I wonder if it would be any easier and less expensive to use something like a palm device, iPhone, or iTouch...all that would be required is to write an application to "interpret" the Castle Link program and then make an interface cable that goes from the bottom of the smart device to the controller.

If its marketed correctly and given adequate tech support, I would think other programmers and hobbiest would jump on the band wagon and start developing other applications for all sorts of RC hobbies (planes, helis, trains, boats, cars, etc.). Just my two cents...

I am getting a 4s and a 6s lipo soon and i like to set my l.v.c. a little higher then normal. Also I want to be able to change settings from racing to bashing. My main problem is, my computer is a Mac. I don't get access to a windows based PC to often.

I use a mac for all my Castle link programming. the solution I use is VMware fusion with windows XP installed as a virtual machine, but you would need to pay for both pieces of software... I'm not sure if this will take control of USB or not, but a program called darwine lets you run windows apps on a mac without installing a virtual machine or boot camp, and its free!

To my knowledge, a iphone, palm, or other handheld PC can't host USB yet. Can't use Castle link till they can host usb.

Just got my Monster Combo, and it looks like there is a slot cut out to house a programmer in the box.

Simple like the Asian guys are doing will do. Like I said before, those graphic LCDs are cheap and if anyone needs to change the throttle curve it's the only option I see. I don't bother with the throttle curve anyways and would just like to change other settings without the need of a laptop. Any other device such as a iphone or palm will just get too expensive.

Well I just e-mailed support at CC and asked the same question. I'll post up if I get a response.

This is the castle forum.

The last word from Patrick (on this thread) was on 8/22 where he said he hoped to have the card programmer done in Dec. If we keep talking about it, it will come.

It was in the Brushless forum - a mod must have moved it.

I don't think it was moved, this thread was 4 pages long when i posted my reply to it. I also found this thread 3 pages back in this forum

It is okay...Just so long as you don't sit around the house in pee soaked trousers grumbling and griping at people or yelling at the Christmas carolers...or worse yet throwing scalding hot chocolate at them.

Probably not a good idea for you to play dodge ball with the elementary kids either...you might blast them off the court!

I'm fairly certain I admitted to that a few posts ago!!!

Necro post ftw!

Any update on the handheld programmer? Or is the MMpro and new motor line up sucking resources up right now?
