SimonK Firmware for ESC

The two ESC's I listed in the previous posts are compatible with a custom firmware called SimonK. The firmware makes the ESC's perform a lot better. This involves using a programmer called USBasp (link in previous post) and a flashing tool called "KKMulticopter Flashtool." There are many tutorials online for this. You can refer to this speedsheet to check for compatible ESC and which firmware version to use:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhR02IDNb7_MdEhfVjk3MkRHVzhKdjU1YzdBQkZZRlE#gid=0

Here is a good starting point:  http://oddcopter.com/2012/04/03/flashing-my-escs-with-simonk-code/
