Linux is OK, but for us Windows (and Mac) users it is not very convenient to hunt down precompiled executables of the GUI Tool. Especially for newcomers. Some versions are available here on forums: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1106793#p1106793 It would be great if you could agree to host some of those versions here on github. Thanks.

Somebody should set up at build-server for that and integrate it with Github. Do someone got any experience of this?

I update the link to Windows OS X as soon as Vedder updates Linux, you can learn how to compile it your self on your preferred system as all of the code is already on git hub but the same as Linux it has to be built, you will need to install Xcode and qt to do this. Or you can just go to my google drive, https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bym9XrdeViekfkRETmRndENkcVpySW5sWjIzOWdrLThCY01HY3BPOXpqYVRHUlQxS0R5ZlU

Thanks to Enertion releasing their new Raptor 2 skateboard, they've now also started hosting Windows and Mac downloads of the BLDC Tool, here: https://www.enertionboards.com/new-focbox-speed-controller/focbox-bldc-tool-win/ (Windows) and here: https://www.enertionboards.com/new-focbox-speed-controller/focbox-bldc-tool-mac/ (Mac). The downloads are free but do require a complete "check out" in their store.

Update: bldc-tool is deprecated and replaced by vesc-tool. See my notes here: https://github.com/vedderb/bldc-tool/issues/24#issuecomment-418479839.

To install the new vesc-tool, download the binaries right from his new main website: https://vesc-project.com/vesc_tool. Click the link, then scroll to the bottom and click "Add to cart" for the option you want, then do a full checkout, creating an account and all. Once done checking out, you can click "My account" at the top of the page, then click the "Click here to view your file downloads" link, and you'll see this page, where you can download executables for Linux, Windows, or Android!
