  • BLHeliSuite has problems. For one thing, it only runs on Windows. And its approach to handling multiple ESCs is a little cumbersome. Now there's a BLHeli Configurator GUI Chrome App. The interface is optimized and since it's a Chrome app, it'll run on any of the major operating systems. I'll show you where to get this app and give you a quick tour of what it can do.

    Going to be handy not needing to boot up a PC just to flash ESCs. Can't wait to try it on my Mac :D

    There's always something:
    When I read settings, it reads, then nothing. No info pops up.

    I can confirm that indeed you can flash multishot on regular Blheli escs (tested on my Littlebee 20A pro)

    I've been on here and flashed my spedix 4in1 esc and have set everything up on betaflight and it's arming but when increase throttle it is either idle or full speed? Do you know what is wrong? Everything seems to be correct?

    Way more excited about this than I should be!
    I really didn't think I would see the day that blheli functionality would be OSX native.
    What is the future architecture roadmap for all this fundamental software when chrome apps are no more for other OS platforms ?
    The chrome apps were a complete godsend for being platform agnostic, and now it's going away!?!
    Why!
    This is why we can't have nice things...

  • @joshualocsin
    @joshualocsin 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi josh,
    I'm having slow throttle response coming out of a dive (i.e., S-turn over an object and increasing throttle when coming under it) and I've isolated the problem to maybe 3 things: ESC protocol, motors, and weight of quad. I've already tested weight of quad - that is, with and without go pro, so minus ~130g - and that doesn't help save my quad from turning into a pancake. I'm also pretty sure the motors aren't the problem (emax 2205 2300kv red bottoms) since this problem has only appeared recently.
    I'm more leaning my problems to the multishot protocol. I just downloaded this chrome app you recommended above since I've never actually used BlHeli Suite, and noticed my min ppm command was at 1020us, where on the BFC my min throttle is 1070. Could this discrepancy result in slow throttle response and/or no power for the problem I mentioned above?
    thanks for taking the time to read this,
    J

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      min_throttle does not correspond to PPM_min. Min_command corresponds to PPM_min. In my experience a min_command of 1000 typically calibrates to a PPM_min around 1016.
      Multishot shouldn't make your copter weaker, but who knows. Maybe if you have older ESCs they are struggling with the high interrupt rate of multishot. If the issue started recently, figure out what changed around the time the issue started.

    • @joshualocsin
      @joshualocsin 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      hmm, the esc's are brand new actually - tbs bulletproof 25amp. i hooked it up to the esc config and it turns out the firmware was out of date. that is, it was running 16.3 instead of 16.6. think that could be an issue?
      On a side note, I've been noticing occasional voltage drops (

  • @brianbailey5714
    @brianbailey5714 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you talk about how firmware updates work for BLHELI_S? Are there no longer hardware-specific targets? Can I just assume that bigger number = newer = better?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      There definitely are still hardware-specific targets. Always flash the same target that came on your ESC, unless you have a very good reason to do otherwise. The GUI will tell you what is on your ESC and automatically choose the same thing when upgrading. But this is how it's worked on BLHeliSuite for a long time.

    Hello Joshua, Good Video! When I tried to connect everything goes well but when I click in Read Setup nothing happends. I got a Mini Magnum 2 F4 and I need to change the rotation of the motors as all of them are spinning to the right side. Any suggestion? Thanks very much!

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Change direction by swapping any two motor wires from the motor where it connects. To the ESC.

    @AkkitaSet 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Joshua, I have the wizard x220. in the blheli do i have to change the 4 and 1 esc to Reverse or leave them all on normal ? The settings are ok propellers as well and the x220 does't fly stays on the ground.. thanks in advance

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Fotis St it should have come ready to fly. I am going to guess you installed the props upside down.

    • @AkkitaSet
      @AkkitaSet 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      hi Joshua and thanks for your feedback. I had a broken esc and replaced all with new ones. by factory all was normal. for the propellers I place the ones with the R to the ones with the hole in the motor. so I suppose I'm correct right ?

  • @jeffreyodachowski6247
    @jeffreyodachowski6247 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    everything is good but one thing now I got little bee 30s and when I go to do some flips is cool but sometimes when I lower the Throttle Down something goes wrong it's really only when I do flips and rolls. it just looses controller I think one motor doesnt throttle back up and it crashes I can't get anything to happen when I got it in my hand it's been driving me nuts though. I just switched to betaflight with a sp racing f3 and I was using a cc3d and librepilot it was do I doing the same thing with cc3d. I have it so the motors don't turn off when I throttle all the way down because of this problem and I have the minimum set pretty high so it does happen like 1076 I think it plenty low. when it bumps the grown landing a little hard I see the left front motor stop really quick and start back up really quick though. sorry for writing a book to you but your the only one that has helped me . please let me know what you think .

    Can this program invert the input polarity like BlHeliSuite can?

  • @ashingashinga
    @ashingashinga 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Joshua i see that the max throttle on your escs is above 2000. I calibrated my escs and in blheli suite they have 2008, but in betaflight the max is at 2000. That means im not getting the maximum throttle possible?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +ashingashinga if you calibrated then everything is as it should be. The difference in numerical value is because you're using an analog protocol. The whole point of calibration is to compensate for differences in the analog circuits between the ESC's and the FC. If it were as simple as entering the same number both places, then calibration woukdnt be needed, which, incidentally, is how dshot works.

    • @ashingashinga
      @ashingashinga 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. On another quad, after trying several calibration atempts, always only one esc is diferent, sometimes 2 escs. 3 are on 2012, and one on 2008. Should i leave it like that?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. That's the whole point of the calibration. As long as all ESCs are below 2020, and as long as no ESC is too far off from the others (like, less than 20 us difference between all of them), then everything is fine.

    Ez man . Was wondering if I could use your expertise to help me out .
    I have a Betaflight F3 FC & DYS XSD30A V2 .
    Every time i go to Flash my ESCs on The Chrome App ( Mac ) one of the ESC Seems to other died and diapers form the List in the app .
    and Obviously the motor doesn't Spin-up any more ...
    so this happened On Motor (ESC 1 )
    I swiped the ESC then decided to flash All on the Same FW ... now ESC 4 (Motor 4) Seem to have died ...
    Has this ever happen to you ??
    Please

    Josh, I just tried flashing one of my xm20a via the configurator but the progress bar during flashing just sat there when it was 25% through. I had to manually turn off the app. and now ESC1 will not work. I have no clue on what to do.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most likely it isn't bricked. Try to re-flash it. If it is bricked you need to re-flash it using the C2 interface.

    @schnurrfpv4594 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did does it matter what one or is it the first one one the pop down screen where you select firmware. Im running the kombini on beta flight will that be an issue and will the aikon sefm 20a be a problem. I read only the 30amp the i read all sefm are compatible. Just playing it safe. Sorry for all the questions

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't know if Kombini supports Dshot right now. Dshot is not even in beta yet. Even when Dshot is available, it may have major bugs.
      You must only flash the correct firmware to your ESCs or you risk smoking them. Make sure you are flashing the same firmware type to your ESCs that is already on them. The BLHeli app may enforce this, but you should confirm to be sure.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Swap two motor wires on the motors that need to be reversed. Or un-check "reversed" and they will go the other direction. Probably what happened is you didn't solder the motor wires the same way on all four motors.

      @mattyockey9195 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Joshua Bardwell I have been flying for a while in had two swapped on two motors originally when I built the quad I flashed the Escs and even though to wires are switched it still like before even though I have reversed checked after I flashed them I just don't want to go back and swap two wires again even though they're already swapped I just figured I would be able to reverse in configurator just started using it. basically I had motors spinning proper direction prior to flashing them, now I flashed escs newest firmware but it's acting as two motors don't have swapped wires so instead of swapping again I reverse in config and even tho I have them reversed in config they all spin the same way

    Could u please explain what is Brake on Stop?
    By turning them off or on does it affects the characteristic of the quad flys..?
    At Dshot600 can i get the different by activate n deactivate the brake on stop
    Thks in advance

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Brake on stop is for gliders with collapsible props. Braking the prop when the throttle is at zero stops the prop from windmilling and allows it to fold up. On quadcopters it has the kind of cool effect where the props stop dead as soon as you disarm, but on the flip-side, it can result in desync-like effects if your throttle goes too low in the air. I don't recommend that multirotors run it.

    • @BlkwDz
      @BlkwDz 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      you suggest that it should be disarm/turn off

      Make sure you have the "passthrough" interface selected from the Interface menu.
      For BLHeli_32, you must be using BLHeliSuite32, which is a separate download from regular BLHeliSuite.

    I opened suite then on silabs connected - perfectly I saw all settings of my esc - then I flashed all my 4 escs to 16.65 fm after that I wrote this setup disconnect connect it again perfectly again I heared the new standard startup sounds and then i get the number to 93 I guess ( i don’t know , I’m actually not home ) and again then wrote setup and disconnect - what I heard was the same startup sound - first I thought that the settings was not saved but I reconnected it again the number was on 93 - I have a eachine f3 fc flytower with an 4in1 10A esc : F_H_40 , the Motors are the 1104 6500 kv Realacc orange 85 and the works fine ;) hope u can help me and sorry my English I know it’s bad , hope u understand me

    Hi Joshua, I couldn't figure a way to contact you, so I guess this is as good a place as any to ask if you could do a video on the pros vs cons of reversing the motor directions, I've been seeing some posts that say it keeps the props from plastering the fpv lens with everything, and some say that it actually improves the performance of the quad because the rear props get "cleaner air"....one con I see with just reversing the motors in BLHeli Config and swapping props, is that the props nuts are no longer right and could back off, so to do it right you would have to actually change the motor location on the quad...anyway I thought it might be an interesting "experiment" for you to try!

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Michael Chapin not throwing grass on the camera is true. Instead it throws grass on the FC stack. Flight benefits are mixed. Some people say it makes a big difference, some say it makes none. For the nuts, just use nylock and standard thread and it'll be fine.

    So I want to flash my Hakrc 4in1 15amp ESC, but have not been able to connect, without receiving this error message

    I have retried connecting several times including rebooting Window 10 getting the same result each time. The weird part about this is that it worked 5 minutes before my first attempt but now refuses to connect. Totally baffled any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey JB just saw this video after the last one I wrote you on.. This is the app I used on my Mac to Update My HOBBY WING xrotor ESC with blheli S. All went well up dated from A-H 16.6 to 16.7 but 2 of the tabs show the update with a bunch of ???????.?????. The other 2 show the appropriate firmware
    I tried reflashing the 2 and it won’t take or give me the option to flash.now I’m really lost.. never had this happen and it’s normally so easy..

    My quad disconnects from the BLHeli configurator when I connect the battery, can anyone tell me why?

  • @buddywarren3913
    @buddywarren3913 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I cant get blheli configurator or betaflight to connect to my quad, I loaded all the drivers but its just all confusing to me. Is it supposed to be as simple as download the program and the plug it in and go? this is the error code I get on BLHeli (This firmware version is not supported. Please upgrade to firmware that supports api version 1.16.0 or higher. Use CLI for backup before flashing. CLI backup/restore procedure is in the documention) Is there somthing Im doing wrong or is this a complicated procedure that no one has made any how-to video on

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You downloaded the drivers. Did you actually run the installer?

      Ok I found your other video explaining a bit more. I just used the zadig program and rebooted my computer but it doesn't say dfu its not even reading a com port now. This stuff is hurting my brain lol your help is very much appreciated

      I was thinking of trying the throw my computer in a lake and turn into a monk method

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't need to use Zadig unless you are trying to flash the board. And when you use Zadig, you install it over the STM32 Bootloader device, not the STM32 Virtual COM Port Device. If you install it on the STM32 Virtual COM Port device, as you did, then you screw up the driver. This is why you don't see a COM port any more.
      Plug in the quad.
      Go to the Device Manager and uninstall the STM32 Virtual COM Port Device.
      Reboot.
      Reinstall the CP210 and Virtual COM Port drivers.
      If you have done everything correctly, then you should see COM3 (or some other number) when you plug in the USB port.
      If, at this point, you cannot connect to the board, possibly you flashed the wrong target to the board. Have you flashed the board or is it factory default as delivered?

    • @buddywarren3913
      @buddywarren3913 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well passthrough should work, but if they are in some state where they don't work, the fallback is to flash them directly via the signal wire and an Arduino, or even via the C2 interface. You can always flash via the C2 interface, but it is a bit of a hassle.

    so where do you calibrate the ESCs on this I don't see the motor tab in this and so should I make the numbers on the end points and the minimum all the same there is no way of using this like the beta motor tap I thought the end points were supposed to be a little different or the minimum start up one of them idk the right way to say it PLEASE HELP I got nobody else. And most of the time I can't get all 4 esc to show up on this app sometimes only one shows HELP Me!!! no one flies drones around here where I live I can't get the other blheli to work for me at all but this kind of does

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      This app doesn't have a Motors tab for configuration. Just configure manually using Cleanflight or Betaflight Configurator.

So one more question are they all suppose to be the same? And I really appreciate you answering me the last question

      Brake on stop is really not for quadcopters. It's most applicable to gliders that have a folding prop and need the motor to stop freewheeling in the wind so the prop can fold back.
