5. SimonK firmware A Exploration This is the common interest of RC model enthusiasts If you want to know about the principles and hardware structure of the ESC you can start by flashing SimonK firmware which will allow you to learn the MCU download process B Pursuit of changes When you are tired of one ESC personality you can update it by flashing SimonkK firmware C When troubles come out When your ESC cannot power up your new motors but your companions can You need to implement Simonk firmware to your ESC Simonk firmware has excellent compatibility It can start almost every motor except for damaged ones 4 How to flash Simonk firmware Maybe you once downloaded firmware to the micro controller in your college laboratory But that does not mean you can flash SimonK firmware into ESC s MCU First please ensure that your ESC support SimonK firmware Second pls meet following requirements A Hex or Bin file The firmware for the ESCs is available in a hex or bin file One file contains the complete firmware for one ESC B Interface Software eg AVR Studio Depending on your platform you will need dedicated interface software installed on your computer to flash your ESC with the new firmware C MCU programmer eg JTAG or USB ASP D PIN header or micro clips to connect programmer to MCU Then you can flash the ESC with the video and other information on internet Note You can flash your ESC multiple times

8. but only the last flashed firmware is active on the micro controller If the wrong firmware is flashed you may end up with a damaged ESC when it s powered by the battery supply It s important to safely test your ESC after the firmware upgrade 5 How to get Pre flashed ESCs with Simonk firmware Flashing your own ESCs is not so easy as you download music to your iPhones It takes time a flash tool and some research For modelers who do not have any knowledge about MCU the flashing process is difficult Or some model flyers just need their models fly well and do not care about flashes If you are in one of them you can choose Red Pawz already flashed ESC 6 Install your ESCs We believe it is easy for you to install ESCs to multirotor platform We still kindly remind you to make sure the correct and solid connection of each connector to silicon wire battery wire to power distribution board power distribution board to ESC ESC to motor 7 SimonK firmware ESC start up tones All ESCs make the motors sing so does Simonk firmware ESC When connected to power you need firstly unlock the flight controller Then ESCs make 3 beeps di da di to tell you self detection finished If flight controller also makes control instructions a long beep di will tell you ESCs have received throttle signal from flight controller and ready to start Then pull up the throttle stick motor starts to run OK Let s go 8 How to do throttle calibration Normally
