You can buy a credit card size programmer for a few dollars for a lot of Turnigy, Hobbywing etc ESC. I use a lot of Hobbywing ESC's myself and have never had a problem.

Had a look through the spec of the super brain, on the face of things it sounds fine. It will program via a USB port and also read and display your various flight data. The only area they do not elaborate upon is the governor although it has one and I am not sure how good it is. I know from other postings that for instance the Align ESC 's governor is not that brilliant compared to the CC or Scorpion ones.

It doesn't say much, but it does have one. Programmable settings;
Startup (Default Standard/Soft/hard)
Low Voltage cutoff (Default 12.0/15.0/18.0/21.0/24.0/27.0/30.0/33.0/36.0V)
Current limiting (Default Standard/Very sensitive/Insensitivity/Disabled)
Brake (Default None/Soft/Hard)
PWM rate (8/12/16 KHz)
Timing (Default Auto/Low/Middle/High)
Cutoff type (Default Hard/Soft)
Governor mode (Default Auto/Low/High)

Hi guys. The FM has been working OK, but I want to make some adjustments with the PPC card. Problem is that it is different than the software. Under "balancer" it has balance sense, attack angle, total gain, stick gain, CCD gain, and forward free. I don't understand what all of these change. Is the balance sense the same as balance gain, and what is total gain? Also noticed, the PPC acts the same as the software. You have to load saved setting when you plug it in, because I noticed today that my rotation reversed. I loaded a saved config. and all was back where it was.
