CC BEC 2.0 Castle Link B

[Andbiv]

Can someone guide me on how to change the voltage of the CC BEC 2.0 with the Castle Link B iPhone app? I can see the mamba x ESC and make changes to it but I do not see my BEC 2.0. Within the app I currently have options to change the built in BEC within the Mamba X but not the external one.

The wireless doesnt work with external BECs.

Website says it will work. Even a demo mode in the ios app.

As I understand it you have to connect the B-link to the BEC, not the ESC in order to program the BEC wirelessly.

Bringing back an older thread, I've been searching for a while and this seems like the most relevant thread to my questions.

I just received my CC BEC 2.0 WP. Waiting on the B Link to arrive in the mail.

Installing it in a bomber with the stock ESC and RX.

As I understand it- Disconnect the power (red) wire from the RX to the ESC, tap red/black coming from battery. Plug one output from BEC into the "B" slot in the RX. I have an empty slot (channel 3) in my RX that I can put the other output from the BEC, but could I use this other output for something else like a light bar? Is it as simple as stripping the red and black wires and attaching those to a light bar? Is there a better way? I don't have anything else at the moment to use it for, just thinking forward.

B-Link- as mentioned, I'm using the stock ESC/RX. The diagram on the CC app shows to install the b-link between the RX and ESC, but I don't think that will work for me. To set the output volts on the BEC- do install the b-link to the output on the BEC going to the "b"slot" and plug the other end of the b-link into the "b" slot?

Running a Savox 1283g, pretty sure it maxes out at 6 volts so that is what I plan to set the BEC at.

The BEC 2.0 has two sets of wires coming out of it. One set has 3 wires and the other has 2. On both sets, the red wire is the wire that supplies the BEC voltage, and the brown or black wire is the ground wire. On the set that has 3, there is a yellow wire, this is the signal wire. On an ESC this wire would be used to get the signal from the receiver or for communication with a Castle Link or B-Link. On a BEC this is only used for communication with a Castle Link or B-Link. In order to use a program a Castle product you have to connect the 3 wire set with the yellow wire up to a Castle Link or B-Link.

You can plug either or both wires into your receiver on any open channel. It doesn't have to be the B or Batt channel, but it can be if your receiver has one. All of the channels on a receiver have the power and ground pins connected internally so if you are plugging a BEC in, it doesn't matter which one you use. Both sets only need to be used when using 3+ full size servos(it is really designed around use in a helicopter or airplane). If it actually gets used near it's current limit and only one of the two sets is used, it can melt the plug. You can use the two sets independently as well, you can use one of them for your receiver and the other for a light-bar. Or if you have 2 servos that you want to run at a different voltage, you can use a Holmes bypass adapter on both.

You are correct, you need to disconnect the red wire from factory ESC. You never want 2 different BECs connected together. Even if they are both outputting the same voltage they will both be trying to regulate the voltage and mess each other up.
