Difficult to get the driver to work on 64-bit operating systems.
The last reason was the biggest problem. The engineers just couldn't quite get the Castle made driver to work on 64-bit operating systems and it wouldn't work with the Human Interface Device (HID) driver that we currently use on Castle Link adapter.
I understand completely about losing the Castle Link adapters. My desk here at work and my tool box have swallowed up countless adapters over the years. I have started using the Field Programming Card the last few years and love it. I rarely use it to actually program the ESC as a standalone unit. But it's larger than a credit card and bright yellow, so it's a lot harder to misplace.

Makes sense... The CClinks were harder to lose when they had a 10in servo lead on them
I could never justify the programing card, my laptop goes everywhere with me
So when is the MMp^2 coming out? I heard the MMP was out of memory a loooong time ago... And it won't do high timing motors, forcing me to run the 'other' company's esc
The PC connection port on the new white ESCs is nice
A stronger BEC would be nice, something epic, like the CC bec...
