Default Programming Castle BEC with new graph software ??

Has anyone used the new castle software 3.78 to program a BEC ? I’m a total loss, it’s not like the drop down box where you just selected the voltage you wanted..

TIA

Mike

Might have to try programming one of my BECs just to see what you're referring to. I haven't had to chance a BEC since upgrading to 3.78.

What BEC is this for? I recall different models have different interfaces.

I need to program a 10 amp BEC tonight so I'll check it out after I update if I haven't already.


EDIT: I still see the same drop down menu with the CC 10 amp BEC and I have 3.78 installed



You might check the BEC's firmware to see if its up to date

Yup... it’s a new lap top didn’t even see the normal icon. But now it won’t recognize the BEC when plugged in. Tried plugging in the battery and nothing. I am trying to figure out the driver

Yeah the castle link itself, it’s super old, probably damn near 8 years or more ?
