you have to connect it to the hobbywing software and go update esc...but you will have to update the program box aswell...i have a sp prostock 2.1 with the latest hobbywing software...:D

Yes, when I got my box (second hand) it had SP software, just loaded latest HW on it and then speedo software.

V3.0_508... Damn I didn't get something right then. Mine still said v1.
I pasted the new files, clicked replace. I then updated the lcd box, then plugged in esc and updated 508. I guess I'll have to try it again.:mad:

hobbywing, can you tell us the guide of the nomenclature used in the names of the firmwares?
I.e, V3.0xxxx is about ...
V2.0xxx is about and the six number after the _ what are telling us.

King regards.

Cool. Thanks

The six numbers are the date.
There is another thread about the different software on this forum

the six numbers after is the date.... V3.0_110930STOCK (latest stock software), is simply that is was ready to go on the 30th Sept 2011.
Bear in mind the Chinese calender works a different way, with the year first, hence year:month:day in the software name.

The VX.X number refers to the family of the software, the major changes in the software are given new versions. The software for each version number are revisions to that software family.

Nothing more than that... look at all the others;

V1.0_090323 (version 1 software, 23/03/2009)
V2.0_100528 (version 2 software, 28/05/2010)
V3.0_110119 (version 3 software, 19/01/2011)

Only one that sticks out is 508 no timing... not sure when that was released!

HiH
Ed

Thx's a lot!
Cheers!

Can anyone verify that has used the new 508 please? My home track is dominated by Tekins. I would love to put HW on the map here but need a little help getting going.

Hi I'm the club member xrayal is talking about. So first up thank you for investigating my problem here.

I'm pretty certain I have solved this now but it has raised a query which may be a flaw in the software. I was directed here by Funky Dunky so I could make the Hobby Wing programmers aware of what I have found and in the hope they may be able to shed some more light on the matter.

Here is the situation. After reversing and coming to a stop when I apply any throttle there is a delay before the car starts again (approx 500-1000ms). I am assuming that this is a feature to stop me going from reverse to forwards quickly and thrashing the drive train. However, I feel, this could be accounted for in the software by allowing throttle to be applied instantly if there has been no changes detected in the hall effect sensors for a given time interval (long enough to assume the car is stationary or moving at such a slow speed it won't break the drive train).

Is this the normal behaviour or am I still experiencing something erroneous?

If any more information would be of use just say the word.

versions of my software that I listed are:
v1-508-zero-rev
110 119 v3.0-mod-
100 528 v2.0-mod
090205mod v1.10
v1-508-no timing
stock 110211 v3.0
stock 110119 v3.0
stock 110108 v3.0
v1.10-090323rd-m
which of these is the most current modified version
Hobbywing_USB_Link_setup_V1.63_110921.rar This I do not appear

There's no need to update the LCD box after replacing the new files. Just copy and paste the 2 files in the directory, and connect your ESC to the computer vis the program box as usual to update your FW.

The most current one for mod is 119. If you have updated the software with the 2 replacement files, then it would be the 930.

I can vouch for this - I have updated two ESC's with the V3.508 software. I didn't test mine under race conditions, but a fellow racer who did posted his best lap time ever and was very happy. Was it just the software? Probably not, but the brakes are better.

I for the life of me cant get the update to work.
Win7 64bit computer.
I uninstalled everything.
I have a brand new blue Jusstock.

I load v1.62 LCD box software off disc. (I see the see the v1.63 on the web, but it's just a RAR file and doesn't do anything.)
I run as admin to update to v1.63
I copy 2 files from unzipped folder I received in email.
Paste them to c/programx84/hobbywingUSB1.63
Click copy/rplace twice.
relaunch software as admin
v1-508 all I have as options

This is driving me nuts......
