When I arm the motors will the trottle output go to 0 instead of the normally displayed 7 in the box real time servo position? (windows pc)

It will be at 7

Ok got is,

Found this on this long topic, is this still actual and the way to calibrate the ESC's?

1. Power on TX radio
2. Power on YS-X6 controller only. Don't power up your ESC/motor yet.
3. Put YS-X6 into "enable insurance". Confirm enable insurance.
4. Set TX Radio to full throttle.
5.Plug in power to ESC/Motor.
6.Once you hear sound from ESC/Motor put TX radio to minimum throttle.
7. You should hear esc beeping to confirm that throttle range calibration is successful. Restart power.

If that doesnt work, switch the order of step 3 with step 4.

Holco just send you an pm on fpvforum give me a call I will talk you through.

Yes

no sorry but that is wrong, you should also make sure you first init setup and are in settings state. That is the only way to get full throttle. For the rest procedure is right.

Is there a way to reverse the trottle output from the YS-X6?

The problem I have is that the ESC's want to see a positive 100% signal for entering the calibration mode, but the YS-X6 give's a negative 100% signal at full throttle.

Surely reversing your throttle on your Tx will then mean that the signal is reversed to your ESC?

And unless you reverse all your channels as per the manual, you are not going to be able to arm the motors anyway.

Agreed, you have to get into "Init Setup" and don't forget to quit setup when finished.

Problem solved

I use opto ESC's and there is no power on the ESC output from the controller, one servo wire from the RX to the ext.1 output solved it.

Yes I know, in this config its not possible to use gimbal servo's without using an external bec, I don't need them so no problem.

Instead of 'enable insurance' - after powering up YS-X6 controller only - I unarm the motor using inverted V on my Tx, then full throttle (I've calibrated throttle using software before). Then only I power up esc/motor.

Just make sure you have your props off!

Oh yeah, one thing.. is there any light / LED indication if the motor is armed? I can't see this...
Can only see it on my Android / PC. Anyway to check if I don't have my phone with me?

The way that works for us was/is,

1. Power on TX radio
2. Power on YS-X6 controller only (In my case I had to make an extra lipo Y cable because normally the red servo power plug is connected to the distribution power board and provide in this case also power to the ESC's and than the calibration will not work!!)
4. Make sure that you are in manual flight mode!! Make init setup actif (this will shut off the gyro's) and arm with TX sticks ( V or reversedV ) and set direct TX Radio to full throttle.
5.Plug in power to ESC/Motor.
6.Once you hear the sound from ESC/Motor that they are in program mode put TX radio to minimum throttle.
7. You should hear esc beeping to confirm that throttle range calibration is successful. Restart power.
8. When all ok, power off the system and remove the lipo Y cable.

Note,

With Opto ESC's you need to connect a 5V BEC on one of the Ext. outputs, when you don't use the Ext. outputs for servo's you can connect a servo wire from you RX to one of the Ext. outputs.

Note,
In our case we didn't need to activate init setup, we watched the throttle servo signal on a oscilloscope and there is absolutely no deviation in the signal range with init setup on or off.

Its not clear for us what the function of this init setup is, on trottle it ain't doing anything??

Don't bother for a wifi connection you don't need it with the calibration.

With Opto ESC's you need to connect a 5V BEC on one of the Ext. outputs, when you don't use the Ext. outputs for servo's you can connect a servo wire from you RX to one of the Ext. outputs.

exactly what I did (but yours have detailed information)
Yeah I too am not sure what's the need for init setup or enable insurance.. I'm just guessing it will unarm the motors?
I tried this once and it swayed my camera gimbal to it's max position.. nearly got my gopro thrown out because of the sudden sway!
