Hey guys I'm a little late to the party here... What exactly is this update going to allow us to do and what's the benefit over the "current process". I have the Vbar classic and the HW Platinum V4.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm trying to update the HW120A v4 running PL-04.0.07 firmware to PL-04.0.07-vbar for neo telemetry and the box showing available versions is blank. Does anyone else know why? I have the latest USB Link (4.0.8) database: 05-28-2020
I updated my HW130A to the latest firmware with vbar telemetry fine, no issue.
HeliSocal had the same problem, wonder if someone here can give a hand
Thanks

I think you run the sotftware while linked to the program box or ESC, and it pulls the file from the web.

Actually, after some investigation, the firmwares are stored in the .db3 file, which is an SQLite database file.

I cannot update my Align 130 using the Hobbywing dongle (this one https://hobbyking.com/en_us/usb-prog...a-60a-esc.html )

While I can alter settings just fine, when I go to firmware, it shows the ESC model and the installed firmware, but there is no option to choose new firmware in the drop down or update it. The old asbox software works as expected as I accidentally re-flashed it when I thought I was updating the database.

Updated my Align branded HW120 esc ( Align RCE-BL100a ),

I've tested it for a couple of packs,
No magic smoke, no issues at all, customized my vcontrol screen, added a battery next to the timer,
mah counter works precisely.

my download update for the asbox wont open the zip files..says it cant open them.. i just wanted to try to update the box.. i did update my align 100 esc to 4.0.0.6 but i dont think thats the latest fw.
it has a mikado ui sensor, so i really dont need the new fw.. was just trying, and as usual, im pc challenged.

1). Double-click the "McAfee" icon in the system tray to open the McAfee control panel.

2.) Click the "Navigation" link in the top-right corner of the McAfee window to view the Navigation Center.

3.) Click the "Real-Time Scanning" link to view the antivirus options.


4.) Click the "Turn off" button to open the Turn Off window.

5.) Select an option in the "When Do You Want to Resume Real-Time Scanning" drop-down box. You can select to resume in 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or resume when you restart your computer. If you select "Never," the virus protection feature will not work until you enable it manually.

6.) Click the "Turn Off" button to turn off the protection. The "Your Computer Is At Risk" warning is immediately displayed, indicating that virus protection is not enabled.

7.) Click the "Done" button and close the McAfee control panel.

uninstall it? I'd just use windows defender tbh. If you're internet savvy then you shouldn't have any issues.

It comes default with windows 10.

Can anyone here tell me the difference between this new update and using the Mikado UI sensor?? I'm using the Hobbywing Platinum 160 and get plenty of info from the UI senor..

Thanks in advance.
