KO Propo Help please

I currently have the following items (Helios radio, Hara Twister 2.0, KO PDS 2363 SERVO) and someone said that all the settings could be done from a PC ... however I don't know what I need to buy to connect them? Is there one adaptor that can connect all these items to a PC and play with the settings?

Any help appreciated!!!!!

Thanks for that but there seems to be 2 differnet items and I don't know if I need them both.
61012 KO Propo PC Interface for ICS Servo VFS 1, 2, J
61003 KO Propo ICS Communication adaptor for EX10 Helios

Do I need to buy both these items? Has anyone used any of this?

acutts... Robert will jump on here and help you out. but if you want to do your VFS..and your servo (im assuming its the ICS version) the handheld adapter will work you will just need the appropriate "card" for each one. this allows the handheld adapter to be used for the servo or esc by plugging in the proper card.

you can find more info here: http://www.kopropo.com/ICS.htm

i believe you will need a different interface for each one (servo, esc, radio), meaning you need both items above robert, correct me if im wrong on that one

yup you can definitely do that. just download all the software and get all the interface cables.

acutts-
To program everything with the PC you will need the ICS Value Set #61001. This includes the PC interface and the adapter for the EX-10 Helios. I beleive the current programs that are offered with this value set are the Helios, servos and VFS-2000. You can download the VFS-1 program for free from our website. This will allow you to program the radio, servos and esc.

I use nearly the same equipment and tested both, the handheld and the PC version. I found programming on the PC much more usefull. You can store as many setups as you've got space on your HD. The programmer only allows 3 setups and you can't use it with your helios.

There is more to the cable then just the pin configuration. There are several electronic parts when you open the plug that's connected to the PC
