Betaflight Configurator is a crossplatform configuration tool for the Betaflight flight control system.

It runs as an app within Google Chrome and allows you to configure the Betaflight software running on any [supported Betaflight target](src/main/target).

|
|
|
Various types of aircraft are supported by the tool and by Betaflight, e.g. quadcopters, hexacopters, octocopters and fixed-wing aircraft.

## Authors

|

Betaflight Configurator was originally a [fork](#credits) of the betaflight Configurator with support for Betaflight instead of betaflight.

|
|
|
This configurator is the only configurator with support for Betaflight 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/betaflight/betaflight/releases/).
