Hi
Really need some help.
Bought an RX8 system with motor for Xmas, finally got it installed etc and came to set it up today;
turned it on then pressed the mode button to calibrate it.
calibrated fine and i could make the motor shaft spin with the TX.
turned it off and downloaded the hotwire software from tekin, assume the latest as it seems to be the only one 212.
connected up the hotwire etc and started the software, it told me it needed to update it.
it went through the updating steps of the esc, then said something about recalibrating, not sure what else it said because it disappeared before i got chance, finally came with a message saying finished.
disconnected the hotwire etc then turned on to calibrate, the fan spins but nothing else. pressing mode does nothing.
went back to the hotwire, sort of seems normal but nothing is displayed on the timing page.
told it to update esc then tried to calibrate again, this time i had the fan and a light but nothing else, mode still does nothing.
essentially it seemed fine until i connected it to the hotwire, now it doesn't do anything.
Now things are even worse; the manual said if you had a failed update to the esc, to just do it again, mine didn't fail but i did it again, this time it did fail and now the hotwire doesn't even recognize when the esc is connected to it.
absolutely gutted, including the hotwire it's cost me £330. not including the small fortune i've spent getting silicone wire, connectors (motor & esc) etc and getting it all professionally soldered.
any thoughts?
thanks
