Bafang BBSxx series, Apple Mac access to programming!!

Please note that the Ultra controller uses the same programing software the BBSxx series uses. If it works on a BBSxx, it will work on an Ultra. That said, I know you don't mess with Ultra's, and never mentioned Ultra anywhere.

I did not know that the new production BBSxx series motors were still UART based. I thought when Bafang switched the Ultra's, they switched the BBSxx's as well?
But you’re snarky comments are ok?
 
He was given a time_out.
You're next if you guys can't play nice!
If you can find it within yourself, please don't fan the flames. That helps nothing....
For those with ANY interest, Tom WAS NOT given a 4 month time out.....
 
This is amazing, and it seems like it’s going to save me as an Apple user $120 on an Eggrider, (or at least a 6 pack to borrow someone’s Android phone!)

I’m about to order everything for my first build (BBS02) and have some extremely noob questions about how to use this:

- I plug the Bafang USB programing cable into the USB port on my laptop (and into the motor via the display cable)?

- Then click open serial port?

- I can save settings versions with Save? And load previous saved versions with load?

- Any idea if this works with mobile browsers? I’m reading that the Serial API isn’t supported by mobile browsers but it would be great to use this on the go.

Thanks for humoring these very basic questions, want to make sure i buy the right stuff, and don’t melt the motor before my first ride😂😂

But I was and this is my niche.

I registered to this forum just to post this, after reading the nitpickering that followed the initial post... so many thanks for this contribution, I've been using the Windows .exe for a couple years but got stuck after switching to an ARM-based MacBook. Your web config worked like a charm out the box, saved me endless headaches with mapping COM/USB ports through VirtualBox!

FWIW, I believe Parallels works well on the ARM-based Macs for Windows emulation. I personally still have the last Intel-based MBP on which Parallels works perfectly - I have two Windows only apps that use COM/USB ports to connect to hardware and assignment/use is quite straightforward.
