Can you double-check the voltage of the cells you're using? Are you using 5s lipo?
Hmmmm -- interesting. So it works fine on Auto Lipo, but as soon as you set to a specific cutoff voltage it stops working?

I'll have Richard double check the software on Tuesday -- probably something a little buggy in V1.19

Thanx!

Proably best for him that way... I knew a guy whose name was Richard Handye. Needless to say he had a hard time... What were his parents thinking?

Thanks for your help, Patrick.

To clarify, mine didn't work at first with the custom cut-off set at 12.8V. When I checked it again, the cut-off was set to something like 236V. When I tried to change it, the numbers in that box moved around randomly. I clicked on the arrows next to the box and was able to get it back to 12.8V and it then worked properly with the custom setting.

Well, it worked properly until its second run, then it gave up the ghost. I suspect that it's related to the twin-servos in the E-Revo pulling too much from the internal BEC, because my V1 is still working great in a different Revo with a single weaker servo.

That's my suspicion anyway.

Thanks!

Brian

Thanks Brian -- your good description gives us something to look at.

We'll investigate this next week as soon as we are back at work.

yes sir that is correct.
I am running 5s with a 1515 2.5,was wanting to set 16v cutoff for 3.2 volts per cell just for a little protection for under voltage protection.


I am the store manager at a hobbyshop and we had another v2 mmm,so I tried it with the custom cutoff and same thing,works with auto-lipo doesn't with custom cutoff voltage,fan acts the same and everything.
I think it definately it something in the programming,hopefully you guys can get the bugs out pretty quick
