blheli-configurator fork for Bluejay like JESC and others #4

Closed howels closed 3 years ago

howels commented 3 years ago

Please consider forking blheli-configurator like others have done (https://github.com/Asizon/blheli-configurator/releases and https://github.com/jflight-public/jesc-configurator) because this makes it really easy to quickly update ESCs and test new releases.

EDIT - I see you have forked configurator but not published a release yet, hope this is something which can be done! Your commits look very promising :-)

thanks

@howels Yes, I'm trying :)

I basically had to do it since I have decided to move towards changing the internal layout of Bluejay which will make it incompatible with BLHeli configurators.

Though because of this, it might be some time before I can do a proper release.

@mathiasvr you should try working with asizon on the configurator. He will probably be willing to help.

I think the blheli-m configurator re-used regular blheli-s options to convey the jazz maverick options. So if bluejay ends up being substantially different to blheli-s then I can see where there could be problems.

well at that point it would only be a problem if there isn't a bluejay configurator. If there is a bluejay configurator then this stuff shouldn't be a problem.

I will try to release a configurator that works on the old layout so we can have one a bit sooner.

I have now released a version here: https://github.com/mathiasvr/blheli-configurator/releases Still very early work but it should make it easier to install - hopefully without issues.

Excellent. Connects to my board fine. Haven't tried to re-flash but looks promising :+1: Will give it a proper test on the next ESC firmware release and try to use that to upgrade.

So we have a configurator now. I hope to be able to merge it back to blheli configurator when bluejay's settings layout becomes more stable.
