Yeah you can use the program box to connect the ESC by USB to a PC, but I have found it a little temperamental, sometimes the software doesnt pick it up. Once it does, it works fine but just takes some playing. The Skylink works great so I tend to use that if I'm plugging the ESC into the PC.

Also the Skylink uses a Mini USB and comes with a cable, but the Program Box uses MicroUSB (same cable as most Android/Windows Smart phones) but I dont think you get a cable in the box.

One annoying thing about the Program Box is the battery voltage part, you have the pins on the side for your balance port, I just assumed you could plug the balance plug straight into it but it doesnt fit, so I had to make a cable using a 3 pin Fatuba plug and a female part of a balance port extension cable.
