So this "all clear" button cleared the firmware? Bad software design... Firmware should only be cleared, when updating, after the new firmware is "checked" and right before flashing the new version.

But there is hope, you may be able to reflash the firmware :), if you can find it... :(

A signature is waste of space and memory. So I refuse to have one!

The software will not need any firmware to change settings on an empty esc ;)

The esc will need firmware to run, beep etc.

mine has done the same, tried to flash the firmare upgrade with nothing in the 'new version' field and it doesnt work. Did this upgrade as a formality as the k-force issue a while back made me touchy about getting the newest version. Dont know if it worked prior to doing this, was getting used to the setting up, programming still works as yours does but no beeps. Green light stays on as well as the red one too, dont know if its locked in programming mode? Will try and get some sense from eurgle though their site is a black homepage with an email address on!!!!

Hi
Nope still got it...i've emailed eurgle to see if theres a file they can send so i can rule out the firmware. If they come good, then I'll send it on to you. Seems an awful situation, had to redo the leads, then its dead. No upgrade online even though advertised as such. I think it possibly gets locked in programming mode as the connect light stays on (green) even when just connected to a pack and motor. Possibly trying to upgrade the firmware without anything in the 'new file' boxes may have seen it off. Definitely would be poor software if it lets you flash it with no replacement. I'll keep you posted! Hang on to them for now, til i get an answer, if ever! shoot them an email at 13902239588@139.com what a stupid email address too.

regards

Dave

Hi I have also ordered the Super Brain and reading here are the problems so that you have. I am from Germany and my english is not so good so I do not understand everything you write here. Can you write something once clearly what the problem is and whether there is already a solution??
Thanks
Frank
