Jim thank you for this video, I was told I needed a programming cable and there were pins under the heat shrink on the esc to plug it in. I looked at my esc and did not find any pins to plug a programming cable into. And you showed just use the throttle cable coming from the esc and the proper sequence. 👍🏻👍🏻
The instructions that come with the skywalker are easy to follow, so you don’t have to have a card. Also, if you lose your plane and can’t find it, there is a way to get the esc to make noise, aiding with recovery.
Hello Jim, from Wales in the UK I've recently bought a Hobbywing 40amp Skywalker V2 esc - ubec and a Hobbywing Program Card P/N 30501003. It's somewhat different to the one in your video and comes with a few labels to relabel the front depending on the brand of ESC and the application. My problem is the instructions for the Card don't cover the Skywalker range of ESC's, so I'm uncertain which label to use. Can you help?
Hi Colin, while the Hobbywing LED Program Card doesn't say that it will work with the Skywalker ESC, in the Skywalker instructions it does refer to using the LED Program Card. If you don't have those instructions, see www.hobbywing.com/en/uploads/file/20230321/69381b562c41439ee4451c7152905f10.pdf You will need to use the "aircraft" label on the Program Card. Note the requirement to plug in the ESC to the Program Card first, then power up the ESC. Also, the ESC needs to be turned off and on after changing parameters on the Program Card. Let me know how you go with that. Jim
Thanks Jim for taking the time to reply. The problem is that none of the labels supplied are specific to a model aircraft application. One is for a car, another is for a boat and the other two are for a flyfun V5 and a Platinum V1/V2 respectively. I've been in contact with Hobbywing directly in the last few days, so hopefully I get some sense out of them. For the moment, they seem to be saying that the Skywalker series of ESC's are new and the instructions for the program box haven't been updated.
Hi is there a video on how to connect the hobby wing 80amp skywalker v2 aircraft esc with a Hobbywing LED program box? I cant get mine to work no videos at all anywhere?
Thanks for your reply I’ve sent a message to Hobbywing asking for a video on how to connect the skywalker v2 esc to the LED program Box, I also noticed that the new V2 esc has trust reverse wire so I wonder if that wire needs to be plugged into the program box as well. Theses a heap of videos on how to use the program box with the car esc but not the v2 aircraft esc and I can’t get it working

Glad it helped
Great video I’m new to electronics and your instructions got me up and running thank you.
Great to hear! Enjoy your flying!
Hi Jim, thank you for your video. It is very useful to learn the programming on the ESC.
No worries, Tai. Glad you worked out what wasn't working with your new setup!

Thanks for sharing.

The only one I have for Hobbyking Skywalker is this one that you have watched.

I found this video that helps th-cam.com/video/ooPkDbvPxgA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Cmp1O1ua6tSblcmr
Excellent, glad to hear that!
Gibt es sowas auch in deutsch
Ich würde denken, dass sie Programmierkarten mit deutschen Etiketten herstellen würden. Erkundigen Sie sich bei einem deutschen Hobbyfachgeschäft.
👏👏👏
Thanks for the encouragement!
Thank for video. I am from Russia. My English it soo bad. But I am understand all 👌
That's great!
