4. Kuweka na Kuweka
Ufungaji sahihi ni muhimu kwa utendaji na usalama bora. Fuata hatua hizi kwa makini:
- Kuweka ESC: Securely mount the EZRUN 18A ESC in your vehicle using double-sided tape or screws. Ensure it has adequate airflow for cooling.
- Kuweka Mota: Install the EZRUN 12T/2030 motor into your vehicle's motor mount. Ensure proper gear mesh between the motor pinion and the spur gear.
- Connecting the Motor to ESC: Connect the three motor wires to the corresponding three wires on the ESC. While specific order is not critical for sensorless motors, maintaining consistency (e.g., A to A, B to B, C to C) is good practice. If the motor spins in the wrong direction, you can reverse two of the motor wires or adjust the motor rotation setting via the program card.
- Connecting the ESC to Receiver: Plug the ESC's throttle cable (usually a black, red, and white wire bundle) into the throttle channel (typically Channel 2) of your RC receiver.
- Kuunganisha Betri: Connect your battery pack to the ESC's battery input wires. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative). Incorrect polarity can cause severe damage.
- Radio System Setup: Turn on your transmitter, then turn on the ESC. Calibrate the ESC to your radio system's throttle range according to the ESC's specific calibration procedure (refer to the general Hobbywing ESC manual if not detailed here). This typically involves holding the throttle at full, neutral, and full reverse during power-up.
5. Programming with the LED Program Card
The included LED Program Card allows for easy adjustment of various ESC parameters. Connect the program card to the ESC's fan/program port (if available) or the throttle cable port (after disconnecting from the receiver) and power the ESC. The card will display the current settings, which can be changed using the "ITEM" and "VALUE" buttons.
Image 5.1: Close-up of the Hobbywing LED Program Card, showing the "ITEM" and "VALUE" display areas and buttons for navigating and changing settings. The card lists various basic and advanced parameters for the ESC.
