# KISS ESC - CLI

{% hint style="info" %}

> The CLI Settings are only needed if you want to setup special things like using two ESC's on one Sbus or S-Port. For normal Copter usage it is not needed.
> {% endhint %}

You will need a USB-UART adapter (like FTDI or CP2102) to use the CLI.

Connect the USB-UART like this:

| **KISS ESC** | **USB UART** |
| ------------ | ------------ |
| RX           | TX           |
| TX           | RX           |
| GND          | GND          |

> Please look up the individual ESC wiring information to get info on the location of the RX and TX solder pads.

Its important that the USB-UART is powered at the same moment, or before the ESC gets power. Else the ESC disables the UART for safety reasons.

On the PC side, use a serial monitor like PuTTY or Arduino serial monitor. Choose the USB-UARTs COM-PORT and select 115200 baud. In Arduino serial monitor choose also active linewarp.
