===Setup using the CastleLink Software===

The RPM Governor function of MICROBEAST PLUS firmware version 4.0.0 does work very well with Castle Creations ESCs. The Castle Creations Phoenix EDGE series provide a separate rpm signal output, so despite the firmware with governor function there is nothing else needed to connect your ESC to MICROBEAST PLUS. When using a Castle Talon, ICE, ICE2 or similar ESC you additionally need to buy a rpm phase sensor like the BEASTX phase sensor BXA76013 so that MICROBEAST PLUS can detect the motor speed/rotor head speed of your helicopter. To connect and supply the rpm sensor with power you will also need the sensor adapter BX76401.

===Transmitter setup (endpoint adjustment)=== <!--T:7-->

Before you can use your Castle Creations ESC you must adjust your transmitters throttle range so that it'll fit to the ESC's throttle range. Later onwards we will also set this throttle range at the MICROBEAST PLUS unit.

Before you can use your Castle Creations ESC you must adjust your transmitters throttle range so that it'll fit to the ESC's throttle range. Later onwards we will also set this throttle range at the MICROBEAST PLUS unit.

(1) First of all make sure you have a standard linear throttle curve from 0 - 100% in your transmitter and that your servo endpoints are reaching from -100% to +100%. In this example we're using a Spektrum DX9, for your transmitter these values maybe somehow different. Basically what you need is a standard throttle control as you get when using a new model memory in the transmitter. Make sure you can control the throttle by watching the throttle channel movement on the transmitter's servo monitor.<br />

   Warning: If you hear a row of two "bleep" sounds, the ESC signalizes that low throttle position has been detected.

(4) At menu point B again carefully decrease the throttle servo endpoint for throttle low stick position. The motor should start to run immediately when deacreasing the throttle a few percent. If it does, increase the endpoint by a few percent, so the motor will stop again. You can see that the Status LED on MICROBEAST PLUS changed to blue colour indicating that the adjustment has been detected.<br />
