The POT resistance does not matter, ironically.

Hillhater, could you please post a pic of this, perhaps add a red arrow?...

I am using a Hall throttle with the turnigy set up described previously. No problems.
. .well actually i am still having a lot of issues with "sync failure" under load, ...but that is nothing to do with the throttle.

Sorry Kep' im no sparky just a "suck it and see" idiot with a hot soldering iron !Kepler said:You are using a Hall effect throttle where a 5K was used just by putting in a jumper? You have gone from a resistive change to a voltage change. This needs more explanation on how this works..
Unfortunately, the "sync " issues were there before i wired up the throttle...just using the servo tester "au naturale" , and they persist unchanged after install.Kepler said:You didnt tell us this when you were talking about sync issues. I wonder if your setup has lost resolution and pulse width is increasing too quickly at the lower end of your throttle range now.
That's a Hal production :wink:AussieJester said:And a glimpse of what Kepler has planned next maybe
Hillhater said:A further thought on this Hall throttle issue..
..this Turnigy servo tester has a "Auto" function (firmware ?) that will automatically run the ESC through the full speed range .. bypassing the potentiometer.
that would suggest that there is something else, other than the 0-5k pot, "on board" to control the output.
Maybe the Hall throttle is somehow using that firmware system ?? ( just random thoughts :? )

Jeremy, I am sure many of you electrical guys can do this easily , but unless i am being delusional,...it seems that this can be done using the $5 Turnigy Servo tester and one simple jumper wire mod....even more easily ! ?
I would ask that someone else repeat this to verify it before we mislead too many people.
Jeremy Harris said:OK, I've had a go at making a simple Picaxe interface this morning.
...... Here's a quick description of what I did.
