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.
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.
