OK, so I attempted to hook the ESC to a motor to program it, but am having a bit of a hard time with programming. ESC/radio calibration is easy and went without a hitch, but programming the various settings is giving me issues.

How it is supposed to work:

- Enter programming by holding the "set" button until the red LED stops flashing and the green LED flashes once.

- Use the "set" button to change the settings (motor beeps for the setting count).

- When you want to go to the next programming option, you hold the "set" button for 3 sec and it advances to the next option.

- At any point, shut the switch off to end programming.

How it is working for me:

- I enter programming no problem

- I can change to any of the three potentional settings for the first program option (reverse/brake operation)

- This is where I'm stuck. I cannot advance to the next programming option. Holding the set button for any length of time (tried everything from 1 sec to 10 sec) simply changes the setting on the current programming option, but never goes to the next option.

Is there a trick to this? I've never had any issues programming any ESC, even the Quark which can be tricky at times. The "set" button obviously works, it's just not seeing when I hold it for the required 3 seconds. And radio EPA/trims are not an issue since the radion is not used at all during programming at all (but I do have trim centered, EPAs for F and R set at 100%, and linear action (not exponential).

When I get home tonight, I'm gonna try removing the switches and wiring in a different switch. But I don't think it's the switch TBH.
