Cleanflight - Configurator for Windows

Turn Your PC Into A Flight Board

Cleanflight Configurator is a free utility tool designed to allow you to use and configure your Cleanflight flight control system off of your system board. Instead of using flight boards to manually configure your aircraft, you can now just use your computer with Cleanflight Configurator and its interactive user interface. This app is open-source like Cleanflight and can be modified and improved by anyone.

See the Skies

First-person view (FPV), also known as remote-person view (RPV) or video piloting, is a method used to control a radio-controlled vehicle from the driver or pilot's viewpoint, commonly in conjunction with drones and RC or remote-controlled aircraft. Due to technological advancements, FPV has become a fast-growing hobby all over the world. There is a variety of RC aircraft on the market, differing in their number of rotors, like with the four-armed quadcopter and the six-armed hexacopter, and you can use them for various activities. While they are usually used for taking videos, either for recreation or surveillance, some are used for the fun sport of aircraft racing. But, whatever it’s for, you can’t fly your aircraft without your controls. 

Professional RC aircraft aren’t just those mere helicopter toys with the simple remote control of up, down, left, right, and the power button. They’re sophisticated equipment that needs to be learned and maintained properly to function. You need to make adjustments on your aircraft’s several features for it to function well enough when it’s airborne in the tempestuous place that is the sky. In essence, good equipment needs easy and efficient controls and maintenance for such a hobby.

Fine-Tune Your Mini Flyer

Cleanflight is an RC aircraft flight controller software for multirotor aircraft and fixed-wing aircraft’s modern flight boards. It supports a variety of shapes and motor counts, and more than that, it’s an open-source program that is an improved 32-bit version of the original 8-bit hardware support. Cleanflight runs on 8 different boards and can support enough sensors and CPUs for you to adapt it to your own custom flight controller board. It even includes accessories such as controllable LED strips, OLED displays, and SONAR sensors. Cleanflight is constantly being improved by its community in order to support more equipment in the future. However, if you’re new to the hobby or don’t have a flight board at the moment, these can be pretty pricey depending on your brand. For this dilemma, Cleanflight offers Cleanflight Configurator. It allows cross-platform compatibility, turning your computer into your own flight board. With it, you can now configure, calibrate, tune, and maintain your aircraft at the convenience of your PC. Unfortunately, while this is a handy tool, it only supports Cleanflight and no other flight controller software. It also adapts Cleanflight’s own shortcomings because of this and may force you to tune for every flight.

Only for One

If you’re an avid Cleanflight user, this configuration tool will be of much help to you. FPV is constantly looking for new ways to improve, and cross-platform control is a new thing to explore. However, you’re better off looking for other cross-platform tools if you’re not using Cleanflight since this one is exclusively under that brand, no matter how open-source it is.
