Default Hobbywing ESC XERUN V3.1 - Software update

Hi All

I want to update the software on my Hobbywing ESC.

My understanding is that I need to download the USB Hub Software but I cannot find a MAC version, does this exist, if not what are my options?

I can see you can download and app to my iPhone but then I need a £40 wifi module to connect the phone to the ESC

As always you help is appreciated.

Lee

No Mac version as far as I'm aware. So your options are either Windows on your Mac, the WiFi module for your phone, or leave the speedo alone!!

Honestly, I'd be tempted by option 3!

Considering the options I think you may be right, cheers Matt

Or remind me and I'll bring my laptop with me when I pop round.

Have you got the HW USB link for it? I've already got the software installed, was messing around with some other unbranded ESCs.

Treat your self to the wifi module, easy to use and can update refresh from your phone

Hi Yorkie, do you mean Programme Box, yes I have one of those or the web link to download the USB software?

Hi Mark
Does the Wifi module also enable you to change the setting on your phone like the programme box as well as update the software?

No, I have the software - I meant the USB link - looks like it's just a plain USB cable to the LCD progbox then to car. I have a Hobbywing USB-ESC direct cable, looks like it won't be needed.
