The Hobbywing ESC LED Program Card is a compact programming accessory designed for setting up compatible Hobbywing electronic speed controllers. Instead of relying only on transmitter-based programming, this LED program card gives users a clearer and faster way to adjust ESC parameters during bench setup, workshop tuning, or field use. This program card is suitable for a wide range of Hobbywing ESC families, including Platinum series, FlyFun V5 series, SkyWalker V2 series and later versions, EzRun series, QuicRun series, SeaKing series, and selected XeRun series ESCs. Always check the relevant ESC manual before use, because compatibility, connection method, and available programming items may vary by ESC model and firmware version. Key Features Hobbywing ESC programming card: designed for quick parameter setup on compatible Hobbywing ESCs. LED interface: makes ESC programming easier and more direct than transmitter-only setup. Compact and portable: suitable for workshop setup, bench testing, and field adjustments. Aircraft ESC compatibility: works with Hobbywing Platinum series, FlyFun V5 series, and SkyWalker V2 series and later aircraft ESCs. Car and boat ESC support: also supports EzRun, QuicRun, QuicRun 1080 / 880 brushed ESCs, SeaKing brushless boat ESCs, and selected XeRun ESCs. 4.8V–8.4V input voltage: can be powered according to the ESC setup and manual instructions. Useful for BEC and OPTO ESC setups: when the ESC has no built-in or external BEC, a separate battery is needed to power the program card. Product Specifications Brand Hobbywing Product Name ESC LED Program Card Model Reference PLATINUMPC Product Type ESC programmer / LED program card Input Voltage 4.8V–8.4V Size (L × W × H) 88 × 58 × 14mm Approx. Weight 40g Stock Number 30501003 Compatible Hobbywing ESC Series The Hobbywing ESC LED Program Card works with many Hobbywing ESC families, but not every ESC supports the same programming items. Always check the ESC user manual to confirm compatibility, connection method, supported parameters, and whether an external power source is required. Aircraft ESCs Platinum series, FlyFun V5 series brushless aircraft ESCs, SkyWalker V2 series and later versions. Car ESCs EzRun series, QuicRun brushless car ESCs, QuicRun 1080 and 880 brushed ESCs, and selected XeRun ESCs. Boat ESCs SeaKing series brushless boat ESCs. Why Use a Hobbywing LED Program Card? Many Hobbywing ESCs can be programmed through a transmitter, but using a dedicated LED program card is usually faster, clearer, and more convenient. Instead of counting throttle beeps or repeating transmitter stick movements, you can view and adjust supported parameters through the program card interface. This is especially helpful when setting up aircraft ESCs from the FlyFun, SkyWalker, and Platinum series. Depending on the ESC model, adjustable items may include LiPo cell setting, cutoff voltage, start-up mode, timing, motor direction, freewheeling, BEC voltage on supported ESCs, and factory reset options. Program Label and Sticker Notes The Hobbywing ESC LED Program Card may use different printed parameter tables depending on the ESC series being programmed. For car and boat ESCs, the factory-applied label may already match the required programming table, so relabeling is usually not needed. For FlyFun V5 aircraft ESCs, the correct programming reference is typically Table 1, which should be applied to the front side of the program card when required. For Platinum V1 / V2 aircraft ESCs, the correct reference is typically Table 2, which should be applied to the back side of the program card when required. Before programming, check the official manual and make sure the table label on the program card matches your ESC series. Using the wrong table may cause confusion when selecting items and values, even if the program card itself is compatible with the ESC. Powering the Program Card The Hobbywing ESC LED Program Card uses a 4.8V–8.4V input voltage range. When the connected ESC has a built-in BEC or is connected to an external BEC, the program card may receive power through the ESC setup according to the manual connection method. If the ESC has no built-in or external BEC, such as many OPTO aircraft ESCs, a separate battery is needed to power the program card. This is important for high-voltage OPTO airplane ESCs, where receiver power is intentionally handled separately from the main ESC. Important Compatibility Notes This product is an ESC programming accessory, not an ESC. It does not power the motor and does not replace a receiver, BEC, or battery. Supported settings vary by ESC model and series. Some XeRun ESCs may require confirmation from the relevant ESC manual. For FlyFun V5 aircraft ESCs, use the correct Table 1 reference label when required by the manual. For Platinum V1 / V2 aircraft ESCs, use the correct Table 2 reference label when required by the manual. For OPTO ESCs with no BEC, use a separate 4.8V–8.4V battery to power the program card when required. For firmware upgrade or USB-based setup, use the correct Hobbywing USB setting device if your ESC manual requires it. Always connect the program card according to the official Hobbywing manual before changing parameters. Recommended Collection Paths For more setup accessories, visit ESC Programmers & Accessories.

It is used to program compatible Hobbywing ESCs. It helps users adjust ESC settings more easily than transmitter-only programming, especially for supported setup items such as cutoff behavior, start-up mode, timing, motor direction, freewheeling, and BEC voltage settings on compatible ESCs. Does this LED program card work with FlyFun V5 ESCs? Yes. It works with Hobbywing FlyFun V5 series brushless aircraft ESCs. Always check the FlyFun ESC manual for the supported parameters and correct connection method. Does this program card work with SkyWalker ESCs? Yes. It works with Hobbywing SkyWalker V2 series and later versions. For older or special SkyWalker models, check the ESC manual before use. Do I need a separate battery to power the program card? Only in some setups. The program card uses 4.8V–8.4V input. If the ESC has no built-in or external BEC, a separate battery is needed to power the program card. This is common with OPTO ESC setups. Is this a USB programming device? No. This is an LED program card for ESC parameter setup. If your ESC requires firmware upgrade or USB-based setup, use the correct Hobbywing USB setting device specified by the ESC manual. Do I need to apply a different label or sticker before using the program card? It depends on the ESC series. For FlyFun V5 aircraft ESCs, use the correct Table 1 reference label when required. For Platinum V1 / V2 aircraft ESCs, use the correct Table 2 reference label when required. Always check the official manual so the printed table on the program card matches the ESC you are programming.
