Neither, you leave then where they end up during the CC throttle calibration in Step 6.

You can also use the External Governor mode with then CC if you have the Hobby wing phase sensor and upgrade to the 4.02v of the CC firmware.

Since the castle software now supports external governer, does this procedure need updating?

I just tried the procedure but had the sk software set to Gov mode. I could not get the esc to see the high end point in this config. I then turned off sk Gov mode and got the calibraton.
If I set the Castle software then to Heli mode the esc will arm. If I set the Castle sw to External Gov, however, the esc will no longer arm.

Rcmike is helping me resolve this in another thread, but I think the procedure will need an update for using External gov mode.

Yes thank you done it last night and got, 127 high and 112 low which seams good.
Thanks

I don't think so, the only change is External Governor selection on the CC, otherwise it is the same. It worked for me and it looks like taszo.

I apologise for a duplicate post but here is how I got mine working:

Just to summarize:
Ice 50 in External Gov Mode (Firmware 4.02)
SK720 with Electric Gov (Firmware 3.12)

Set up as per the following procedure (http://www.rchelination.com/sk540-governor-with-cc-esc/)

Plug in SK to comp
SK in gov OFF mode
CC in Ext Gov mode
Endpoints in radio on throttle channel MAXED out
Throttle at max and set High Throttle
Throttle at low and set Idle Throttle
Unplug SK

Throttle endpoints at 70 or so
Set High and Low endpoints as per normal CC procedure

Plug in SK
Throttle at Max and set High Throttle again
Throttle at low and set Idle Throttle again
NOW click into the Electric Gov menu in the SK
Low Ramp and High Ramp at 80
Reset throttle curves as per SK recommendation for Electric Gov mode


There is a note that the sk bailout will not work using the CC Ext Gov mode.
A workaround is to put the CC into Multirotor mode, however this produces a kick on startup.

Thanks to another Nick over on Rchelination for the info....
