I have been out of CC3D and quads for two years and it looks like the world is so much more complicated!
I have 4 Emax Shot BL Heli Bullet sec's. I am using a Lemon satellite which has been bound. I was following everything as I have done before and was able to do the esc calibration and had throttle response.
I went into the BL Heli Suite to change the motor rotations. I could not manage this even with my pro computer partner.
In my reading I see that the latest version of LP does not support Dshot.
Have I bought the wrong ESC's? Did I fry one? No smoke, fire or melted plastic. Is there another way around this? Do I have to buy different ESC's?
Thanks in advance.

I think I recall that many DShot ESCs also support other protocols. I don't know if your brand does. I would try some other protocols like OneShot# or at least PWMSync or PWM-490Hz.
I recall the development version of LP supports DShot. You could build from source or search the forum for a recent "next" download. There is a guy that builds and publishes it.

Hi Cliff
I tried it with the different ESC's and still no response. When I go to calibrate the ESC's I get the initial beeps but at the end I there are no end beeps.

Did you research what protocols your ESC will do?
If they will do PWM@490Hz try these instructions to set PWMSync (or PWM @490Hz) on all outputs and calibrate ESCs and set neutrals.

Here is a link to a post with the current build of "next" which has DShot. I know that @Mateuze has used DShot. Min/Neutral/Max setup is a little different.
