Martin Harris - Moderator Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Yes - if the BEC isn't supplying the current to operate the receiver. Easy to prove by binding with a battery supply to the receiver or another ESC's BEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bind is being lost something else is likely the culprit, though the only system I’ve seen that happen on tbh is Spektrum (sorry, not a dig, just my experience).

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Perhaps a little more info? Are you unable to bind the receiver to your transmitter or has it lost bind as suggested in Matty’s reply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Bradly Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I've had a bind fail on a Frsky Rx in an electric model. Couldn't identify why. Junked the Rx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 As Martin suggest substitution with another power supply is the way to diagnose this sort of issue. If you are unable to bind using a power supply that is known to in another set up then you know your bind problem is due to something else. A bind can fail for quite a number of reasons like the transmitter is simply too close to the receiver! The important question is has that receiver been successfully bound to that particular transmitter before? Was the bind lost without any action by you? A bind is always lost the instant you plug in a bind plug, or press the 'bind' button if the receiver uses one, with the receiver powered up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
