Status: offline 		I would like to find out if I could send in my HFP10 programmer and have it upgraded to a HFP20. I think it REALLY SUCKS BAD if Hitec decides to not offer this service to loyal Hitec customers that own a HFP10 that won't work with the new series servo's without having to have to buy another over 100.00 programmer when a software update to the HFP10 would make it the same exact unit.

Status: offline 		Unfortunatley, the new HFP-20 uses a new board; it is not just a software update so the HFP-10 cannot be updated. You will however still be able to use the HFP-10 programmer with the new 79XX series servos but you will not be able to utilize the servo overload protection feature or reduce the resolution from High to STD if you want to program the servo travel for greater than 90 total degrees of travel.

So you are not being forced to upgrade your programmer with the new servos as the HFP-10 will still program them just like they were the 5XXX series with the exception of the extended EPA due to the default High Resolution setting. Not that if you do program the new 7XXX series servos beyond 90 degrees (45 deg. each direction) with the HFP-20 you will have to go back to the standard resolution.

I agree if would have been nice to be able to update the HFP-10, but unfortunatley it was maxed out with the processor it uses, so the HFP-20 had to be made in order to advance our servo technology.

Status: offline 		Hey Mike, Thanks for the reply. I see where it would be impossible to up grade the programmer software wise. If my HFP-10 failed what would it cost to have the HFP-20 board installed by you guys? Surely it would be less than a whole HFP-20 since my case and battery would be fine.

$90 is the flat rate repair fee for the programmer if it were not repairable.

Status: offline 		Is the $90 for the 10, or to replace the 10 board with a 20?

Status: offline 		The 10 is discontinued and I believe out of stock. So, it would have to be replaced with the 20.
