NEW Jeti Spin 200 amp HV ESC

[eXraycer]

Thanks for the help, I just did a full reset the model on the tx so all the trims were zero and end points back to 100% than I set Aux to reverse and plugged ESC to throttle channel. Sorry to say but it didn't work.
Must sleep on it I think. getting really late here in Australia so must put it aside for this evening as much as I hate to give up. perhaps tomorrow I'll get an epiphany.

thanks again for all the help.

Apparently you have to reverse the aux, but still run the ESC on the normal channel... if this makes sense... but I've seen it working :p and all trims to zero.

Thanks CornellP and Pete,
Yes those instructions I must have read now 30 times LOL.. Damn the writing is small! crappy packaging and instructions for such an expensive product. that's what happens when an engineer designs packaging in his lunch break.
I ordered a couple of Pistix from the OSE just yesterday when I discovered this problem. I hope their inventory was correct cause I look at the product today and it is out of stock. Even if the product doesn't work for this problem I'd like to keep a couple in my spares for the future. Didn't even know they existed till yesterday.

If I get my hands on a flight radio and try to arm it with one of those that will settl the issue of whether the Pistix is going to work. My friend has a dx7i that he might loan to me for a night.

Well if that doesn't seem to work read the instructions very carefully (with a magnifying Glass)for the section the Cornel P has told you about and see, but you may need a pistix. The only person I know of with any is Ray Fuller of Fuller's Fast electrics last year I purchased two from him he may still have some laying around. if all else fails you can try one of those.

not having much luck reversing the throttle channel. Not sure how reversing Aux channel helps because it's just a slave of the throttle channel but I tried it anyway. I ran the esc through aux channel and reversed it cause I reckon at this stage the answer is either not going to make sense to me or it will be painfully obvious to the extreme. lol.

does anyone know if the Jeti spin makes any noise or indication of life without being armed by the receiver? I'm trying to rule out a dead esc. it's never been run but weirder things have happened.

[CornelP]

I asked a friend of mine that has a DX3 and he managed to set it up for these ESCs. Set the channel no3 (aux) on reverse, this will fix it . All the other settings on normal. Apparently it's written in the manual... very small prints.

just tried the heli normal setting, ( not fixed rpm) and no luck.

yeah it's an old thread I know but I didn't see the need to start a new thread considering it was just questions about the same controller. I actually bought the controller around 18 months ago but the project sat on the backburner for a while untill I gathered motivation to finish it. since then I noticed they came out with a spin 300 but I think the 200 will work ok if I can get it to work that is.

there is also a 300

Ok one thing I noticed was an aircraft setting on your Jeti box. it should not say aircraft I am thinkinhg you need to see if there is another setting when you see the "Orentation mode- aircraft" try changing that setting as you are not using an aircraft controler hopfully it is that simple.

Good luck and there are plenty of guys here that may be very willing to help you.

Pete

Hi Pete, I appreciate the help. I really do hope it is a simple solution. I will try another setting unfortunately there is only, Aircraft and various Heli settings so all use a stick radio. I will try a Heli setting later and let you know how it goes.

Thanks, P

Hello all, my name is Paolo and hoping if anyone can help me with understanding the correct settings for a jeti spin 200. I'm trying to get it to work with a land based Spektrum Dx3r radio and it will not arm up. Jeti site has no troubleshooting advice and the only place I can see people using a similar setup is here in the boat forums. although I do own electric boats in this project I'm trying to get one working in a 1:5th scale onroad race truck and a neu 2215 2.5 y on 10s. sorry if it's not appropriate to post here but RC boaters seem to be the only guys using the big controllers with trigger radios.

I have a link to the jeti box setup I did below and if anyone has any information or knowledge that can help me overcome this problem I will be much appreciative.

note :I have since doing the video put the receiver on the jeti box to work out the pulse width. found it was 1.5 ms at neutral and 1.91 at full throttle so I adjusted that and it still did not work. Reversing throttle channel also did not work.

Do you guys think I need a pistix adapter even though the Pulse width is user adjustable through the jeti box?

maybe so but for the price you cant beat it, they have 2 different ones the el cheepo and the sintellion the second one works really good for me at least look at my blog and view the you tube of my run I have been using this esc for months it runs cool and if your on a budget or don't have one give it a try with a pistik it just goes and goes
