Manual

Purpose

KKmulticopter Flash Tool is a tool that will easily upload selected rmware to your

KKmulticopter board, ATmega8 based ESC or Smart LCD pro. It is designed to support users

that never have ashed rmware to a micro-controller board. All that is needed is for the

user to select the programmer you're using to ash the board, select board or controller

type, and desired rmware version. You will then have the ability to ash a rmware le

from your PC or directly from the Internet by selecting from a list of latest available

rmware versions. This repository is maintained by me, so if I miss a new version please

contact me.

Also, this the tool can be used to save some of the possible settings you normally do by

using the pots within the PC. (old KK boards only)

The tool will save the settings upon exiting the KKmulticopter Flash Tool. You will not need

to set everything back up upon re-launching the KKMulticopter Flash Tool. This is because

the KKMulticopter Flash Tool saves the settings you selected upon sucessfully ashing your

controller board.

To get more informations on how to ash BL-ESC see also the KKMulticopter Flashtool

manual.

The tool can also create a USB linker from an Arduino, which cn be used to ash bootloader

enabled ESC. How to make a Arduino USB linker.

General requirements

To run the tool you need a normal Windows PC, Mac or Linux PC. When using your

computer it is required to have the latest version of Java installed (at least in version 6). You

have to be careful when you download it, because the Oracle homepage oers you

automatically a download according to the version of the browser that you use. So if you

have a 64 bit OS () you should also use a 64 bit browser to download Java. Firefox and

Chrome are no 64 bit browsers, but IE () 8 and IE9 are 64 bit.

An ISP programmer with correct installed driver.
