Hey guys --

For the MMM adjustable BEC -- the hardware for adjustable BEC has been in the V5 hardware from the beginning, but we just now added the capability to change the program settings in the Castle Link app.

V4 and earlier hardware doesn't have the ability to change the BEC voltage, and will not show as an option.

Thanx!

Patrick

Interesting I say. I got my MMM two years ago (in an brushless emaxx).
I was pretty sure i had V3 but CL does show this option. When was the V5 released?

Hmmmm -- well, then lemme check.

I thought we release V5 about a year ago, maybe it was longer!

Or maybe there's a bug in the software.... does it actually change the output voltage of the BEC on your ESC??

Thanx!

OK --

I had to run down some ECO history.

It was actually V4 that had the hardware change for the adjustable BEC.

And yes, if you have adjustable BEC it will show up -- otherwise there isn't any option to change the BEC voltage.

/whew

I was thinking there might be an issue where it showed the BEC as adjustable, but didn't actually do anything.

We started building V4 about 30 months ago, and V5 about a year ago.
