I have a few questions regarding software and ESC configuration, in addition to some advice for leads. I figured I’d ask here first because I already have an account here and y’all probably know what you’re doing!

I have Afro HV ESCs. Is there an easy way to remove the engine leads without destroying the ESC? I’m trying to solder in new leads, but the old ones are joined to the board with the world’s most heat resistant solder I’ve ever seen. Should I just give up and use extensions instead of trying to solder in new leads?

I want to test my motors from my laptop but can’t seem to find a software slider that will let me do that within the BLHeli suite. I would assume that this is possible from software, is it not? I have an ESC hooked up to my laptop via a programming stick. I figured this stick would be capable of sending a pwm signal to tell my ESC to tell my engine to spin up… right? I don’t own a transmitter or receiver at the moment so I need a software means of emulating a pwm signal as if it were coming from a transmitter. I could hook the ESCs up to the Navio2 and generate the signals there if I had to. I just am wondering if BLHeli or any other software package already offers this feature.
