Top question on Facebook right now is "Will it show data logs?" Not right now. That will be in a future update. We are still trying to figure out the best way to show that much information on a small screen and have it be useful. To provide a little insight into future plans this is the current Roadmap: V2.0(this version): initial release for Android V2.1: Add ESC firmware updates to the Android App V2.2: Merge iOS and Android apps into 1 code base and add data logs to both apps Work will start on V2.1 soon when we confirm there isn't any major issues with V2.0. Should be a pretty quick release because most of the hard work for it is done in the iOS app, it is just a matter of porting it over to the new code base. |

Any plans to ever support USB OTG or just the special Bluetooth adapter? It would be much more convenient to just use a standard USB cable and OTG adapter for a smartphone for all my castle ESCs than have to buy multiple Bluetooth adapters. Transferring between multiple rigs seems to defeat the purpose of wireless. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk |

Now all you need to do is have stock of your motors and esc's so I can buy the link and try it.... Any updates? |

No plans to support it at the moment, but there is no reason we couldn't add that in a future version once we work through firmware updates and data logging. We've had bad experiences with OTG in the past so we are a little shy about having customers use it with our products. We tried a competitor brand link with an OTG adapter and it managed to fry the phone's usb port. Our best guess is that the BEC back fed voltage into the phone and fried something. Sadly, if we added support for it, it would require a specific usb device for it rather than using our current castle link devices. Our current link uses a very specific driver from our chip manufacture that is only available for desktop operating systems and will not work on mobile devices. We would also want to add quite a bit more protection to the device to prevent what happened to us. | |
