HobbyEagle A3 Configurator Firmware User Guide
USB Connection
Use only the USB adapter and the black data cable included with our product to connect the gyro to the PC or the programming card. The cable is special-made and different from those common USB data products available in the market.- If you are going to upgrade the program card (X), DO NOT connect it to the cable yet.
Connect the data cable to the USB adapter and the DATA port of the gyro with the other end (The figure below is only an example for A3 Super 3). Plug the adapter into the USB port of the PC. The gyro will power up and start initialization.
