Did you manage to have a crack at programming your ESCs Adam? If so, how'd it go? I have a feeling we might've talked about it at Wales but my memory's terrible.

And apologies in general for the thread bump, but any chance this can be made a Sticky thread please? The stuff in the first post in particular is pretty useful but I always forget where this thread is when I need to look it up and it gradually works its way down the topic pages.

make sure u r windows 7 or below it does not like the windows 8

also if you are stuck get it to johnno and he will get them to me for you to program (only if you have the tool) as I have one here which does not work with soldering may work with the push on programmer ) do you have one of them ?

The USB wire that comes with the pololu programmer is cr@p so I'd suggest getting a better version. The one I've used is from a digital camera. I've had no issues using the programmer on windows 8 either. Just makes sure you read the pololu website on the info on the drivers etc then install avr studio 4 after

provided cable has 6 cores the chip cable has 10

yeah just brought that push on cable and it has a 10 pin connector the pololu programmer has a 6 pin and the programmer which goes with the cable is out of stock now its just a case of cutting 10 wires and matching them up ?
has any one done this ?
thanks in advance

that's not the cable that's a problem in my experience. The one that comes with the programmer is fine. Is the cable which goes between the computer and the programmer which needs replacing. I THINK its a usb to micro-usb
