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.

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

Via chrome webstore

available in the Chrome web store

  1. Visit Chrome web store
  2. Click + Add to Chrome

Please note - the application will automatically update itself when new versions are released. Please ensure you maintain configuration backups as described in the Betaflight documentation.

Alternative way

  1. Clone the repo to any local directory or download it as zip.
  2. Extract to a folder and not the folder.
  3. Start Google Chrome.
  4. Click the 3-dots on the far right of the URL bar.
  5. Select "More Tools"
  6. Select "Extensions"
  7. Check the Developer Mode checkbox.
  8. Click on load unpacked extension.
  9. Point it to the folder you extracted the zip to.

How to use

You can find the Betaflight Configurator icon in your application tab "Apps"

Native app build via NW.js

Linux build is disabled currently because of unmet dependecies with some distros, it can be enabled in the gulpfile.js.

Development

  1. Install node.js
  2. Change to project folder and run npm install
  3. Run npm start

App build and release

The tasks are defined in gulpfile.js and can be run either via gulp task-name (if the command is in PATH or via `../node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js task-name':

  • dist copies all the JS and CSS files in the ./dist folder
  • apps builds the apps in the ./apps folder
  • release zips up the apps into individual archives in the ./apps folder. Running this task on macOS or Linux requires Wine, since it's needed to set the icon for the Windows app.

Notes

WebGL

Make sure Settings -> System -> "User hardware acceleration when available" is checked to achieve the best performance

Linux users

Dont forget to add your user into dialout group "sudo usermod -aG dialout YOUR_USERNAME" for serial access

Linux / MacOSX users

If you have 3D model animation problems, enable "Override software rendering list" in Chrome flags chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist
