Thank you. my buddy and I have been messing around with the flasher and been having connectivity issues. this video will help out a lot, so, thanks Wheels
you can do this through cleanflight if you are using betaflight! I didn`t flash my esc as they came with the latest firmware but I was able to change the settings, damped light, motor to high ect pretty handy
Hi Richard, Thankyou very much for the tutorial found this at the right time, Could you please tell me would this same procedure that you performed work on a ZTW spider esc. Thankyou.
My Chinesium ESC doesn't get recognized from neither of the bootloader, what can I do? I figured out that it needs a TGY.hex. But I can't upload it through the BSC because the Chinesium one doesn't allow me to. Could you show a way where I can flash the chip directly whist the 6 ISP pins on the ESC PC? It has an Atmega 8 chips and the other ESC has a NOVOTON MS51FB9AE chip
great info sir. iam a beginner to quads i am building my first 250size.i purchased the afro 30a race spec esc's and iam having problems connecting them to my pc via the afro usb programming link any help would be much appreciated
so i accidently flashed my escs with a-h-25 firmware instead of a-h-15 and now it wont flash back only to other versions of the a-h-25 , also my escs only get detected on the chrome addon of blheli but blheli suite doesnt detect escs. any idea of what i can do? i really dont want to have to buy new escs.
My emax simonk esc are not connecting during the stage where you plug in power. Any ideas? Pretty sure I got the com port set right and flashed the arduino with the simonk bootloader like in your video..
That makes sense then as I've since had someone else say I may need to remove the skrink wrap and attach wires to some points on the esc to flash it. I think I am going to leave it for now and in the future upgrade the escs. Thanks for your comment
I have flashed 10 out of 12 afro esc with the afro usb flash tool but 2 of them had an error that said to use a 6 pin asp connection. I had no success with that. Will this method work instead?
Hi ThatHPI. I've try to connect in Afro ESC using Simonk USB Link but didn't connect. I've received this message: stk500v2 connection to Esc failed. CMD_SIGN_ON:READ -> Timeout no answer. My setup is: Arduino Uno + Afro Esc 30a with afro_nfet.hex Could you help me? Thanks!
Hey great video, it looks as tho BLHeli has updated to 14.2.0.1 and I can't get it to download... It also says that it has 0 downloads so apparently there's problems with it, any way to get the version you use in your video? Thanks for the help.
i have a problem. when i try to connect the arduino to the esc e dont stop to say "please connect ESC and power up(cycle power)" . can someone help me please?
thanks hpi guy i just flashed some rhd no name 12 amp escs and blheli is far better than simonk.. why well simon k at full throttle just before you reach full throttle it jumps from 80 -100 and skips to full ou can feel it on the bench using a servo tester.. now it goes straight smooth 0-100 smooth like... also starts faster and smoother from 0 where simonk took 10% throttle and jumped into power where bl heli slowly goes from 0% to what ever you input.. so im super happy... i mean these rdh esc are these www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11429__HobbyKing_12A_BlueSeries_Brushless_Speed_Controller.html so use the 12 amp blue series if anyone has these chinese rip offs they took the hobbyking ones then slapped some rhd sticker on them you cant find any info i took a risk and voilia it works perfect... you an tell its the same one hk sells just rebranded... so use that firmware descrpition... anyway im gunna do my 12 amp afro ones next... simonk sucks i mean it was the best out there a long time ago but blheli is so much smoother
Thank you. my buddy and I have been messing around with the flasher and been having connectivity issues. this video will help out a lot, so, thanks Wheels
Thanks great video, just flashed my afro esc's this morning, all went well following your instructions
Very good video, spent hours researching til i found this. Thank you very much.
you can do this through cleanflight if you are using betaflight!
I didn`t flash my esc as they came with the latest firmware but I was able to change the settings, damped light, motor to high ect
pretty handy
Nice video Richard :) Enjoyed the CoD as well!
Yay, new video! Love them
Great help Richard , Arduino nano it is ..
Hey there! Firstly great videos, very helpfull to us newbies!! Would this work with emax 12a? I would like to put blheli on them!! Happy flying!!
Hi Richard,
Thankyou very much for the tutorial found this at the right time, Could you please tell me would this same procedure that you performed work on a ZTW spider esc.
Thankyou.
Thanks for your video, from Chile - Southamerica !
Very nice and concise tutorial!

Great video. Thank you. How do I deal with an esc that says "unknown or erased firmware?" Do I use the same procedure? Thanks you.
great info sir. iam a beginner to quads i am building my first 250size.i purchased the afro 30a race spec esc's and iam having problems connecting them to my pc via the afro usb programming link any help would be much appreciated
Nice job :)
Why not using simonK firmware with COMP_PWM enabled since it is the equivalent of oneshot?
Have a great sunday
Because I do things the hard way hahah
Need the Bootloarder Video ... for some odd reason I managed to corrupted the FW on 2 New ESCs now they BLheli sweet doesn't See the ESC ...
Quick question, If you have a corrupt bootloader will you be able to use this method to flash and fix the bootloader?
i have HAKRC_32bit 35A, but the chip is AT32F421K8U7, is there posible to flash it to am32?
hello with your method that changes the bootloader blheli?
i have afro 12a simonk.
so i accidently flashed my escs with a-h-25 firmware instead of a-h-15 and now it wont flash back only to other versions of the a-h-25 , also my escs only get detected on the chrome addon of blheli but blheli suite doesnt detect escs. any idea of what i can do? i really dont want to have to buy new escs.
Hello, I have a DYS30A esc with ATMEL processor and I cannot find the firmware when updating it, there is only for 20A. It has a solution?
Hi, quick question, will this affect or change anything in the arduino board?
does this work with any ebay/chinese no-brand esc?
cant i do this threw fc anyway? tbh whats the best simonk or blheli right now. I just want reliability.
Thank you man
My emax simonk esc are not connecting during the stage where you plug in power. Any ideas? Pretty sure I got the com port set right and flashed the arduino with the simonk bootloader like in your video..
+Wade Taylor I had same issue with my emax 12a blheli esc's, and I've read that they doesn't support configuration by the signal cable.
That makes sense then as I've since had someone else say I may need to remove the skrink wrap and attach wires to some points on the esc to flash it. I think I am going to leave it for now and in the future upgrade the escs. Thanks for your comment
hey can we flash emax simonk 12a ? with this process
When trying to flash on mine it says stk500 getsync Not in sync Avrdude Failed
I have flashed 10 out of 12 afro esc with the afro usb flash tool but 2 of them had an error that said to use a 6 pin asp connection. I had no success with that. Will this method work instead?
I can't say for sure, but for the price it's worth a try
super helpful, thanks
does it have to be a nano? I have an uno
Hi ThatHPI. I've try to connect in Afro ESC using Simonk USB Link but didn't connect. I've received this message: stk500v2 connection to Esc failed. CMD_SIGN_ON:READ -> Timeout no answer.
My setup is: Arduino Uno + Afro Esc 30a with afro_nfet.hex
Could you help me? Thanks!
+Rafael Pereira I also have the same problem with you. Have you solved it?
Hey great video, it looks as tho BLHeli has updated to 14.2.0.1 and I can't get it to download... It also says that it has 0 downloads so apparently there's problems with it, any way to get the version you use in your video? Thanks for the help.
Update, it finally downloaded it just took forever...
i have a problem. when i try to connect the arduino to the esc e dont stop to say "please connect ESC and power up(cycle power)"
. can someone help me please?
No. I just boght naza floght controler and new esc
D3 didin't work for arduino uno, i used D11
to add the pin is not d3 guys i had to use d2 digital 2 pin it woulndt real when the hpi guy said pin 3.. switched to 2 and it worked...
how to do it with a mac? i don't have a windows pc. thanks
haha mac...
buy old cheap PC laptop. . .
thanks hpi guy i just flashed some rhd no name 12 amp escs and blheli is far better than simonk.. why well simon k at full throttle just before you reach full throttle it jumps from 80 -100 and skips to full ou can feel it on the bench using a servo tester.. now it goes straight smooth 0-100 smooth like... also starts faster and smoother from 0 where simonk took 10% throttle and jumped into power where bl heli slowly goes from 0% to what ever you input.. so im super happy...
i mean these rdh esc are these www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11429__HobbyKing_12A_BlueSeries_Brushless_Speed_Controller.html
so use the 12 amp blue series if anyone has these chinese rip offs they took the hobbyking ones then slapped some rhd sticker on them you cant find any info i took a risk and voilia it works perfect... you an tell its the same one hk sells just rebranded... so use that firmware descrpition...
anyway im gunna do my 12 amp afro ones next... simonk sucks i mean it was the best out there a long time ago but blheli is so much smoother
