Hi all i have a Swordfish Pro 220A-6S esc i have tried to program the esc using the Hifei V2 program box WILL NOT WORK ! I tried using a fellow club member's V2 program box WILL NOT WORK ! How can i set my parameters if program box's will not work ? Regards Andris Golts.

I believe it can be done with the transmitter, but I was never successful trying that myself. I bought the bare circuit board style programmer and was able to make my changes that way.

One thing I noticed with this same ESC. I also couldn't get the program box to show anything but dashes. I found two things actually. Leave your ESC ON/OFF switch to OFF. Connect the program box then the battery. Then turn the switch ON last. Be sure you're connected to the serial port on the box, not the power port.

The other thing is to disconnect your motor. This is mentioned in that horrible programming manual, and there is a picture showing it disconnected. Let us know if it works for you!
