Programming Turnigy Plush 25A ESC with Turnigy Programming Card

(To see a list of all my Quadcopter blogs, click here).

Before I can wire up the flight controller, the Electronic Speed Controllers need to be programmed. I purchased Turnigy Plush 25A ESCs and a Turnigy Programming Card:

To program each ESC, plug the ESC’s 3 pin connector into the port marked BEC on the programming card. Note polarity: The black wire goes on the right side. Now plug the battery into the quadcopter. After a few seconds, the programming card will light up.

I used the following settings which I got from the primary source for this project: Instructables:

The settings used are:

• Brake: Off
• Battery Type: Li-xx
• Cut Off Type: Soft-Cut
• Cut Off Voltage: Low
• Start Mode: Normal
• Timing Mode: Hight
• Music: None
• Governor Mode: Off

It’s pretty easy, just use the arrow keys to get the selections correct, then press OK.

Here is one of my ESCs correctly programmed:

Once one is programmed, disconnect power, disconnect the ESC, and repeat for the next.
