From March 2016 on all sirvoes will be shipped with the following program installed. This program will allow you to set any of the 6 sirvoe operating modes easily using your radio and receiver. By default sirvoe operates in the shared elevation/gun mode for the control of an elevation sirvoe. To change to any of the other modes you can use the program editor and a PC or the easy method below using your radio and receiver.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are wanting a Sirvoe to provide the recoil function on Asp and ask for that in the shop then you will have sirvoe set to that function. You will not be able to re-program using this method. You WILL be able to re-program using the program editor and connection to a PC.

Hi Sid Very easy if you have an FTDI breakout or RCTA programming board. This method is the same as all other RCTA boards so you will need to know how to do it for Asp in general Step 1. Download and install the programmer app. http://www.picaxe.com/Software/Drivers/ ... ammer-App/Step 2. Get yourself a programmer and make a connection cable. Details are in the "How to update Asp" topic. However, I no longer suggest getting a cheap unit from eBay as they usually have counterfeit chips. I can make up programmer but they would include the real deal chips and as such will be over $15. I don't have the PCBs printed for this yet. All my new boards from 2016 now have a JST-ZH plug for the programmer but sirvoe does not. Step 3. Download the full sirvoe program here SirvoeV7.zip Use the app to re-program Sirvoe then the radio method above to edit. What I can do is send you down a programmer and a cable with your new order. You can use these to program your existing Sirvoe boards and then send the programmer back when done (unfortunately I do not have enough programmers) Cheers Kevin G

don't worry about the programmer, I am in the process of making one with the help of your videos.
I got a board from jaycar!!!!
the sirvoe boards I have at the moment will be used for recoil anyway, so no need to muck around with them.
I have ordered 4 more to use for different things anyway , will program those with the method shown in this post.
Thankyou very much for the offer!!!

Cool I did not know that they were at Jaycar. I've been there today and yesterday getting some of those aluminium project boxes for the smoke unit mod. Cheers KG EDIT: For Aussies here is the Jaycar link - the price is a bit high I suspect a 100% markup by Jaycar http://www.jaycar.com.au/Kits,-Science- ... o/p/XC4594

That one is in fact betterer  Aussies get this: http://www.jaycar.com.au/Kits,-Science- ... e/p/XC4464The cable I have sent you has ends that will match it correctly. It is white, black, grey (yeah nice contrast in colour hey?) Black is ground V0, up to you what you want to use as TX and RX. Don't forget to use the FT-Prog utility to invert the TX and RX lines and program this to the FTDI chip. Then just stick it in RX line goes to hole on the right. Doesn't matter if you stick it in the wrong way round or in the wrong hole. Sirvoe won't squeal or anything like that. You just get a message like device not found - so turn around and try again. Cheers KG

How to load the full Sirvoe Program onto your sirvoe board using the Picaxe programming app and your FTDI interface.
Remember you have to have sirvoe powered up.
This process is the same for any updates for all RCTA boards excluding the RC5HL
Cheers

PS. I do make a lot of mistakes in the narration of these vids. Don't worry too much about the RX or TX as the RX of the FTDI is the TX of whatever you are programming so it is always confusing. So to avoid confusion I try to have the input of the board being programmed as white or yellow and I try to keep it on the right hand side.
