BK Controller set up problem - RC-Monster Forums

it doesn't appear that the 2 pins are touching each other or anything like that.

I don't understand what is wrong with it when it worked for you when you tested it?

Just to make sure I have everything plugged in properly...the steering servo plugs into spot 1 in my receiver, the ESC goes into spot 2 in the receiver and the UBEC goes into the battery spot...is that correct?

Sorry for confusion, two pins need to be shorted when red jumper installed, if the jumper is bad then controller would be always in programming mode. Make sure that your jumper are good or replace it with known good one.

I'm pretty sure it is going to work for you as well, there is nothing wrong with ESC.

All the connections are correct, just to make sure you are getting all 3 beeps for entering in programming mode, for full power and for full reverse.

is there somewhere I can purchase just the jumper to see if that's the problem?

Just short to pins together with bare wire, that should prevent you from entering into programming mode and will check jumper as well. You testing with 12cell's NiMh, right?

ok, I will try that when I get home from work today.

Yes, 12 cells and they are NiMh

I just noticed when I was taking the little red jumper off that one of the 2 pin wires isn't soldered to the esc. Here's a picture....I've circled the one that isn't soldered on there.

Could that be why it is always in the programming mode?

Can you get better focused shot?
