Default Castle field programmer - can it set Bec by itself?

As per title, if I purchased one of these could I set the voltage on my cc Bec without a computer? From what i can see the aeronautical option will but the car one won't...

I am on a Mac not a paranoid PC

Thanks

I have tried with the field prog card with no luck, but it would be great if someone could prove me wrong.
Field card would be much better than carrying an eeepc ;)

That is a bummer that you need a PC, because I also struggle with this issue being a Mac user. Castle needs to step up their game and write a Mac application.

Um, do I need a puter to change the settings in a trail master BLE pro? Cause its my first holmeshobbies/castle ecs.

I'm used to tekin products and how the RX8 G2 is 90% programmable without a computer.

With the Castle Field Link you can change LiPo cutoff, drag brake and strength, punch control, reverse type, motor type and motor CHEAT. Everything else need the Castle Link and computer.

I sure hope they make an app for this!

The field programmer will do that job (USB-converter) just fine. An USB-A to mini-USB cable is all it takes to hook it to a computer.
