Kosmik 160 and ProgUnit

[c99hris]

After some messing around I finally got the ProgUnit and the kosmik-160 to talk via the USB cable.

The documentation is not correct, see attached popup which needs to be fixed.
There is a hidden button under the shrink wrap of the ProgUnit, same side as the LED's I removed the shrink wrap in order to find as there is no way to know there is a button there. No need to remove the shrink unless there is a reason to locate the button as I have no clue what the button is for.

Here are the steps used to allow me to configure the Kosmik:

Prog-unit 1.0
ESC bootloader 1.3
ESC 4.5



1. Connect the main battery to the kosmik, I used a 6 cell lipo

2. Connect ProgUnit to master port on side of Kosmik with female end using a male to male into master port.

3. Connect one end of usb to ProgUnit

4. Connect usb cable to computer

5. Launch program, KConfig_V_01.01.00

Make changes to ESC and save

I have no idea what the secret button is for on the ProgUnit as it was not needed to get into the ESC to make changes.

Perhaps some one from Kontronik could add some comments and fix the documentation to help others.

On a side note when updating the firmware on the Kosmik the application is in German, this needs to be in English as are the rest of the applications.

Happy Programming
