====== HobbyKing Brushless ESC Flashing Guide ======

===== How & Why =====

===== What you need =====

===== Attaching programming cables =====

===== Preparing software to flash =====

==== Windows ====

Make sure when you use Zadig to give it a libUSB variant driver, otherwise the program will not recognize the flasher.

=== Troubleshooting ===

https://lazyzero.de/en/modellbau/kkmulticopterflashtool/faq#programmer

==== macOS ====

Run the app in 32-bit mode (Right-click app, 'Get Info', option is 1/4 way down)

Here's the quote from the Brushless Hipsters FB Group/Github Pull Request via Kyle Singer:

"Sorry this took so long but I've been busy. Here is my original post in the brushless hipsters about it. Check your pins they should match this


Newer even bluer 70a red brick. Traces look the same as the old one from what I can tell. Different serial number is a concern. Thoughts?

**EDIT**
ok so after being carefully guided by Mr. Kelly we have a new file for the newest bluest board. It's really the 70a2 with one tiny change but it matters. If someone wants to put this on gethub for the masses that would be awesome. I'm also updating the board picture to include both sides in case someone wants to add it to the spreadsheet."
