Total speculation, but every time I unplug from my Mac to take my quad over to my Windows machine to mess with my ESCs I wonder why there's not a Mac version. Is there a reason it's not on Mac, or can't be? Sorry if this is super ELI5, I'm just curious. Open the BlHeli Suite. Ensure you have selected the correct Atmel or SILABS 'Cleanflight' option under the 'Select ATMEL / SILABS Interface' menu option. Ensure you have port for your external USB/UART adapter selected, if you're using one, otherwise pick the same COM port that you normally use for Cleanflight.
Oscar has a great tutorial on this on his blog: http://blog.oscarliang.net/flash-esc-via...flight-fc/
However, I have a Mac and although I followed a tutorial (youtube.com/watch?v=17b1gNLL2uc) that uses wine to run BLHeli, I didn't think it was possible to also use the pass-through feature of CleanFlight to program with BLHeli. Well, it is!
If you haven't already set up wine to run BLHeli on your Mac, you will need to do that first. Then briefly, it's as simple as adding a couple of com ports in your wine configuration.
You will need to know the serial ports that CleanFlight uses on your Mac (in my case cu.SLAB_USBtoUART and tty.SLAB_USBtoUART). Then open terminal and go to dosdevices in your wine folder. In the screen shot below, you can see that com1 and com2 are already linked to my USB esc programmer devices, so I just added com3 and com4 as shown.
EDIT: I've boxed the necessary commands in Terminal: the 'cd' command puts you in the correct subdirectory. the 'ln -s' commands create the actual com3 and com4 links to the appropriate serial devices. Then in BLHeli, you will choose COM3 from the dropdown. [The other commands (ls -l) just show a list of the current devices in that subdirectory.]
Now, with your FC plugged into the cable you use for CleanFlight, start BLHeli and select the proper interface type and com port (COM 3 in my case).
Next, click Connect and you should see that four ESCs are detected - the little white boxes at the bottom. (Four for me anyway.)
Then - VERY IMPORTANT: Plug in your flight battery (you will remove the propellers!). [I really scratched my head before I realized I needed to power the ESCs.] Now, you are ready to click Read Setup. You should be rewarded with the beautiful screen shot below.
Click OK and program away! Good luck!
