Cleanflight Configurator

Cleanflight Configurator is a crossplatform configuration tool for the Cleanflight 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.

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 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.
