Turnigy tz85a from BotBitz

[Bodge Job]

its probably just windows 8. its a real stupid OS, really annoying sometimes. would be useful if Microsoft made two different OSs for different users (advanced and a simpler one) so you can do what you want to do with out the limits and restrictions of the simplified windows 8.

Shakesc would you mind talking me through exactly what HK software you've used please?

Thanks to everyone for their help

Hi

I used a windows 7 machine. My other machine is Mac. Might try that at some stage , I believe KK s/w is just a Java app

Downloaded the KK multicopter flash programming software, see

http://lazyzero.de/en/modellbau/kkmulticopterflashtool

The USBAsp drivers can be a little fuzzy to install. If they are an issue then have a look at
http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/

and for just the drivers

I also did what Dan said and used a plug for the gnd wire
Just saves some soldering

[Dan-27]

Done it! Thanks for the help everyone. It's not the most user friendly piece of software but the KK multicopter worked a treat.

Now I just need some cable to handle the amps, nearly set the fire alarm off today burning through some T&E.

What's wrong with the cable on the turnigy 85a controllers? Should be more than up to the job for some drills etc

[PJ-27]

We're using something slightly larger than drill motors and very Bitza. Although I was surprised that it ate any cable!

[typhoon_driver]

Those wires should be plenty big enough. If those go up I'd be more worried about the rest of the esc going up first.

[Dan-27]

The wires on the ESC were fine, it's the rest of the loom that was showing the strain.

Ah right I understand what you guys mean now
