OTA Programmer is a module which adopted the Bluetooth communication
technology for transferring data between an ESC and a smart device (Android
phone, tablet, and etc). It makes the wireless communication between ESC and
smart device possible; user can easily program and upgrade ESC, and monitor
data transferring via this unit.
• Working Voltage: 5V-12.6V.
• Supported Bluetooh Version : ≥ 4.0
• Effective Range: 0-3m (Open Field).
• Size: 30.0x25.5x8.5mm (LxWxH).
• Weight: 10.2g.
LED turns on solid RED indicating the OTA Programmer is successfully powered on and it functions well.
LED blinks indicating the OTA Programmer is building the connection or transferring data between the ESC and the smart device.
Keep holding the RESET button with a thin and sharp thing like toothpick\tweezer or something for about 5 seconds, release the RESET button when the LED is flashing,
then you can reset all parameters of the OTA Programmer to factory default values.

How to Connect OTA Programmer to Different ESCs
1
The way to connect OTA Programmer to ESC may vary because of different ESC hardware design. The following are the ways to connect OTA Programmer to different
ESCs, about which way you should take, please refer to the user manual of your ESC. In some case, the special Y harness (As shown picture 1: with three female
connectors not two female connectors and one male connector) included in the package may be needed for connecting the OTA Programmer to ESC.
1. For ESC with the throttle cable and programming cable multiplexed.
1.1 For ESC with built-in BEC: in this case, a piece of Y harness is needed to connect the OTA Programmer and ESC. To be specific, connect the ESC throttle cable and
OTA Programmer tri-black cable to connector A and connector B of the Y harness respectively (as shown picture 3).
1.2 For ESC without built-in BEC: in this case, a piece of Y harness is also needed to connect the OTA Programmer and ESC. To be specific, connect the ESC throttle
cable and OTA Programmer tri-black cable to connector A and connector B of the Y harness respectively. And connect the remaining end (/connector C) of the Y
harness to an UBEC to power the OTA Programmer (as shown picture 3).
2. For ESC that the fan port (on the ESC) is also the programming port
In this case, please unplug the fan wire first, and then plug the tri-black cable on the OTA Programmer to the fan/programming port (as shown picture 2).
3. For ESC with a separate programming cable
3.1 For ESC with the programming cable which has the output voltage of 5-12.6V: in this case, a piece of Y harness is needed to connect the OTA Programmer and ESC.
To be specific, connect the ESC throttle cable and OTA Programmer tri-black cable to connector A and connector B of the Y harness respectively (as shown picture 3).
3.2 For ESC with the programming cable which has no output voltage: in this case, a piece of Y harness is needed to connect the OTA Programmer tri-black and ESC.
To be specific, connect the ESC programming cable and OTA Programmer tri-black cable to connector A and connector B of the Y harness respectively. And an
UBEC is needed to power the OTA Programmer, connect the remaining end (/connector C) to the battery (as shown picture 3).
4. For ESC with a separate port for programming
Plug the OTA Programmer directly into the programming port on ESC(as shown picture 2).
Note: An extra battery(5-12.6V) can replace the UBEC mentioned above.

“Bluetooth” or “W iFi” the first time when you open the app; at this point, please select “Bluetooth”. You need to change the connection to
“Bluetooth” after using the “W iFi” connection, you can click “Settings” (on the home page) and then “Select the connecting mode” to change the
connection. then the following interface will show up.
1. Connect OTA Programmer
A list of Bluetooth devices will pop out when you click the Connect icon on the upper right corner, then select Bluetooth
named “HW-BLE*****”, enter the initial passwor “888888” and then click “OK”.
2. OTA Programmer Connection Status
The Connect icon (at the top right cor ner on the user interface of the App) will tur n Blue if the the smart device is
successfully connected to the to the ESC. Otherwise, it will stay Grey (as shown right).
3. How to change the factory-default Bluetooth name & password

· SEAKING(海王)系列的部分船用无刷电调；
· 具体电调是否支持，请查看电调说明书或官网技术参数。
电调与OTA Programmer连接
1
因各电调参数编程接口不同，电调与OTA Programmer的连接方法也不同，请查看电调说明书对参数编程口的详细说明，再使用相应的接法即可，连接方
法有以下几种。另有些电调连接时需用到包装盒内的特制的Y线（如图一所示：Y线为3个母头，非2母1公）。
HW Link APP可以对电调进行参数设置、固件升级等操作（具体详情请查看Hobbywing HW Link APP软件说明书）
电调接上电池并打开开关，打开智能终端设备的Hobbywing APP “HW Link”应用程序，首次进入APP，会提示选择
蓝牙连接或是WiFi连接，此处选择蓝牙连接。使用过WiFi连接后如果要切换为蓝牙连接请点击“系统设置”中的“选择连
接方式”改变设置。然后显示图界面；
1、连接OTA Programmer：
点击APP内右上方的电调标识，会弹出附近可连接的蓝牙设备，点选蓝牙名称“HW-BLE*****”，输入出厂默认密码
“888888”，然后点击“确认”即可。
2、OTA Programmer连接状态指示：
若智能终端设备与OTA Programmer连接正常，APP界面右上角的连接图标为动态的蓝色，否则为灰色，如图所示。
3、蓝牙名称及密码修改：
· 点击“系统设置”图标，进入设置页面；
· 点击“蓝牙模块设置”，进入蓝牙设置页面，输入新名称（HW两字符无法删除）、
新密码后点击确定即可。
1、电调编程线与油门线复用：
1.1 若电调有BEC输出：需通过Y线连接，即电调油门线、OTA Programmer模块插头分别插入Y线的A、B接口，如图三所示。
1.2 若电调无BEC输出：需通过Y线连接，即电调油门线、OTA Programmer模块插头分别插入Y线的A、B接口；此外，还须用额外的UBEC给OTA
Programmer模块供电，电池插入Y线的C接口，如图三所示。
2、电调编程口与风扇接口共用：
把风扇线拨出，然后把OTA Programmer模块线上的JR插头插入电调的风扇接口即可，如图二所示。
3、电调具有独立的编程线：
3.1 若电调编程线有电压（5-12.6V）输出：需通过Y线连接，即电调编程线、OTA Programmer模块插头分别插入Y线的A、B接口，如图三所示。
3.2 若电调编程线无电压输出：需通过Y线连接，即电调编程线、OTA Programmer模块插头分别插入Y线的A、B接口；此外，还须用额外的UBEC给
OTA Programmer模块供电，电池插入Y线的C接口，如图三所示。
4、电调具有独立的编程口：
OTA Programmer模块直接插入编程口即可，如图二所示。
备注：以上所述额外的UBEC，也可以用电池（5-12.6V）给代替！
