How to Update FT Series ESC to V1.6
The firmware for the FT series has been updated to version V1.6. In this version, our engineers have optimized various functions and added new features. For example, we have added configurable parameters like motor_conf and control_conf which can now be saved. Users can save the parameters and flash them onto another new ESC, improving batch production efficiency. For more details, please refer to the "Flipsky ESC Tool V1.6" user manual via the provided link. So, how should you upgrade your FT series ESC to V1.6? This article will use the FT60BD ESC as an example to explain the process.
