Download the VESC Tool (or BLDC Tool)

The VESC software is the easiest way to get into your VESC and change its parameters.

This might be confusing because several programs are available, from different places. Let's try to make that a bit more clear.

BLDC Tool

That's the very first software that came out, made by Benjamin Vedder himself. It's still available on the original Git repository : https://github.com/vedderb/bld....

That software was available for Linux, Mac OS and Windows. You can find download links via Google. However, that program isn't updated anymore, a new one is available.

VESC Tool

That's the replacement of the BLDC Tool, it's totally new and up to date, it has a new UI, it's easier to use and offers help on almost every screens and buttons. It also allows you to update your VESC to the latest version. We recommend to use the VESC Tool if you can. You can find the source on Github as well: https://github.com/vedderb/ves....

You will find compiled versions of program on the official site: http://vesc-project.com/vesc_t..., for Linux and Windows.

The site offers different versions of the VESC Tool, but they are all identical. The paid versions are just a way of making a donation to Benjamin Vedder to thank him for his work (which I encourage you to do). Take whatever version you want, add to cart, complete the checkout process and you will receive an email containing the download link.

Extended BLDC Tool/VESC Tool for Ackmaniac's modified firmware

A fellow builder, Ackmaniac, has modified a VESC firmware and the BLDC tool to add custom modifications.

You can find that tool there. He then made a new version based on the VESC Tool, check it out here.

That version of the software is only for the modified firmware, do not use it if you use the normal version of the firmware.
