New MMM field programming cards

Sorry, I didn't see that it was to be used with a PC. The USB from the PC will power the card and the ESC, but if the red wire is removed, power won't reach the ESC. So, you will have to hook up a battery pack to the ESC.

So why wouldn't you just plug directly into the usb port on the mm instead of using the card?

Well, you can. But the MM is the only controller with a USB port - -for any other controller, you would need either the programming card, or a USB adapter to program with a PC.

The idea of the card is that it allows programming with a PC on ANY controller, and quick programming at the field without a PC.
