can i use the usb programmer provided here to flash some esc with simonk?

Unfortunately no. Esc's need to have their shrink wrap removed and a special programming tool is needed (it is actually pressed on the microprocessor to program it). There are plenty of videos and online help with this process and the programming tool isn't very expensive. But my advice would be to just buy simonk preprogrammed esc's (for example 30 amp emax with simonk from $15 to $19 US)

I will try it on my yun tonight to know for sure but i believe it will hit the usb. otherwise the pinout and interface will work.

I don't think so. There is no driver to be installed. The only way to change between the two USB is pressing the blue buttons.

Yes. Drivers available here http://prolificusa.com/portfolio/pl2303hx-rev-d-usb-to-serial-bridge-controller/

it will work but it will not function as an 'auto' flash. everything must be done manually.

I haven't hooked up what you have, but I use these control an astronomical telescope and they work great. I replaced a number of other USB/Serial converters that used Prolific chips with these. These use FTDI chips and are much more reliable, at least in the astronomical community.

I bought this thinking the same thing. When I tried to do this, it did not recognize the files that were on the USB. So in my experience it did not work.

I'm sorry: Mark's question is beyond by level of tech-savvy. I'm using my LaCie FDD with my PowerBook G4. It works equally well with our MacBook Pro. I use it too with an G3 and and iMac. Its versatility is marvelous. It accepts my floppy disks, of any vintage, without a blip. But as to its use with esoteric programs, I have no idea.I wish Mark well in his quest.

I tested it with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OY4I8G/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Atech Flash Pro-37U USB 3.0 True SuperSpeed 3.5" Internal / External Flash Memory Card Reader w/ Front USB 3.0 Port. Works fine, but need hi-speed USD Flash or similar device.

I'm pretty sure there is no software. The only thing the USB is for is power.

You might need to download a driver here:http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx

I have only used the CISNO with a flash drive and it worked after the flash was reformatted to FAT32. Using a hard drive might work if you're willing to reformat to the older FAT32. Good Luck.

Yes, the required USB drivers load automatically. Make certain your programming software is compatible with Windows 8.

yep. but need a driver for it. To download it, go to http://www.sabrent.com/downloads.php, which is the manufactorer website. Find NT-USBC (put it in the search bar), select one operating systems that match to you, and install. That is it.

If you install debian PPC and use that as your OS you can because flash can be installed in it. SEE, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/108041/how-to-add-flash-support-on-a-powerpc-debian

YES, totally. Just download your drivers here (http://support.creative.com/downloads/welcome.aspx?nDriverType=1#type_1) , install and attach the device in a free USB port.
