Battery error with new RP2040 throttle controller

Power System
1

Hi all,

I have an SP140 and was sent a new RP2040 throttle controller (with a USB-C port) to replace my old throttle controller that died. I’ve tried firmware version 5.9R and 6.0R. Both versions give me a BATTERY ERROR when I plug in a battery.

I know the batteries (two of them) are not actually the problem because they still work fine with my son’s SAMD2/CM0 throttle controller.

Is there a compatibility issue with the newer throttle controller? Does the ESC firmware need to be updated? (I looked into doing this, but wasn’t sure if I found the correct instructions, and also my laptop is a Macbook.)

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Scott

Yes the ESC firmware must be updated to the latest version for the telemetry to work.
