I’m experimenting with 2 basic esc’s, 2 T200 thrusters, and a thruster commander. The escs and thruster commander are all receiving 16v input. One motor runs for about 5 seconds and then “reboots”. It stops running and then emits 3 tones. The other thruster initializes with 4 tones and will not r…

I got the tones backwards. 5 tones and the thruster works. 3 tones and the thruster does not work.

Hi @markymark , I’m not quite sure I understand your description of what is going on with the addendum. If the thruster stops running under load, this could suggest an under voltage condition causing a shutdown of the microcontroller on the ESC, or the microcontroller on the thruster commander send…

The shutdown issue seems to be related to the power supply. It seems like there might be a voltage spike and overvoltage protection is shutting down the motor. I’ll do some more testing to confirm. This transformer works: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07D5QVPWK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s0…

After more testing (and revisiting my long lost current calculating skills), it seems the deluxe digital power converters are not up to the challenge. They max out at 15A and can’t handle a quick boost in power. Ramping up the speed of the motor very slowly to under 15A works but is not ideal in the…

Yup, that would do it. I generally suggest having a power supply that can handle a minimum of at least 25 A per thruster -Adam
