    Swordfish computer link

    Hello all,

    I was able to load the Hifei V4.12 on my computer successfully from the provided disc. The treads on this web site were helpful there.

    However, I can’t get the software to recognize any of my ESCs. I have several Swordfish ESCs (300 and 220 Pro+). When I follow the “Connect ESC to PC” instructions provided, I get a red light on my USB linker. The instructions state I should get a green light.

    I have tried different Swordfish ESCs (with and without a BEC).

    I have tried different USB linkers.

    I don’t get a software option to manually select a com port.

    It appears my computer just isn’t seeing the ESC.

    As they are all doing the same thing, I assume the ESCs are fine. They can’t all be bad; it has got to be me missing something.

    What am I missing? Help please

        Load or instal it on a USB drive or an SD card.

          I just inserted a USB Drive.
          Reinstalled it on that drive using the "CP210xVCPInstaller_x64" file. I used the "Browse" option to select the USB drive for the target.
          Then used a brand new Swordfish 220 Pro+ that hasn't had any connectors soldered onto it (I thought perhaps I damaged the others when soldering bullets)
          it is performing the same. Red light on the "USB Linker" and the software just doesn't see the ESC.
          I know it is something I am doing wrong, I just can't figure it out.
          I do appreciate the help

              Hi, when plug Hifei USB Linker to PC, the red LED of USB linker will on.
              Good to hear you can connect them all to PC now.
