*IF YOU ARE FLASHING MULTISHOT PLEASE SEE THE NOTES BELOW*

PART 1: Flashing your multicopter ESCs with Oneshot or Multishot!
In this tutorial we look at how to get BLhelisuite working with 'one-wire-passthrough' so you can flash or upgrade your ESCs with one simple USB connection to your flight controller. As well as upgrading your ESC firmware we will see how simple it is to switch over to Multishot using the same software, if you so desire!

Multishot notes: Your motors will not operate until you enable multishot function in the cleanflight CLI. Do the following (betafligh 2.6.1)
1. Leave oneshot *enabled* very inportant for this version of betaflight.
2. in the cli type: set use_multishot =ON (then press enter)
3. type: save (press enter)

If you are on betaflight 2.7.0 do the following instead:
1. in cli type: set fast_pwm_protocol = MULTISHOT (press enter)
2. type: save (press enter)

*If you are on betaflight 2.8.1 do the follwing instead:*
1. in cli type: set fast_pwm_protocol = MULTISHOT (press enter)
2. type: save (press enter)
NOTE: ONESHOT WILL DISABLE AUTOMATICALLY , this is normal now in this version.

**Further notes** If you are using the new Betaflight configurator on firmware 2.8.1 or higher, you can now select multishot straight from the config page! No CLI required.
