Using the Tekin RS / RS Pro with HotWire
The Tekin RS and RS Pro speed controls are very popular, largely because Tekin provides free firmware updates, applied by a Windows program called HotWire. However Tekin's documentation has not kept pace with the software and firmware developments.
For a time, I maintained an article to help to help users of the RS and RS Pro make good use of HotWire and the latest firmware. But I stopped revising after version 203 “Vegas 2.0". Version 208 was a major revision, and version 212 (current as of August 2011) a bug fix. This old article may still be helpful to you for learning the basics, especially the concept of timing in brushless motors.
Note that Word can compare two documents and redline the differences, making it easy for you to read just what's changed if you have the old document version on hand; Word has a “go to next change” command for stepping through the redlined document. In the current Word (2007) both the “compare” and “go to next change” functions are under the "Review" tab on the ribbon.
