On the command line type:

avrasm2 -fI tgy.asm

Done, you should now have tgy.hex in the same folder.

Now connect up your programmer to your ESC and computer. The programmer supplies power to

the ESC during programming so there is no need to provide power or have it plugged into a

reciever.

WARNING this next step will completely erase the HK firmware if you have a programming card it

will no longer work and you cannot go back.

avrdude -c usbasp -p m8 -U flash:w:tgy.hex

If all goes well avrdude should do its thing. As long as you get the message AVRDude Successful

you are done. Don't worry about any SCK errors if you see them.

Screen shots coming when I re-flash one. :)

If you are doing any variation on what I have described above, ie a different ESC, it might be a safe

bet to do your first tests with a current limited supply or a 9V battery.

More information and help can be found on this gigantic rcgroups thread.

Happy flashing.
