# Cleanflight Configurator
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cleanflight Configurator is a crossplatform configuration tool for the [Cleanflight](http://cleanflight.com/) flight control system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It runs as an app within Google Chrome and allows you to configure the Cleanflight software running on any [supported Cleanflight target](https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanflight/blob/master/docs/Boards.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Various types of aircraft are supported by the tool and by cleanflight, e.g. quadcopters, hexacopters, octocopters and fixed-wing aircraft.

## Authors

|
|
||
|
|
Dominic Clifton/hydra - maintainer of the Cleanflight firmware and configurator.

|
|
|

|
|
Cleanflight Configurator was originally a [fork](#credits) of Baseflight Configurator with support for Cleanflight instead of Baseflight.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This configurator is the only configurator with support for Cleanflight specific features. It will likely require that you run the latest firmware on the flight controller.
|
||
|
|
If you are experiencing any problems please make sure you are running the [latest firmware version](https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanflight/releases/latest).
