HW Quikset question
 

Ok,I'm trying to figure this one out and thought I would ask you guys. I have a new HW Quikset 60 amp esc. On to programming it, which precious little is out there. I tried my HW LCD Box, on the fan and the receiver wire, nadda, which works fine on the 150 amp pro. Reading through the manual on the esc, it says use a LED card. Ok purchased a card. Last night messed with it some, I got it to read, sort of, using the three fan pins. BUT, scrolling through the menu, it allows 10 sub menus, but the description on the esc programming manual shows 12 that can be changed. The odd thing is, the values on the card may show as 4 or 5 allowed, but the esc manual shows only 2 or 3 on the same section.
Oddly enough, the seller states that card has another menu face, that can be printed out and used for other esc's. My concern is, I dare not change anything, until I know exactly that the card is altering the proper thing in the esc.

I didn't want to put this in the HW thread due to it being buried quickly. This being one of the newer esc's, does anyone have any ideas :weird:? Thanks

First off, I don't have one of these ESCs, but I have used lots of HW products. I believe you have the correct LED card, as the others are for helicopters and boats I believe. Anyhow, as you say, it is just a label change.

Connect you program card to the esc via the fan port, and according to the manual for the 60A version, there should be 9 items to change (even though the program card shows 12, you ignore the last 3).

I don't like the LED cards because of that very reason of not being able to see exactly what I am changing.

As for there being more sub-menu items, that is a weird one

Thanks Brew, it was a crap shoot trying to figure out which card lol. I think I'm going to wright down the setting as they are now, then go through and try each setting individually. It's a great little esc, just getting it configured like I like, is a little bit of a pain. Especially when I had that nice LCD box lol.

Eta the thing this is throwing me, is the esc shows 4 different things that can be changed on 1 menu item, but the box only shows like 3 or something. I think it will be trial and error on this.
Eta 2
Ok think I figured it out. On different cards, the numbered items may be totally different from each other. On one card, item 2 is Nihm vs Lipo, on another card, it's drag brake settings (1-8). That's what was throwing me lol.
Heres another card settings, compare that to one above
