How to Flash a Hobby King 20A ESC with simonk
wie Sie tun, machen, Film, Beispiel
In this video, I go through the steps I used to flash a cheap Hobby King 20 amp ESC with the simonk firmware. The same process can be applied to other ESCs. The simonk firmware is a must to get the most out of your multirotor! Search for "USBasp Programmer" on google or ebay for the usb programmer/cable required to do the flashing. This is the command line I used for the flashing: avrdude -c usbasp -p m8 -U flash:w:bs_nfet.hex Below are the links I mention in the video: The thread where I learned how to do it: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1513678 The hithub links for the simonk firmware: https://github.com/sim-/tgy https://github.com/sim-/tgy/downloads Winavr software: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr/ My website: http://eclectic-workshop.weebly.com/

Im trying to flash mine right now but when I click the downloads link it shows an empty folder. Any way they moved it? could I get a copy of the downloadable file somehow?

I have the exact same ESC, I am fairly new to RC plane hobby and I was just wondering when I got my esc it just had little stubbs at the end of it?

But thanks for the info!

OK, But if I have to buy all the programming stuff and sit down for 3 hours and download stuff, and do a learning curve to flash an esc like that one, and make that adapter end, and and and. Wouldn't it be smarter to pay a little more for the esc's and not have to do all that? Especially since I'm only building just one or two Quads, not 50.
Hmmm?

4x $14 Flashed ESCs: $56.
4x$7Escs + $5USBProgrammer = $33 + 5minutes of time.
Seems worth it. -
Thanks!
-
Maybe a stupid question but what happens if you don't flash the ESC's?

Hey Andrew,
