Betaflight Configurator
Betaflight Configurator is a crossplatform configuration tool for the Betaflight flight control system.
It runs as an application under different operating systems and allows you to configure the Betaflight software running on any supported Betaflight target. Downloads are available in Releases.
Various types of aircraft are supported by the tool and by Betaflight, e.g. quadcopters, hexacopters, octocopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
Authors
Betaflight Configurator is a fork of the Cleanflight Configurator with support for Betaflight instead of Cleanflight.
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.
Installation
Standalone
We provide a standalone program for Windows, Linux, Mac and Android.
Download the installer from Releases.
Notes
Windows users
The minimum required version of windows is Windows 8.
MacOS X users
Changes to the security model used in the latest versions of MacOS X 10.14 (Mojave) and 10.15 (Catalina) mean that the operating system will show an error message ('"Betaflight Configurator.app" is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.') when trying to install the application. To work around this, run the following command in a terminal after installing: sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Betaflight\ Configurator.app.
Linux users
In most Linux distributions your user won't have access to serial interfaces by default. To add this access right type the following command in a terminal, log out your user and log in again:
sudo usermod -aG dialout ${USER}
Post-installation errors can be prevented by making sure the directory /usr/share/desktop-directories exists. To make sure it exists, run the following command before installing the package:
sudo mkdir /usr/share/desktop-directories/
The libatomic library must also be installed before installing Betaflight Configurator. (If the library is missing, the installation will succeed but Betaflight Configurator will not start.) Some Linux distributions (e.g. Fedora) will install it automatically. On Debian or Ubuntu you can install it as follows:
sudo apt install libatomic1
Graphics Issues
If you experience graphics display problems or smudged/dithered fonts display issues in Betaflight Configurator, try invoking the betaflight-configurator executable file with the --disable-gpu command line switch. This will switch off hardware graphics acceleration. Likewise, setting your graphics card antialiasing option to OFF (e.g. FXAA parameter on NVidia graphics cards) might be a remedy as well.
Unstable Testing Versions
Unstable testing versions of the latest builds of the configurator for most platforms can be downloaded from here.
Be aware that these versions are intended for testing / feedback only, and may be buggy or broken, and can cause flight controller settings to be corrupted. Caution is advised when using these versions.
Languages
Please do not submit pull requests for translation changes, but read and follow the instructions below!
Betaflight Configurator has been translated into several languages. The application will try to detect and use your system language if a translation into this language is available. You can help translating the application into your language;
If you prefer to have the application in English or any other language, you can select your desired language in the first screen of the application.
App build via NW.js (windows/linux/macos) or Cordova (android)
Development
- Install node.js (refer to .nvmrc for required version)
- Install yarn:
npm install yarn -g - (For Android platform only) Install Java JDK 8, Gradle and Android Studio (Android SDK at least level 19)
- Change to project folder and run
yarn install. - Run
yarn start.
Running tests
yarn test
App build and release
The tasks are defined in gulpfile.js and can be run with through yarn:
yarn gulp <taskname> [[platform] [platform] ...]
List of possible values of <task-name>:
- dist copies all the JS and CSS files in the
./distfolder [2]. - apps builds the apps in the
./appsfolder [1]. - debug builds debug version of the apps in the
./debugfolder [1][3]. - release zips up the apps into individual archives in the
./releasefolder [1].
[1] Running this task on macOS or Linux requires Wine, since it's needed to set the icon for the Windows app (build for specific platform to avoid errors).
[2] For Android platform, dist task will generate folders and files in the ./dist_cordova folder.
[3] For Android platform, you need to configure an emulator or to plug an Android device with USB debugging enabled
Build or release app for one specific platform
To build or release only for one specific platform you can append the plaform after the task-name.
If no platform is provided, the build for the host platform is run.
- MacOS X use
yarn gulp <task-name> --osx64 - Linux use
yarn gulp <task-name> --linux64 - Windows use
yarn gulp <task-name> --win64 - Android use
yarn gulp <task-name> --android
Note: Support for cross-platform building is very limited due to the requirement for platform specific build tools. If in doubt, build on the target platform.
You can also use multiple platforms e.g. yarn gulp <taskname> --osx64 --linux64. Other platforms like --win32, --linux32 and --armv8 can be used too, but they are not officially supported, so use them at your own risk.
