Programming Functions
The DPC-10 BLDC Programming Software gives the
user of Hitec brushless servos the unparalleled ability
to adjust the parameters of their servos. Additionally
users can test their servos, save parameters to a
file, load parameters from a file or restore the factory
settings from a file.
Testing a servo’s function can be critical to
completing a successful project. Use these tests
to “burn-in” new servos or to check for broken
gears and other issues. The DPC-10 is capable of
performing the following tests:
1. Servo Travel using one of the following methods:
a. Manual Positioning
b. Automatic Sweep Positioning
c. Step Positioning
2. FAIL SAFE programming position

The following functions can be programmed into the
HITEC BLDC servos using the DPC-10:
1. FAIL SAFE, On or Off.
2. Direction of Rotation.
3. Travel Speed (Slower).

There are two ways to connect your servo to the
DPC-10, Basic Mode and RC Mode.
Basic mode connection allows you to control your
servo from your PC. All parameters are set first, then
loaded into the servo from your PC. Use your PC to
check the functions.
It is recommended that you connect your DPC-10 in
the following order for proper operation:
1. Connect DPC-10 to your PC computer.
2. Launch the DPC-10 software.
3. Connect your servo to the DPC-10 servo port.
4. Connect your battery to the DPC-10 battery port.
Now click the “Connect” button in the DPC-10
software. If your connections are correct, you will see
the following screen.

RC Mode Connection
RC Mode connection is useful when setting your
servo parameters because it allows you to check the
function with your radio just as if you were operating
your model. You will still need to use your PC to
perform the programming, but you will use your radio
to check the functions.
It is recommended that you connect your DPC-10 in
the following order for proper operation:
1. Make sure your receiver is bound to your
transmitter.
2. Connect DPC-10 to your PC computer.
3. Launch the DPC-10 software.
4. Connect your servo to the DPC-10.
5. Connect your receiver to the DPC-10 and turn on
the power.
6. Turn on your radio.
7. Click on the “Connect” button.
8. Click on “RC Mode.” Once connected, you will get a
message saying “RC mode change is complete.”
You can now operate the servo with your
transmitter.
