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.

The Castle Creations ESC offer a special "External Governor" mode to be used with flybarless systems. Anyhow, this mode has an integrated soft start and autorotation bailout function. Therfore we do NOT recommend to use this mode, as MICROBEAST PLUS can do this on its own! Instead we suggest to setup the Castle ESC to a very simple throttle control mode which is offered by using the fixed wing "Airplane" mode as "Vehicle type" in combination with a very fast throttle response:

The Castle Creations ESC offer a special "External Governor" mode to be used with flybarless systems. This mode has an integrated soft start and autorotation bailout function. If your MICROBEAST PLUS/AR7210BX is updated to firmware version 4.2.x or higher you can use this mode, but it is required to disable the soft start feature of the device using the Expert Parameters section in the StudioX Software ([[#Using Firmware Version 4.2.x or higher and "External Governor" mode|see section below for further details]]). '''Otherwise, do not use this mode. By default MICROBEAST PLUS / AR7210BX will do all the motor control logic including initial soft start on its own!''' For this you have to setup the Castle ESC to a very simple throttle control mode which is offered by using the fixed wing "Airplane" mode as "Vehicle type" in combination with a very fast throttle response:

When using a Castle EDGE controllers with the provided rpm signal cable, make sure the "Auxiliary wire mode" is set to "RPM out". Otherwise there will not be any rpm signal on this wire:<br />
