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.

There is also now a standalone version available, since Google Chrome Apps are getting deprecated on platforms that aren't Chrome OS. 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.

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.

This is the default installation method, and at some point in the future this will become the only way available for most platforms. Please use this method whenever possible.

Download the installer from Releases.

Deprecated, discouraged if a standalone version is available for your operating system.

1. Visit the Betaflight Configurator product page in the 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.

Unstable testing versions of the lates 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.

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

npm test

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>:

1. Optional, install gulp npm install --global gulp-cli.
2. Run gulp <taskname> [[platform] [platform] ...].

List of possible values of <task-name>:

• dist copies all the JS and CSS files in the ./dist folder.
• apps builds the apps in the ./apps folder [1].
• debug builds debug version of the apps in the ./debug folder [1].
• release zips up the apps into individual archives in the ./release folder [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).

To build or release only for one specific platform you can append the plaform after the task-name. If no platform is provided, all the platforms will be done in sequence.

• MacOS use gulp <task-name> --osx64
• Linux use gulp <task-name> --linux64
• Windows use gulp <task-name> --win32

You can also use multiple platforms e.g. gulp <taskname> --osx64 --linux64.

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 options menu of the application.

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