Cheers dude. I wouldnt worry about the clever stuff like throttle curves and such, just the basics like... the basics really. :yes:

any plans to make a castlelink for windows mobile devices?
most phones have a usb-mini plug
that would be huge.

Unfortunately, most PDAs and phones are slave only devices -- they can't host USB.

Like what you can do with the Tx for example?

Patrick, Just a thought but given what Castle has been able to do with updating the software - i.e. governor modes on the air controllers and all of the numerous enhancements on the car controllers will overalys work.

I was thinking of something with a simple screen like a hyperion charger through which you could scroll and set up the options.

The controller itself could then be flashable as your software develops - I know it would add to the cost but would make it more future prrof.

History shows you do like to add new features!

ah, makes sense.:oops:

thanks for the reply. :yes:

Any progress on the programmer? I know you guys have been busy with the MMM & Motor but I was wondering if there is any news.

Whats wrong with the 'basic' programming you can do with the transmitter? I still don't get it...

If you go driving and wants to change your settings, are you able to remember all of them by heart? Plus how long will it take you to go through the programming. I'm going to use my ESC as an example (Keep in mind I'm not bashing Castle as I do own a few Castle products), I can program what ever setting I need very fast even if I have to plug the red wire back. I have mentioned a type of program box before and Hobbywing actually did it as I mentioned to them as well. A program box will be very helpful when you need fast programming and it can have basically all the features the PC programming can have. Use a nice little graphic display if you need to change the throttle features and that's one thing I didn't tell Hobbywing :lol:, but it's now in the open.

it would be great if i could program my stuff from my blackberry

I think the little PDA-like programmer would be nice, if it played music it would be great. But, the most i'd do in the field, would be the punch, brakes or battery cut-off. So a card would be right for me. I do all of my curves and testing in my front yard, very close to my computer

Portable Programmer Solution: buy an eee-pc from asus and install XP

What I would dig is Linux software from CC so I could buy an eee-pc from asus and NOT install XP :neutral:

So you carry around the manual instead of a programming card.. and it takes about 30s to go through programming, not the end of the world. AND, once you've done it about 5 times it is imprinted on your brain, so you won't even need the manual.

I mean yeah, don't get me wrong, a programming box would be sweet as. Just saying that for doing the basics in the field, well we can already do that.

BUMP, Patrick, you guys still working on this?

It takes me a few seconds to change the settings I need and it takes you a few seconds just to get into program mode. Lets say you are in a race and you have to change a setting, would you rather spend precious seconds with a nice program card or just trying to get your ESC into program mode? It could take a minute or 2 for you to get through all the programming not 30 seconds. I hope Patrick does offer a program box and you'll buy one. If it does come out, I'll be waiting for you to post something nice about it here. Also, all the features found in the PC programming can be implemented in the program box. Nice graphic LCDs are cheap.
