Need help with HobbyKing® ™ X-Car Beast Series ESC 1:8 Scale 150A ESC

Hi
i need some help with my ESC. I want to program it without a programming card but with a arduino instead. can someone help me what to do? I’m using an HobbyKing® ™ X-Car Beast Series ESC 1:8 Scale 150A, here’s the link: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbykingr-tm-x-car-beast-series-esc-1-8-scale-150a.html

And this is my motor: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-6364-190kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html

I’m using the arduino code from greatscott, but changed it a bit so it would work with my Arduino UNO and not a arduino nano.

I got the ESC in programming mode, but i can’t actually do anything after i send a signal to the esc. The manual says to turn it off. so i even pulled the power cable out. and back in and it just does some crazy things but does not turn.

Sorry I can’t help but are you doing emtb build?

I have a 120a xcar beast series esc and its more than enough for that motor. The 150a is waaaaay overkill

I would sell it pretty cheap with a programming card if you want. Its barely used

That has a pc interface built in. Why not set it up like that?
