Dear Gary. Your short video explained perfectly how to set up the yep speedie for an airplane. It no doubt saved me a countless amount of time, trying to figure out how to use the programming card. You are a true gentleman! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Kind regards, Flyboy09 😊
Thanks. That double botton push saved my day. Couldn't figure out how to get to page two. I don't agree with you on the end point setting, but I'll leave that. Thanks again!
I suck at remembering stuff. Don't fly too many electrics either. Use YEP ESCs exclusively when I do. I've probably watched this video 50 times. All my planes using YEP stuff are perfect. You rock.
Scott you are not alone, I have to refer back to my own videos all the time on how to set something up! And I also have all YEP ESC's really reliable and not expensive.
Thanks once again Gary for saving my bacon. Got a 60A YEP in my new Grafas and the esc was doing too many strange things. Soft start and soft break. It was even waiting for mid throttle to start turning!! All that I have left to figure out is the rough start... it sort of stutters. On Quads you can tell the controller what signal will consistently start the motors and set it.
I have timing set to AUTO on the second page. and when I tried a 4S the start was smooth. I will try it at the field today with the 3S3300 I want to fly with and let you know. The issue is only at the bottom. Monitor says -80%
Thanks this was really useful for setting the ESC up! However I had problems calibrating the throttle using the programming card when the signal was going through a Vector flight controller. The solution I found was to calibrate the throttle endpoints by doing the usual process without the programming card i.e. set throttle max on Tx, power on ESC, wait for beeps and then lower throttle and wait for the confirmation beeps. Works fine now os if anyone has a similar problem this will save you some problem solving time ;)
I have one and the acceleration is slow, I guess that is for helis. I don't have the card and it is hard to get here, so is there any way I can program the acceleration using the transmitter?
Back again lol... Moved and had stuff in storage for a bit and forgot again... Still awesome how to. 100A YEP ESC programmed for a FW Mig21 with a FMS 80mm inrunner. Hopefully no crashing manana...
I got the programming card and went though the sequence. Easy to follow thanks. However, I still can not get my motor to run. I have disconnected the red wire as I'm running a separate 2s Lipo for RX power. This has been standard practice for hipowered set ups like mine but could this be the issue ? Motor will simply not run... Thanks
I think you might need the red wire when you program the ESC. The only thing I can think is wrong is the ESC is not arming because the throttle is not low. If your radio is a Futaba type you have to reverse the channel. If that's not the issue I would try a servo on the throttle channel just to confirm the stick is able to move the servo.
very helpful thank you - I have the 150A for a hotliner but without the programming card ( silly of me ) so cant work out the Throttle beep programming ... can you help at all ?
The solution is easy - Get the programming card!!! I don't do beeps and that is another reason I love my YEP ESC's. The USA warehouse at Hobby King stocks the card for under $7 bucks. Here is the link: hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__36896__Hobbyking_YEP_ESC_Programming_Card_US_Warehouse_.html?strSearch=yep
After I completed the programming for 70mm Dr Mad 5 blade 4S EDF all works well except that after a burst of throttle when I then close the throttle i hear 2 beeps repeating every few seconds. I tried different batteries including new batteries that were fully charged. What is this please ?
It's very important to trim the 'gas' stick. Not all radios are created equal. All the decent ESC's have a trim for the throttle stick. The ESC needs to know where zero and full are. Without trimming for example some of my ESC's won't start the throttle until the stick is well past the 1/3 mark. It also helps make the throttle channel more linear. In some cases the calibration is mandatory because the ESC won't see zero so it won't arm until it's calibrated. It all depends on the radio. That's why they have that function.
Hi Gary thanks for vid great help, but i think i got a problem, on Special functions when i do STOP with my throttle at 0% and press enter the tone is the same as all other tones, but when it comes to doing FULL SPEED with my throttle at 100% and press enter the tone is different as if there is something wrong, my throttle hold on TX is off, have you got any ideas mate? regards Matt
Not sure, try testing the throttle with a servo installed to see how much travel you have. You could also try a fresh model in your radio, maybe the throttle setting has an end point set or a throttle curve.
thank you for showing this video. I'm watching it with my ESC from hobby king in my hand! just got it today!. but the programming card I ordered is not here!, label on package tells me it was received unsealed. so i got steam rolling from my ears! would you have an extra? it seams shipping from hobby king is a problem. not sure i want to but anything there ever again
Hi Gary, handy guide you have provided for us new guys :-), I am certainly going to use that brake feature for my new pusher arrangement / no gear. But with all due respect, why this trimming the throttle before setting Stop / Full Throttle. Better resolution would be better had by teaching it the standard range, no? :-) I am just putting a heat sink on my new 60A and will program it tonight it is truly a well made bit of gear. I hope I made my 50" flying wing tough enough to withstand the output from this 550 watt NTM PropDrive,... I will never run out of BEC :-) Best regards, C
Hi Gary got throttle sorted, went into TX setting and reveresed throttle and nearly all ok, but the esc is beeping when sitting idel, beep, beep, beep beep and so on, dont know how to get rid of it do you? and also it takes some time for motor to get too 100% but i suppose that can be changed via the startup speed cant it? as i have it on Heli slow,. but thanks again for ur vid, great help
I don't use any cell detection, I prefer telemetry battery monitoring from the radio with an alarm. Also every plane I fly the cell count never changes.
Hi Gary, This is a great video... thanks so much! I know this isn't your job to help us trouble shoot problems, but if you have any ideas, I would appreciate it. My YEP 60A ESC (came w/ BFG 2600) won't hold it programming. I go thru and program everything, but when I unplug and plug back in, I'm starting from scratch. As a matter of fact, none of the XY grids are lit-up until I start pushing the red X (rows) button or Y (columns) button.
+heychas Turns out my BFG2600 ESC was not a YEP... hence, the programming card wouldn't work! Once I purchased a real YEP esc, it worked fine. Thanks again for the video.
me again, I just came back in from programming my YEP card. now I've got full throttle straight away, which is required when hand launching my Skyhunter... I had managed to launch last time with the slow spool up, but I really didn't like it. Thanks again.
Thank you Gary this was a huge help to me. These YEP programming cards are so good, I also got the card for the Hobbyking Blue Series ESC's as well (I am sticking with YEP and Blue ESC's due to the size of the SBEC with them, with YEP 1st choice unless out of stock, as both these these give comfortable SBEC leeway for 6 servo's with the size of model I fly). Link for the Blue Series ESC card for those that need one - www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=13431&aff=1220394 eta: the way the Blue Series card is used is quite different to the YEP card - there's a good explanation of it on TH-cam.
Dear Gary. Your short video explained perfectly how to set up the yep speedie for an airplane. It no doubt saved me a countless amount of time, trying to figure out how to use the programming card. You are a true gentleman! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Kind regards, Flyboy09 😊
Back yet again. Plz don't ever take this down. I should probably write down the directions but I won't ever...
I can't believe it has over 100,000 views! As long as TH-cam stays this video will be here Scott.
Thanks for the video! Haven’t used my programming card for 5-6 yrs. I needed a refresher course.
thanks for this, I received my YEP programming card the other week, and I had no idea what I was configuring as I didn't know which page I was on lol.
Thanks. That double botton push saved my day. Couldn't figure out how to get to page two. I don't agree with you on the end point setting, but I'll leave that. Thanks again!
Thank you very much! The calibration was unclear and thus I was stuck! Great Video!
I suck at remembering stuff. Don't fly too many electrics either. Use YEP ESCs exclusively when I do. I've probably watched this video 50 times. All my planes using YEP stuff are perfect. You rock.
Scott you are not alone, I have to refer back to my own videos all the time on how to set something up! And I also have all YEP ESC's really reliable and not expensive.
Thanks for posting this, saves everyone with a YEP time.
from my Zagis to the $2000 F5J sailplane, only use YEP. These things are awesome, and easy to program.
Same here Jason, only the snobs continue to use Castle controllers, they are convinced more $$$ is always better.
Great Video - really useful as the ESC's and Cards are both being sent out without any instructions and set up for helis only.
Thanks once again Gary for saving my bacon. Got a 60A YEP in my new Grafas and the esc was doing too many strange things. Soft start and soft break. It was even waiting for mid throttle to start turning!! All that I have left to figure out is the rough start... it sort of stutters. On Quads you can tell the controller what signal will consistently start the motors and set it.
Hmmm, the rough start is odd, do you have it set for auto-timing? If that does not solve it I would check your solder connections to the motor.
I have timing set to AUTO on the second page. and when I tried a 4S the start was smooth. I will try it at the field today with the 3S3300 I want to fly with and let you know. The issue is only at the bottom. Monitor says -80%
Thank you for this video you have saved me hours of trying to switch over to aeroplane mode via my transmitter !
clifford clinch can you tell me how please
Gary, big thanks for this video! It really helped to program my first YEP ESC.
Thanks this was really useful for setting the ESC up!
However I had problems calibrating the throttle using the programming card when the signal was going through a Vector flight controller.

thanks, plain and clear. i wish all tubers were like ya. congrats.
Brilliant Thanks can only repeat other peoples' comments 👍🏻
un gros ! gros ! merci a vous !!! des explications simple et d'une efficacité redoutable merci ! a vous monsieur
Thanks for the video, I seem to periodically forget things. 😂
how change mode hilicopter to airplane without card ???
Excellent video, Very easy to understand.
5:59 thanks for a great informative video 👍
Gary: I just wanted to thank you for posting the instructions. Just what this old guy needed to get the procedure down pat.
Hello i have one question. If this speed control can go tooway. For speed Boat.
No
I have one and the acceleration is slow, I guess that is for helis. I don't have the card and it is hard to get here, so is there any way I can program the acceleration using the transmitter?
That's the spool up speed which is easily programmed using the card. I don't believe you can program that with the TX.

OK - Found the answer elsewhere. 2 beeps repeating means battery low voltage.
Fine. But on mine I have 2 cables with 3 pins with exact same connector and wire colors. What is the purpose of the other one?
Great information! Thank you. I made a mistake and imputed REV (Navy) how do I remove that setting?
I'm not sure it does anything? Did it change the direction of the motor? From what I searched it has to do with the boat version of the ESC.
@@GaryQuiring This option did nothing :)
thanks gary good work!!... one question...the trothle setup... make only with rx conected or with autopilot controler??
Thanks for this vid! Just got my card was scratching my head! Big thumbs up for this! ;-)
I have a HV version with 2 cables and no BEC. It does not work that way. The card work but the ESC store nothing.
clearest instructions yet! Thank you.
I'd love to know how to set it for boats for their boat version.
amazing thanks Gary
Thank you, hard to believe I made this video 10 years ago and the YEP ESC's are still working great.
Why do you trim your gas stick? In my oppionion this does not make any sense.
It's very important to trim the 'gas' stick. Not all radios are created equal. All the decent ESC's have a trim for the throttle stick. The ESC needs to know where zero and full are.

sehr gut und flink erklärt😊

Not sure, try testing the throttle with a servo installed to see how much travel you have. You could also try a fresh model in your radio, maybe the throttle setting has an end point set or a throttle curve.
one rule on which the PWM frequency KHZ?
because I do not know its frequency ...and power startup?
My question relates the the cell count for the batteries when you chose lipo, is 4 still the losest when realistically it will run on a 3s pack?
hey, can these ESC's be programmed to go reverse? and do they have high-torque braking?
There is no reverse option. The brake has a low, medium and high.
Motor reversing from ESC (no need to change ESC/motor wires) .It says so
Você sabe se este programador de esc e igual do YPG esc?
thank you for showing this video. I'm watching it with my ESC from hobby king in my hand! just got it today!. but the programming card I ordered is not here!, label on package tells me it was received unsealed. so i got steam rolling from my ears!

What is startup power, at the bottom of page 2. Thanks
From what I know it has something to do with large props, sometimes they need more power to spin up smoothly. I never touched that setting.
Ok, Thanks. I have set it to 32%. The motor is driving a starter for a Zenoah 62 Gas engine. Works well now.
Hi Gary got throttle sorted, went into TX setting and reveresed throttle and nearly all ok, but the esc is beeping when sitting idel, beep, beep, beep beep and so on, dont know how to get rid of it do you? and also it takes some time for motor to get too 100% but i suppose that can be changed via the startup speed cant it? as i have it on Heli slow,. but thanks again for ur vid, great help
The progcard is the same for YGE ESC ?
How do you change the motor rotation using the programming card?
You can't, you need to reverse two wires to the motor.
The web site is wrong, Hobby King has lots of errors on the product descriptions that never get fixed.
What is the freewheeling thing?
Unfortunately it does not have auto cells count detection...
I don't use any cell detection, I prefer telemetry battery monitoring from the radio with an alarm. Also every plane I fly the cell count never changes.
Which channel on the Rx does it plug into? Ch 3?
Very insightful video! Thank you!!!!

Good vid on basic setup ! I see you have a Topmodel CZ canopy on the table
Yes my primary interest is sailplanes. I have several Top Models. I have a few photos on my RCG Blog:
www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=20788
thanks very much Gary. Good video
Very good instruction! Thank Gary
Wow ! Thank you guy! Very awesome of you to post this !!! I have a 30A the card only shows 4S and up. Is that a problem?
That was so helpful, cheers
Well done!
Thanks a lot, good explanations. Great
Thanks, clear and concise
Many thanks, you saved my sanity. How do they expect us to use this stuff without any instructions.BC
There is a manual on Hobby King website
Thank you. It works now !
Way Cool ! Thanks

Thanks! Good job
Thanks - very helpfull!
The RX wire coming out of the programming card, what channel on the receiver does that plug into?
Throttle channel
