New Mamba software (beta) posted today

Updated to V3.26 and noticed that it doesn't tell you what the motor Kv is anymore. It just says that motor data has been acquired. What gives?

Much better startup and smooth running on the Mamba Max Pro

How do you get the test to work in the first place? No on answered that for me in my last post. I've tried it with my Sidewinder speed control and the data never shows up even with V3.255.

I think that was to cut down on Tech support phone calls from people with four and six pole motors....

Make sure you have actually updated your Sidewinder to the latest firmware version. You must have 1.28 (now 1.29) on your controller to get the torque limit feature. Simply installing the latest software on the computer won't give you the latest firmware and any new features associated with that firmware. If you have updated to the latest firmware, then I'm not sure why you don't have the torque limit setting.

Any truth to the claims that the latest firmware is causing Mamba Pro units to go up in smoke? I know someone that personally had this happen, and read about it happening to others.

I'm very hesitant to upgrade my Mamba Monsters because of this.

Haven't heard anything about Mamba Pro, and I check the boards regularly -- Mamba Max had a glitch where the new software would make the on-board USB stop working -- but that software was fixed right away.

That's it. This newest version stop the "hesitation" that some setups were seeing when using torque limiting.

Thanx!

I have not tryed the torque control yet, But the 3.26 castle link and the v. 1.29 mamba revision is working great on my mamba max.

One question on the torque control, Do you need to hook up a battery to the esc to do the kv check? I'd like to try the torque control but not sure what i need to do to activate it

One more thing, Big shoutout to castle's support. They sent me a castle link at no charge to fix my mamba max after i lost the usb due to the first update in this thread. Due to the support i got, My next esc will be a castle mamba.

Crazy -- yes, you need to hook up a battery so the ESC can do the Kv check. Thanx!

Aww man Patrick, I was enjoying that feature as it was. Is there a way of having a "secret code" to unlock it so that we can look at the motor Kv on the current software version?
