Mike,
Do you have the CC Beta version number that works? My CC ESC has recently been uploaded with the latest firmware as of a couple of weeks ago).
The reason I ask is that currently I am "JMP-2"-less!. I zapped my original one when I carelessly plugged it into the battery incorrectly during a programming attempt (zap!), and the JMP-2 I just bought doesn't work for some reason (not the same reason as the original, I put on my spectacles now before I plug in the timer!). I contacted the supplier and he tells me that JMP-2 is currently "not available", but it will be back in November, when my 2nd one can be fixed or replaced. I hope this is true since I like the JMP2.
However I still need a timer NOW, so I was thinking about buying a Zigras, since it is the only one I know that is available now and with a "reasonable" price (reasonable=my budget!). However I would like it to work with my controller.
I am even considering going Igor B's route and rolling my own, but I would like to get a flight or two on the new bird before the icy weather begins to close in on me. I have no idea how long it would take me to go make my own, but I have registered with the chip manufacturer so I could buy a few of that PIC controllers. The way I blew my JMP2 timer, maybe it would be a good idea to have a few more cheapie timers available. There is always the long winter to work on electronics. However $30 is a pretty good deal for the commercial timers I think.
Now on a completely different subject, do you think that Brodak might give us a little more info on his ESC so that I could at least attach another timer to it? I don't expect governor mode of course, but the original JMP-2 would have worked pretty nice with the ESC if only we knew how to talk to the ESC....
