I mean there should be someone able to hack this no? Man we gotta get our grubby hands on that software.

If my spare one didn’t have an internal short i would’ve given it to somebody to try hacking it.

He still ignores one of the ports :laughing:

According to the manufacturer, the JST connector could charge the battery. We recommend charging your battery through the charge port though. The port in the middle is for the power button, and the other two ports on the bottom are for sensor wires.

Thanks,

I like where this is going!

Been a while but did you resolder the antenna?

Both of my hobbywing escs had them on a different spot soldered. Your antenna is also soldered in a different spot.

Naw, i accidentally broke off some SMD components early on like a meathead dumb Dumb and I threw caution to the wind.

This mod is above my pay grade. Happy to cook it some more if y’all need.

Where can I get one of these?? I’m pretty sure I need to replace it on my board because I can’t get it to turn on and my battery still works. Is there anything I can check?
