Chrome App Store is closed (affecting betaflight etc)?
#16
The apps for BLHeli_32 and BLHeli_S work just fine under Wine on Linux, so there's no problem there.

I've disabled updates for Chrome on my Linux system now. That way, at least I'll be able to keep and run older versions of the CF/BF configurators and also keep the BLHeli Chrome app and the paid for MW_OSD app.

I don't use Chrome for surfing, so keeping an outdated version doesn't have any security implications for me.

Although I have not tried, but you can keep two versions of Chrome.

I don't think it actually matters if the OS is 32 or 64 bit. The configurator is still written in Javascript and as a language, it doesn't care about how many bits the underlying OS has.

This app should still run on 64 bit windows versions.

It runs fine on my X64 based laptop, so at least my machine does not care it is a Win32 app.

Thank you are posting the link to blackbox explorer, s3npai!

It's a PITA for Linux and Mac users. Chrome App is/was a great solution to compatibility.

Just for reference, I just built up a Halo Archon with Spedix BLHeli32 35A escs, then realised the BLHeli chrome app doesn't work with 32 bit BLHeli ESCs. Then I found your post about BLHeli Suite for the new 32 bit escs. I use a mac, and this windows software runs fine using WINE. To access the COM port in WINE you must symlink the macOS USB port like so
Code:
ln -s /dev/ttyUSBn ~/.wine/dosdevices/COM1
I used this not only alter two of the motor directions, I successfully flashed the ESCs with the latest BLHeli32 release.

It's annoying to find that the new black box explorer does not have a release for Linux.

there goes the portability and ease of use... hope folks will remain on the "i don't care what system you have got there mate".
what im affraid ... Java or Lua will be the direction to go... as they work basically everywhere...
All the best

All the apps are being re-jigged to run with NW.js.

That lets developers keep all the Javascript code that was run inside Chrome and run it stand-alone under the executable version of NW.js.

So, all the platform portability will remain. It just requires that the developers can build the application for each platform.
