You saved my -- I was struggling with my ESC couldn’t get the correct beeps when you said check your throttle values I had an ah-ha moment. My throttle cut was on. THANKS AGAIN!! This is Bill Stewart OVER AND OUT!!!!!

bro your comment on throttle cut saved my life god bless I had throttle cut in too!

Please do a tutorial on how to program the new AR637T with the Avian Smart ESC, so we can update our current models and to any model to the Smart eco system with the Smart batteries.

So glad I searched for this video. I have a Avian SPMXE1080 ESC. Turns out you need to remove the fan plug from the ESC and connect the double male to the fan port and the ESC port to enable the programing of the ESC.

Hi Robert i have an 80amp Avian esc and a 6250HX FBL unit and reciever would that be the same to connect that receiver unplug fan motor and connect reciver. Many thanks.

Fan port is for program box programming

My Avian 80 ESC came with 7.4v bec voltage as default. Docs say 6.0v should be default! Luckily I did not blow up my servos. Telemetry on my DX 6 showed the wrong rx voltage and I was able to change bec voltage as described in the manual. Still missing battery voltage and current in my telemetry with the ar6610t. Do I need an fw upgrade?

Hi Tom, Should show doing this with the Smart Link Programming updater.

Can I select heli govener store with the stick or do I have to buy the programmer?

i have a 80 amp spektrum avion smart esc if i want to have a battery dedicated for flt control icase the main motor 6s battery dies where do i plug in the flt control battery?

What about the SPMXAE1240 DUAL ESC (which of the two esc's would respond)? I don't think you neither throttle stick nor forward (ix14) program them? You must use that program box??

Hi why is the fan motor unpluged ? many thanks in advanced

Can I use the spectrum programmer to do this or only through throttle stick

@spektrumrc I Tried everything with my Nx 8 and ar9020 but the 100a avian only spins Fan and Despite Running with Ur instructions and vids…. Only Sound is continuous beeps

How do you save and exit on the 100a 120a or 130a? its not in your documentation and you did not show it in your video here for for some reason you cut away and never showed how you got out of the program!?!?

Can Avian Smart ESC's be used with non spectrum motors? Suitable for EDF?

How do i set up the reverse function on the Motor for an aircraft like the Draco,

Draco and every BNF with Throttle Reverse has it set to Aux2 (CH7) assign a switch to that channel and you are good to go

Is it possible to activate the reverse thrust feature via throttle stick? If not by throttle stick, Can the ESC programmer activate the reverse? I’ve got an Avion 60 in a turbo timber evolution, but my Dx18 is V1 and apparently doesn’t support programming via transmitter….

Yes you can, that said, if you update your DX18 you will have access to Textgen telemetry and programming.

Where does one find the instructions on how to do this including what beeps to listen for. Is it in PDF form or is it written down somewhere. Thanks.

Absolutely, all you need to do is access the Avian Prog menu or use the programmer box. The esc is already updated with this firmware. Hope that helps!

spektrum manual says a long beep finishes calibration yet you say and it did do short beep

New to Avian technology... bought ESC recently and followed instructions to the tee . The ESC makes the right tones until I lower the throttle. However instead of hearing tones for the selection, it makes several very fast random tones. Throttle is calibrated, not throttle cut and parametters set at 100% both ways. Any clues?? Have not been able to reach tech support in days.

I had the same thing happen, you select something get a ton of fast beeps, just wait until it starts from the first beep in slow, then you can actually program as shown in the video. Its not broken, might need an update, but definately worked for me.

Does it have reverse throttle on it

How do you reset to factory settings

Have a Spektrum AVIAN 80amp ESC, Spektrum DX9 transmitter, Spektrum AR620 receiver and AVIAN 550-650kv motor. Could not get the beeps to sound or match as in the video. Doesn't work for me, so buying the programmer and trying that way.

you will have a ton of fast beeps, just wait until it calms down, then you can select properly. I had that happen too

What about avian lite esc?

Seems spektrum BEASTX will not do any calibrate or program with sticks. calibrate seems not needed....automatic calibrated. Will not enter program mode........took me hours to realise using any other receiver other than BEASTX works fine. bind to other receiver in spare model to program.. then back to BeastX when all program done. Surprised nobody has mentioned this.

This does not work at all with a Jeti Transmitter. And according to Spektrum support that is a known issue(FW bug). This procedure only works with Spektrum transmitters. Just a wee bit frustrating after 2 hours of beepfest in my living room.

It didn’t work for me, I tried to set the throttle end points

this is complex!

I can't stand counting long and short beeps it's a pain in the butt.

Guys, why is there no capacity readout without a smart battery? This is really disappointing as the ESC measures current so it would also be possible to calculate a capacity readout with a non-smart battery. You are so close to making a perfect telemetry ecosystem, if only you would provide capacity readout with normal batteries. I really don't wanto to buy 20 new SMART Batteries just to get capacity readout… Do I really still need to buy an Unisens-E Module from SM-Modellbau? It costs less than the Spektrum Energy Sensor and it is better. If you really want to become the number one here in Europe, you have to do better.

@SpektrumRCvideos

The reason is because not all current sensors are the same. If we were to have a accurate current counter inside the esc it would have increased the cost substantially. Even with a Smart battery the mAh counter can be inaccurate so we have opted for a % remaining value and graph. Much more user friendly and easier for the layman to understand.

@@SpektrumRCvideos Thanks very much for your Reply, I understand that. But that leads me to the next question: Wouldn't it be great to have an mAh readout for those who want this as an option and most importantly for non-smart batteries? To me, a SMART ESC seems pretty much useless if I still don't know an approximate number of how much mAh I drained out of the battery. The battery voltage really depends on the load and the temperature so it isn't a dependable value. The inaccuracy of the current sensor can be compensated by a correction factor. That's the way other manufacturers (SM-Modellbau for example) do it and it works really well. The way it works is you measure the real current with a current clamp, compare it to the telemetry readout and if the readout is off, correct it with a factor. I understand that you want to offer a really easy to use system which is great and I love Spektrum for that but I would also really like the possibility of having a mAh readout for the advanced user.

It doesn't work!
