    ok everything in device manager works fine and I got the y cable working but I have no swordfish software to open...is that what the disk is for?....I havnt tried the disc because its to small to run in my pc drive
    The disk is whats needed to make everything work, without loading the software there isnt anything to program. I will work on uploading the software online.

              man aint it the truth...theres nothing worse than buying one of the worlds leading esc's (castle) and have it blow up in your face on the first try

              I have high hopes for these 240hv esc's...they are awesome looking and have water cooling and are a very nice size considering how powerfull they are

              my two will get the acid test running each one on 12s2p

                    I had the same problem at first. Each step has to be done exactly.

                    What is the uart to com port number?
                    Does the screen update when you plug in the rx wire to the usb?
                    Is the USB link showing a red light?

                    Check and make sure the com port is not being used by something else. The usb port powers the esc, so make sure you don't have batteries plugged into the esc. Lastly post a picture of the layout so we can see if there is anything else you maybe overlooking.

                      Thats happened to me a few times. You are probably not letting go quick enough. I'm not sure if this could be the case, but try adjusting the throttle trims. Also once the 4th long beep happens dont touch anything until it stops beeping.

                          comm4. Red light is on. Updates when I plug in the usb adapter, and when I plug the rx wire harness into the usb adapter. Turn on the switch, select comm port 4 and open, then hit connect. no connection still.

                                Do you have to do this proceedure every time you power up?..it seems that way or else it keeps on beeping into different tones
