Disclaimer

This software is provided as is, use it at your own risk. ALWAYS REMOVE THE PROPELLERS and power your ESCs via a current-limiting device or power supply.

Adding a new BLHeli revision or new supported ESC

You can submit pull requests to js/blheli_versions.json and js/blheli_escs.json files, user installations of BLHeli Configurator will see the changes shortly.

Building

This project uses ReactJS, JSX and some modern ECMAScript extensions and depends on npm for building. Following the initial checkout, you have to run:

npm install

After that, to actually compile all the required .jsx files, run:

npm run build

Usage

Having enabled Developer Mode in Chrome, navigate to chrome://extensions/ and use Load unpacked extension..., providing path to the root directory of your working copy.

Launch the application, plug your flight controller into a USB port, press Connect, power your ESCs. If you run into problems while working with the program, make sure to copy Developer's Console output as well as save log using the Save Log button.
