV OFF mode (I do have the freewheeling on) and my startup speed is heli middle for the moment. I might adjust this together with the auto bailout in the ikon to get a faster startup, but for now it's ok.

Great. Thanks. Those were some of the same steps I took in the initial set up. None of which should have caused my esc to pop and shoot flames out of the front.
That's why it's on its way back to Germany and I'm trying to be very cautious about the set up the second time around

Better be safe then sorry!
If you have any questions when the ESC gets back, just let me know. I think I have things sorted out right. YGE worked like a charm and kept my competition machine in great shape for the Belgian intermediate champs. Only got the over temperature warning once after a hard flight.

Thanks. I may take you up on that. Yge is closing from the 18the to the 29th so I think I may be out of luck for a few weeks.
So I have a brand new logo 800 that was supposed to maiden this weekend just sitting there. Well I guess it will be worth the wait.

A friend of mine just got one about 2 months ago. Full kontronik setup pyro 850 and kosmik 200cool. It's a beast! Flies super smooth.
I'll be on vacation from the 3rd till the 14th of september, but i'll try to look at the forums ;-)

So the first step is power up ikon, set throttle stick to full position and plug in main packs and wait for tones. Then drop throttle to zero and wait for tones then esc will initialize. Correct?
After that the program card can be connected and settings selected, right? At what point do you adjust high and low throttle points in the ikon software?

No no :-)
First you set the ESC to gov off with the progcard. Then you power up the ikon and make sure that the throttle channel reads 0 to 100 in the ikon software. If not, adjust it with tx endpoints. when you've done that, you can power up the ESC with full throttle to set the endpoints as you stated. Don't have to use the sliders. sorry ;-) it's been a while since i did mine.
