BLHeli_32 Server Down For Maintenance - Safety Critical Firmware

[MadRC]

Hi, first of all we are shocked and sad to see BLHeli stop trading and stop development on BLHeli_32.

There are customers who have purchased ESCs already with older firmware flashed from the factory with known potentially critical bugs that could cause harm and injury to themselves and others that are now no longer able to update via BLheli Suit as the servers are now offline.

We understand there will be no new updates however will you be providing users ongoing access to the last update V31.10 for BLHeli32 for all ESCs supported ?

Further more as you will no longer be providing updates there may be yet unknown bugs in BLHeli_32 32.10 that you will be no longer addressing.

As such will you be providing a bootloader unlock for users to allow them to install alternative software on their hardware.

I am sure you can appreciate the inherent risks around multirotors and the importance of safety in all aspects and being able to update or replace firmware is not only a basic user requirement but also will be required by many regulators around the globe where uas are used for commercial and industrial use.

We would appreciate some clarity on the future for current BLHeli_32 users who have supported the project and business.

Regards
