Note, If this fails, check to make sure your programmer is properly connected and try again. Switch to the Atmel BESC Setup tab and pick the ArduinoISP (Arduino as ISP Interface) ISP programmer in the dropdown at the bottom along with your COM port and Baud: 19200

Select the ISP interface from the ATMEL/SILABS menu option It will tell you what to do next, just click OK Open the Interfaces for Atmel tab and pick the Nano W/ ATmega328 Arduino Board, your COM port and click 'Make ArduinoISP Programmer'

Since I thought the Nano's ISP header could be used to program the ESC, I had already wired up this 6 pin adapter, so I just jumped it to the right pins on the Arduino, but you could skip this and wire straight from the Arduino to the programmer (ie.

SS on the Nano pinout goes to Reset on the ESC: Notice the blue labels:įor example, physical pin (dark grey in the chart above) 15 (MOSI) should go to MOSI on the ESC. So then I re-wired the ISP header to paint stick to the Arduino's MOSI/MISO/SS(Reset)/SCK/+5V/GND from the Nano's Pinout table. First, the ISP header on the Arduino Nano is for programming the Arduino, not the ESC.

Then I taped this cable to a left over part of a paint stick: I took an old ribbon cable with an 8 pin com adapter, cut it and re-arranged the pins to match the standard ISP header using clear packing tape to hold them in place. With the HobbyKing F20 ESCs, you won't need a special cable that attaches directly to the chip, but you'll need to solder cables onto the pads or build a cable that can attach temporarily to these pads on the F20.
