Another whammy, My Flysky i6 firmware update cable cannot seem to connect with my pc. I found someone who told me I'll be needing drivers for that, anyone know what they are and where I can find them???

ahh well found and installed the silicon labs 210x driver, usb cable still not connecting. LED turns red for a few seconds then disconnects, firmware update says device not connected

The problem might be with the usb connection. Before proceeding further check whether your pc detects usb as com port or not by checking it in device manager, sometimes the usb gets unplugged.
You do not need any other drivers other than silicon labs driver to connect it to pc.

thank you, that was the error, I checked in device manager and the problem was improper com port. 10 channel firmware mod downloaded successfully
