 # Flash SkyRC Swift 10A with BLHeli firmware # 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 !
