I sent it to you but it was rejected by your server.
I will try to zip the file and send it again. Let me know if you dont get it in an hour.

powerup sequence and wiring video for the Swordfish 240hv.

Steven, this video tutorial you made was great!
You should have one done to each ESC you carry and to whatever needs a tutorial
under your "tips" section.

Great stuff...

actually you do not have to wait until the end of those beeps - just hold throttle until it starts beeping :-)
At the end you'll hear the number of cells detected

se page 3 for more details

One important info: throttle range sometimes needs to be calibrated after changing ESC's settings.

By the way - the fast startup mode is awesome especially for competition.

Thanks for the info. I fixed your link so it points to the actual products instructions.

ok got the software installed and when I have device manager open and see the uart bridge controller it says i'm on com6

and the software only has com1 com2 com3 com4 ...there is no com6 in the software

any fix?

[Mieciu]

try com3 :-)

I had almost the same problem.... so I tested each port.
Procedure is simple: choose other ports and hit "open" button (and wait for green light)
In my case only com3 was ok (even if it's not shown in device manager)
hope it helps

ok I tried that mie but it wouldnt work for me......BUT I found the fix...just right click on the uart bridge controller in device manager and choose properties then the port settings tab then advanced and it allows you to change the port com settings...I only had com2 the was available and it worked

Yes you can change the port on your pc, just make sure its not conflicting with something else trying to use the same port.
