Im interested to know what particular Hex file users get good results with.

If users can report results back heee, ill do the same..

Developer Comment by Max Levine on December 10, 2011 at 4:44am

I used tgy.hex, lust like it says in the guide, (Build from 2011-09-06) , there is another one in 

tgy_2011-11-10_d3567e61.zip that, I guess, is newer.

Remember you CAN NOT flash it back to original firmware !!! and NO PROPS !!!

If someone want to compile fine-tuned .hex for ACM please do :) 

https://github.com/sim-/tgy

Faster ESC update speed, enables higher P value, I got up to P=7 !!! (JDrones frame), after some flying ended-up with P= 5.8 and it flying really nice now :)

No need to change anything in ACM code :)

2.0.55 is very good, so its not all in the ESC firmware ;) Thanks to Jason !!!

I flashed JDrones 20A ESC

One more thing, you may need to lower throttle end-point on your radio:

to 115-120%

Big thanks to simonk, Nek and timecop :)

@Max

I'm rubbish at programming my TX! When you say lower the endpoint? You mean lower the bottom endpoint because the motors have a tendency to start when the throttle stick is at the bottom?

Thanks for the photos, very useful!

There is no ESC range calibration in tgy.hex and I think low point set lower than 1000 by default.
Just lower it a bit see if it works

I ordered a set of modded ESC from QuadroUFO.com today that offers the FW.  I hope to try them out next weekend sometime when they arrive.  The reflash was free.  I hope for good results.

Yes, Ken @ QuadroUFO told me when ordering just email him about your order and request SimonK's FW.  He is in CA, USA.  I was told that also by the group/thread over on RCGroups Forums.  Ken said he only has 30A ESC's but that is OK with me.

I got some time to do this today and the leap in stability is excellent! Perhaps this should become recognised in the wiki as an advanced option.

For anyone using an avrispmkII programmer with AVRDUDE on Windows, the drivers that ship with AVRStudio don't work with DOS applications so I used these on Windows instead and it worked fine. I also had to add the -P usb flag:
