<p>I am looking for a way to access to configuration of Blheli-S firmware running on a Diatone Mamba F30Mini:
<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/UVHPE.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/UVHPE.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<p>It seems possible using :</p>

<li><a href="https://github.com/bitdump/BLHeli" rel="nofollow noreferrer">BLHeliSuite</a></li>
</ul>
<p>There is explanation on different site about FC Passthrough. This seems to use connection to a Flight Controller.
As I am planning to use an Arduino nano to connect to the ESC, I am wondering how to make the connection.</p>
<p>Is it possible to connect more or less to connect the ESC to a PC ? or connecting through the arduino  ?</p>

I haven't tried either method because I've always done it through the FC, but the method described in this PDF (https://flyingmodscom.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/blheli-programming-adapters.pdf) and this article (https://reefwing.medium.com/configuring-an-esc-with-blheli-firmware-using-an-arduino-uno-9b8e5dafc1c5) might help you here?

@ifconfig Thanks, document seems providing good information. I need to dig into, to understand the ESC side connection, in its documentation there is 8 pins (GND, VCC, motor1-4, Telemetry & Curr)

[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/UVHPE.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/UVHPE.png)

It seems possible using :

* [blheli-configurator](https://github.com/blheli-configurator/blheli-configurator/)
* [BLHeliSuite](https://github.com/bitdump/BLHeli)

There is explanation on different site about FC Passthrough. This seems to use connection to a Flight Controller.
As I am planning to use an Arduino nano to connect to the ESC, I am wondering how to make the connection.

Is it possible to connect more or less to connect the ESC to a PC ? or connecting through the arduino ?

Thanks to informations given by @username_1, using [BLHeliSuite](https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dx6kfaasyo24l/BLHeliSuite) connecting :

* GND to Arduino GND
* ESC1 to Arduino D11

It allow to upload to Arduino the "Arduino Bootloader"

Then selecting "ATMEL BLHeli Bootloader (USB/Com)", and go to "ESC Setup" tab

Finally quite straight-forward, with a tool that may be more user-friendly.
