 # Flash SkyRC Swift 10A with BLHeli firmware
+## Hardware
+* Arduino MEGA (better), or  Cheap USBAsp from eBay
+* Soldering iron
+* Enameled Copper wire, diam 0.2mm
+* Solder
+* 3 Pin female header pitch 2.54mm
+* Large heatshrink tube. I used diam 24mm.
+## Steps
+### Hardware 1
+* Remove the plastic of the ESC
+* Glue the header onto the regulator (next to the cap). Try to have it flush the edge so you can keep it accessible for later.
+* Solder the wires from the test points to the header
+* Connect the header to the arduino mega
+* Power the ESC
+### Software
+It's a little bit complicated for two reasons: I first used owSilProg before I discovered BlHeliSuite and I couldn't flash a new ESC directly with BlHeliSuite. But it worked, on ten ESC.
+* Get owsilprog
+* Use the AVRBurn tool to flash the firmware onto the arduino mega
+* Use owSilProg to flash the ESC with BlHeli. Select HK10A MULTI.
+* Flash all your ESC
+* Get BlHeliSuite
+* Use the AVRBurn tool to flash the BLHeliSuite programmer firmware (use the PB2PB3 or MULTI one (I think))
+* Reflash the ESC with the most recent BlHeli firmware
+### Hardware 2
+* Cut a length of heatshrink tube so the ESC fits in.  Have 3mm on both sides of the board.
+* Heat in place
+* Fly the damn uav !
