bheli works great with the chrome app under linux,
so i buyed some bheli32, everything goes now to 32bit, why not, chips with 32bit does not cost really more nowadays.
Okay lets got the download site and get the latest suite…
oh wait, shit bheli32 is not open source anymore and it comes worse, only a windows tool for configuration -> holy shit
But not with us, lets install wine if you dont have it already (i used a old ubuntu version 16.04lts for it, but it should also work similar for other distros)
sudo apt-get install wine
verify we are allowed to access serial and are in the group dialout
groups
xeniter adm dialout cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare libvirtd
okay if not add the current user to dialout:
sudo adduser <your_username> dialout
then connect your quadcopter with betaflight >= 3.2 to your pc and see what serial it get mapped, enter dmesg to see latest kernel messages from the system
dmesg
[ 1323.376331] usb 2-1.4.2: new full-speed USB device number 9 using ehci-pci [ 1323.470627] usb 2-1.4.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0483, idProduct=5740 [ 1323.470633] usb 2-1.4.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 1323.470637] usb 2-1.4.2: Product: DysF4Pro [ 1323.470640] usb 2-1.4.2: Manufacturer: Betaflight [ 1323.470643] usb 2-1.4.2: SerialNumber: 0x8000000 [ 1323.471149] cdc_acm 2-1.4.2:1.0: ttyACM1: USB ACM device
in this case we got “/dev/ACM1” lets map this to the virtual windows COM port1:
ln -s /dev/ttyACM1 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1
Finally start with wine the windows executeable:
xeniter@ubuntu-werkstatt:~/Downloads/BLHeliSuite32_32500$ wine BLHeliSuite32.exe
After the gui opens click on connect and have fun setup your esc under linux (:
