Can this be used without the USB programing adapter? If it can be used without it, what are the benafits of being able to usb program the controler?

Yes it can be used by listening to the audible sounds when hooking it up using the manual that is supplied. The benefits of the usb and the castle program is dialing in the power of the motor, changing motor direction, reverse lockout, and punch off the line. This a great speedo for the money. I currently run two in a clodbuster brushless setup. Hope this helps

Yes it can, the castle controller card just gives you complete control of all the available settings that the esc has built in, like max power it sends to motor, torque, assisted braking,and a ton more, the esc comes with stock settings,and you might be able to change some settings using the beep method, which if you can it will explain in manual. Again to answer your question it will work fine out of the box, USB is just for fine tuning.

Yes it can be used without the link. The link let's you set the esc for things like on road or off, drag brake and options like that.

It can. You Really need to have the program chip to be able to switch from Lipo/mnh. You basically will not see the full potential of your side winder without USB programer. You can demo it at castle link. Or watch on web.. thanks. You Realy will need it and love it when you have it. Can do so mutch

I've never used the programing thing for it. I'm a plug and play guy. But I have read that it's alot easier to program if you have it. I do all the programing by the the one button. Cheaper that way too. But if you got the money it is the way to go. I deal with a lot of head ache with mine.

No.It should work without drivers. If you want to change what functions the buttons do then you will need to download 'Setpoint' from Logitech and choose the Mac operating system. http://www.logitech.com/en-au/support/5846?osid=14&bit;=64If you have two or more Logitech products that use the unifying receiver you will also need the unifying software. I believe setpoint has it in it anyway.

You need to use the specific software that is made for this radio. The problem is that the software that comes with it is not the right software. The other problem is that the drivers and software will not work with anything above Windows XP! You need to map a COMM port to a USB port. When you do so, it locks up all your USB ports and disables them. I remember having this exact same problem when we had to start using USB to serial converters to program CISCO routers. It locked them all up. I found this radio useless and un-programmable and have since gone back to using my Yaesu VX-7R. This radio now serves as a great paper-weight.

i dont think you will need your controller. It comes with a sptectrum DX6i remote already for the program. Try using your remote and see if it works.

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

You can ON/OFF MX2 with this remote...be aware that this is not G-mouse 3....and you on/off MX2 even when usb dongle is not in the usb port...that means on/off feature works without dongle....

It's a USB connection so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work as long as you had the driver.

It is programmable with the remote, yes, but with cd's only. It has a usb port that is not programmable through the unit, although whatever you hook up to it is probably programmable in its own right.

You can program manually. You need a programming cable and a cd that contains both the cable driver and the programming software for computer programming.

The controller needs a software update In order to work with the new adapter, hence the usb.

No drivers are required. I use it with my work computer, and my company is also very strict on downloads, but it works fine without any driver installation. It works as soon as you have everything plugged in the right way.

Hi.The controller can be turned on without having it plugged in the USB cable. The rechargeable battery allows independent operation. Regards

Gosh - it's been so long I don't remember having drivers for the device itself. Just printer drivers. There was software to find & configure the device and create the "fake" USB ports, although I remember it having a web UI as well if the UNC shares was good enough. The "fake" USB ports connection had a limitation where it didn't handle large files very well. This thing was tied to Windows XP and just didn't work well that I tossed it in the trash years ago when I stopped using XP. To sum up - you are looking for the Software that creates the local ports on your PC, then you use the Printer drivers for the printer. But you can also access the device via File Shares (UNC) which doesn't require the software. Gosh - it's been so long I don't remember having drivers for the device itself. Just printer drivers.

There should be a cable inside the box with the programmer that plugs into your USB port. If not I would contact the manufacture and have them send you one.

There are several open-source programs that can control this device, such as http://qlcplus.sourceforge.net/The Windows driver is just a standard serial driver, which Windows should find automatically. My driver disk was actually physically broken when I got it, but I didn't need it.

No to the first answer. I never tried triggering via USB but I doubt that unless you maybe find some other software that can do that.

It is a Console controller, but it has a unplug-able Adapter to change it to USB. But unplug it and it's console!
