Cleanflight Configurator is a crossplatform configuration tool for the Cleanflight flight control system.

It runs as an app within Google Chrome and allows you to configure the Cleanflight software running on any supported Cleanflight target.

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

Cleanflight Configurator was originally a fork of Baseflight Configurator with support for Cleanflight instead of Baseflight.

This configurator is the only configurator with support for Cleanflight 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.

1. Visit Chrome web store
2. Click + Free

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

1. Clone the repo to any local directory or download it as zip
2. Start Chromium or Google Chrome and go to tools -> extension
3. Check the "Developer mode" checkbox
4. Click on load unpacked extension and point it to the Cleanflight Configurator directory (for example D:/cleanflight-configurator)

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

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

If connecting Cleanflight Configurator to your flight controller's USB port does not work out-of-the box, follow this check-list:

1. After connecting, sudo dmesg should print a message similar to usb 2-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 17 using ehci-pci. If not, there may be a problem with your cable/FC.
2. FCs with USB Virtual Com Port (VCP) usually use USB CDC (Communications Device Class) ACM (Abstract Control Model) protocol. The driver cdc_acm (kernel option CONFIG_USB_ACM) should pick up the device, cdc_acm 2-1.1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device should appear in sudo dmesg.
3. The device file (usually /dev/ttyACM0) needs to be writeable by your user account. This is best achieved by creating a udev rule /etc/udev/rules.d/90-ttyACM-group-plugdev.rules that contains KERNEL=="ttyACM[0-9]", GROUP="plugdev" and ensuring you are in the plugdev group using sudo usermod -aG plugdev YOUR_USERNAME. Re-plug the device / logout & login for changes to take effect.

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