HK 10A UBec ESC Flashing Tool

This is a flashing adapter for the HK 10amp UBec ESC.

This will give you a clothes pin style clip to make contact with the contacts on the board.

I am not going to go into details on flashing the ESC as there are already numerous sites already out there about that.

For the pinouts of the HK 10a UBec ESC see the attached picture.

For the pins I just pulled some pins out of some pin headers (see picture) you can get them from hobbyking, amazon, or a million other places, they are extremely common.

Please excuse the difference in picture backgrounds, my towel was stolen by my wife and I already have the ESCs mounted on the quad so couldn't get another picture.

BTW NO you do not need to remove the wires to flash, I was completely rebuilding my quad so I removed all the old wires to start the new build.

Tip: to make the contacts make contact since they are not spring loaded after filing them flat and getting them close take some sandpaper and something thin and flat (I used a blank piece of circuit board) to hold the pins at the right height and to make it easier to pull the sand paper then gently pull the sandpaper out a few times, I used wet/dry paper which is black so when I saw 6 evenly colored copper lines on the sandpaper I knew it was nice and flat.

Warning: the pinout for the 10a is very different than the 20a/30a from hobbyking, pay attention to your wiring.

Disclaimer:

Flashing ESCs pretty much void your warranty, and once flashed you cannot get the original firmware back.

I am not responsible for anything you do with this or if you let out the magic smoke.

That said BelHeli is frigging awesome for quads, better than SimonK in my opinion, so far I have swapped all my quads to BelHeli
