Oki doki let me know what mods u do to urs and what the hex file is :)
Edit1 those are the videos i seen but im guessing you only need to solder the join across the switch at the end.
Oh and snip off the 3rd motor wire if u flash the chip using the piggy back connector?
Yeah, if you're using the connector, you don't really need to modify any hardware - you can bridge the switch for convenience and robustness, and snip off the third wire if you want, but I'd only do that when you've checked everything's working. Now I still haven't done the brushed hack yet, but this is the hex file I'll be using. I'll tell you how it turns out.
Brushless hack worked like a charm! Many thanks to the guys at BotBitz for making the software available, and Danjr1 for modifying it for use with the DX6i's mixing.

Looking good. Quick question. Thats for the dx6i control. Is there a library for controllers?
Depends on brand and even on reciever .
It's all about the data transfer from the reciever to the servo or ESC.
Spectrum is known for the small width of the signal used.
Electronics are almost done, finally received all my HDPE, and got me a jigsaw today. I've read up a bit on cutting HDPE, and apparently it's best to spray it with water as you're cutting, to stop it melting. Does anyone have any other tips or suggestions on cutting 20mm HDPE before I start?
we cut hdpe on machines using high speed steel cutters and also carbide cutters so we just blitz it, but i reckon that you should go with a coarse blade run slow rather than a fine blade run fast. dont let the blade dwell too long on the cut or it will heat up and blunt too quickly.
as for water, be wary when using electric tools ....
i'm sure others who've manually worked hdpe will chip in also :)
Yeah, I had a quick go just now at cutting one of the side panels (I have more HDPE than I need thanks to the standard sizes sold) and I didn't really see any sign of melting. I'll have to practice at cutting straighter, but I don't think I need the water here.
If you use any kind of coolant/cutting oil for HDPE, life will be easier.
It's only annoying if you want to weld it after the cutting. Then you'll have to get rid of any residue. Aceton is one of the better cleaners for this purpose.
I successfully cut 20mm HDPE with a standard coarse wood cutting blade in my circular saw
Just be wary of HDPE swarf - gets everywhere
