BLHeli Suite is powerful program for flashing, setting up and configuring your BLHeli or BLHeli_S ESCs.

OWON offers the best quality digital oscilloscopes, waveform generators, digital multimeters, power supplies, spectrum analyzers with competitive price. We're known as one of the most professional manufacturers and suppliers in China.

Why do you need BLHeli Suite ?

There a several reasons you may need to use the BLHeli Suite (or BLHeli Configurator). This is list of some:

  • Reverse the rotation of the motors (Props In or Props Out);
  • Upgrade the BLHeli firmware on your ESC
  • Change the BLHeli ESC parameters

BLHeli Suite or BLHeli Configurator?

BLHeli Suite is the most feature rich application for setting up the BLHeli and BLHeli_S ESCs. It is still maintained and time to time is updated. BLHeli Suite runs only on Windows platform. (BLHeli_32 Suite however is available on Win, Linux and MacOS platforms)

BLHeli Configurator is simpler, but user friendlier than BLHeli Suite.

BLHeli Configurator Chrome App is the same BLHeli Configurator, just it was originally distributed only as Chrome App. BLHeli Configurator Chrome App was last updated in the 2017. So this Chrome app is probably is abandoned. But it works and might be sufficient for you.

I would recommend the BLHeli Configurator for beginners and BLHeli Suite for advanced users.

How to download the BLHeli Suite and BLHeli Configurator?

You can download the BLHeli Suite (also the BLHeli_32 Suite) from here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dx6kfaasyo24l/BLHeliSuite

You can download the BLHeli Configurator Cross-platform application from here: https://github.com/blheli-configurator/blheli-configurator/releases

How to install the BLHeli Suite and BLHeli Configurator?

No special installation is required. You just need to unzip the contents of the BLHeliSuitexxxx.zip to any folder you want.

How to connect the BLHeli Suite to ESC ?

Start BLHeli Suite. Select the interface “SILABS BLHeli Bootloader (Cleanflight)” if you are connecting to the ESC via the flight controller (ESC is connected to the FC). Then select the port number that the flight controller is connected to and hit Connect button.

If you have sucessfuly connceted to the ESC, then the next step is reading the settings of the ESC or ESC’s. Hit the Read Setup or

The result will be shown in the dialog box.

How to reverse the rotation of the Motor?

In BLHeli Suite you need to connect to the ESC, then Read Setup and change the Motor Direction by moving the slider to the position 2 (Reversed).

Don’t forget to hit the Write Setup after you’ve made the changes. Have in mind that BLHeli Suite writes the changes for the selected ESC, so you need to select or unselect the ESC below.

Otherwise BLHeli Suite will write only to the first (master) ESC.

In BLHeli Configurator you can also change the Motor Direction by selecting Normal or Reversed (Bidirectional and BidirecitionalReveresed is used for 3D setups).

Flysky receivers and RSSI

Most of the Flysky receivers lacks one very important feature – RSSI. In fact none of the original Flysky receivers outputs RSSI information to the flight controller via one of the channel or telemetry link. Even calculating the Link Quality (LQ) by the lost packets is not possible if your Flysky receiver outputs iBUS signal. The best and most universal solution is to flash the alternative receiver firmware with RSSI signal calculated and injected into one of the channels (usually CH8 or CH14).

Supported receivers

  • IA6B – (Banggood, Hobbyking)
  • IA6C – (Hobbyking)
  • X8B – (Banggood)
  • iA8X – review here (Banggood)
  • A8S – (Banggood)
  • X6B – (Banggood)
  • 8A – (Banggood)
  • X14S – (Banggood)
  • Flit10 – Reported to work with the IA6B firmware. See here.
  • RX2APro/Pro V1 – Reported to work with the the A8S firmware. See here.

In fact all of these receivers (except A8S and 8A) are reading the RSSI and sending it back to the transmitter in the telemetry link. But no info is sent to the flight controller.

Hardware

You’ll need the ST-LINK programming adapter to flash the alternative firmware to the FlySky receiver. Any ST-LINK V2 USB adapter should work and can be obtained for less than 3$. (on Banggood , Aliexpress or Ebay)

Also you’ll probably need a few jumper wires for connecting the ST-Link adapter to the receiver programming pads.

Software

You will need to download and install ST-Link Utility: http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/development-tool-software/stsw-link004.html#getsoftware-scroll

ST-Link driver: http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/development-tool-software/stsw-link009.html#getsoftware-scroll

Firmware

The alternative firmware is kindly provided by Cleric-K and can be found in this github repository. The prebuilt images have two versions each – one which injects the Signal Strength into channel 14 and one for channel 8. All protocols (IBUS, SBUS and PPM) are supported.

Connecting the programmer

Most of the receivers have programming pads on the PCB board. Usually they are not labeled so you need to follow the pinouts supplied below. Connection

SWDIO <-> DAT
SWCLK <-> CLK
GND <-> GND
3.3V <-> 3.3V

RST signal should not be necessary unless “Connect under reset” is needed. None of the tested receivers requires this line, so don’t bother connecting it.

Golden rule: do not connect the 3.3V power from the ST-LINK dongle if your receiver is connected to external power source (Flight Controller, BEC or other). You should connect only GND, SWCLK and SWDIO lines in this case.

Installing software and drivers

Start the ST-Link Utility setup. Follow the installation process by simply clicking in the [Next] button.

ST-Link Utility setup usually also installs the required ST-Link USB adapter driver .

Plug the ST-Link USB adapter and check if the device is detected and driver is successfully installed.

Making the backup of the original firmware

First thing is precaution – you should always make the backup of the original firmware.

  • Start ST-Link Utility
  • Change Address field to 0x08000000 and Size field to 0x8000 (otherwise ST-LINK utility will save only the part of the firmware)
  • Select [Target] -> [Connect] from the program menu
  • Click [File] -> [Save file as…] and save your original firmware to keep a backup, just in case you would want to go back to your original firmware…

Note about the firmware backups: There are backups of the receivers original firmware in the Cleric-K repository, except the 8A receiver firmware – each of the 8A receiver has it own unique firmware with Unique device ID and checksum checking so you cannot restore the original firmware from the other 8A receiver. Do the backup!

Flashing the alternative firmware

  • Launch ST-Link Utility
  • Select [Target] -> [Connect] from the program menu
  • Successfully connected to the target and device type detected.
  • Select [File] -> [Open file…] and select the corresponding firmware file for your receiver
  • Select [Program & Verify…] from the “Target” menu.
  • Press [Start] button.

Features

  • Flashing the firmware
  • Firmware flashing finished successfully

You will have to rebind the receiver after the flashing of the alternative firmware, except the A8S and 8A receivers as they store the transmitter ID in the EEPROM and is not affected by the flashing process.
