John; (or should I say both Johns)
I am and only using the FM2-EST Hubin timer for the RotorStar ESC's. I FINALLY got them to fire up
and run. And yes, the brake function does work using that ESC and the YEP programming card.
what I had to do was : after programming the ESC with the Programming card, I hooked up the ESC to the
FM2-EST timer, hooked up the motor, then hooked up the 4Sbattery. The ESC did it's arming tones, I hit the
start button, the motor did it's start up little blip thing and THEN after that was done, I turned the RPM pot on the timer from the
minimum setting (the ESC sees this as being off for a transmitter) all the way to MAX RPM for a few seconds (the ESC sees this as being
full throttle on a Transmitter) then I pushed the timers arming button again to stop the motor. (the brake function worked perfectly)
After this was done, I set the RPM pot to about 3/4 turn towards max., reconnected the battery (after setting the flight time to bare minimum), pushed the
arming button again and off she went. did the little arming blip thing, waited for X amount of Delay time, the motor spun up nice and slow and after the alotted flight time set in, the
the motor slowed a brief second, came back for for a few seconds and then shut off with brake.
That is how I got the new HK RotorStar ESC's to program for the Hubin Timer model I got.
NOW, the FM9 Timer, I do not have any experience with what so ever.
So, until I get my hands on one to test out on the RotorStar ESC's I am going to
have to suffer with my older model FM2- EST Timer is all.
Also, the RotorStar ESC's work a treat with the KR Timers as well.
