Very IMPORTANT New feature request for both Betaflight and Cleanflight (ESC tab) #2333

Closed silentwindblows closed 7 years ago

silentwindblows commented 7 years ago

BLhelisuite can be problematic and very annoying, so we need a new ESC tab in Cleanflight and Betaflight, not just to configure and flash ESC (simonk, BLheli etc) firmwawre, but also to flash simonk and BLheli bootloader onto ESC's that do not come with a bootloader. The ESC tab must be comprehensive, extremely powerful and flexible, user friendly

Have you tried the BLHeli Chrome Configurator? https://github.com/blheli-configurator/blheli-configurator/

I didn't know such a tool existed. Ate you telling me there's actually a configurator specifically for BLhehi, that runs as a Chrome app ?

I just installed blheli in chrome, went back into Cleanflight configurator to disable UART 3 MSP, which is normally used for CC3D boards flex port. Then i successfully connected to the board in bLheli chrome, but every time i click read setup, the log window just shows "reading setup", then "read setup finished". Nothing is displayed after this. All VCP Drivers are installed, latest cleanflight firmware on the CC3D flight Controller board, so why isn't BLheli chrome not displaying the ESC settings after reading reading setup, blank interface, just a little note top left of screen regarding moving propellers and power the ESC's. Very strange. I've tried all 3 ports on the CC3D (flex, main, USB). Green light is solid when i connect to CC3D within BLheli chrome, so obviously bootloader mode seems to be fine, but it isnt showing ESC settings

closing issue as the separate app already exists

fncisco commented 7 years ago

You need power (battery) your esc before click on "read setup"
