Betaflight Configurator

Betaflight

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.

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

Betaflight Configurator is a fork of the Cleanflight Configurator with support for Betaflight instead of Cleanflight.
