BLHeli - Configurator: A Chrome Extension for ESC Configuration

BLHeli - Configurator is a Chrome extension that enables users to configure their electronic speed controllers (ESCs) based on BLHeli right from their browsers. It supports SiLabs and Atmel BLHeli ESCs and allows firmware updates, saving users from the trouble of having to re-solder wires to change motor direction or the inconvenience of running BLHeliSuite on *nix or OS X via Wine.

You can now flash both SiLabs and Atmel BLHeli ESCs! Flight Controller passthrough is the only interface supported at the moment.

Tired of not being able to configure your ESCs because BLHeliSuite only supports Windows? Don't feel like using Wine to run it on *nix or OS X? No more re-soldering wires to change motor direction, no more hassle! BLHeli - Configurator is the hero we all needed and deserved.

Now you can configure all of your ESCs right from Chrome, as well as update their firmware.
