This guide covers the basic steps to configure your Hargrave Technologies ESC using the Configurator tool

Start by connecting your ESC to your computer. This can be done through connecting a USB directly to your ESC or through DroneCAN by connecting a CAN adapter or Flight Computer.

Connect your compatible ESC to your computer with a type C USB cable

Click the 'Connect an ESC' button to open the COM port selector. Depending on which page of the Configurator you are on there may be multiple 'Connect' buttons for convenience.

Select the correct COM port. The COM port selection dialog will look different depending on whether you are using the downloaded (left) or the online (right) version of the configurator.

See the following guide for how to connect to an ESC with DroneCAN

After connection you will be directed to the ESC page to configure settings. From this page you can change settings, create and load settings presets and flash firmware.

When the 'Auto Reconnect' toggle is active, ESC reconnection over USB and DroneCAN is detected and the ESC is loaded into the configurator. From configurator version 1.5.0 this is enabled by default.

The configurator tour, accessible from the welcome screen, will take you through the various features of the configurator as a guided walkthrough with a simulated ESC.
