I always do the initial setup on the gyro it's self and see how it flies. If you can't get it locked in and feeling the way you want, then yes, you can connect it to the computer, set it up with no light (I'm pretty sure this is "user defined") and fine tune each setting. But I always start with the suggested parameters as they are set to default.
Understood. I have 2 of them and that's the way I've done. I think they work great. But that isn't saying much, this only my 2nd season flying. I just setup a gpro on my 450 dfc and it offers a lot of opportunity for tweaking. I was looking into updating the firmware in the bx's and I noticed in the manual that there is optional pc software available and was just wondering if it would be worthwhile to try using since I have to purchase the usb interface anyway to update. I've never really seen any posts from people using though.

If you don't know what binary is, you are about to get a crash course. Binary follows a simple rule, the number is doubled each time.
1 2 4 8 16 32 64 (and so on)
This is the way the numbers work on the face of the gyro.
so if A and B are lit (1+2=3), your first digit is 3.
Then if I, J, & K are lit, (2+4+8), then your second digit is 14.
So we are up to 3.14.
Then, if during those 3 seconds you push the setup button, it will show you the final number in the firmware.
Just checked, you should have A and B lit, then you should have H lit, meaning you are on version 3.1. If you push the button, I don't think any lights will turn on, meaning you are on 3.1.0
I hope this makes sense. Binary is fun, just takes a minute to wrap your head around it.

You know I just noticed that and was wondering why that is. Yes merge the two using rbei312. I checked my bx's and on 1 I got just the a and b lights and nothing when I press the button. The other I got the a and b and i thru j. Then when I press the button I get the h.

Users merged. Sometimes new members create an account, and not knowing that I can change usernames, they create another one. No matter to me, it's a quick fix. The hardest part of merging users is running the user update (about 4300 queries) and updating thread information (Somewhere over 100K queries).
And can you get a short video of the start up? No need to push the button, I just want to see the first two digits.
