Betaflight Configurator for Smartphones! // SpeedyBee App 🏖️👍

[@engizmo]

Thank you speedy bee. Make a single bluetooth to USB dongle so we only need one dongle for all quads and I'll buy one right away! Up to $20 :)

[@Andre_M_3D]

I actually got to try it yesterday. I just received the OTG adapter and was able to try the app. I do like it and it seems to be quite complete. I only have a PC and have tablets and smartphone so it makes it much easier.

[@roansweetz2349]

Woww...Laptop problem solve.. tnxx you SpeedyBee amd Albert Kim for guiding us

[@xch3no2]

This app works great OTG on my old Moto E 2nd gen...I love it. - You do have to be careful not to change settings inadvertently while scrolling the page, but that's normal for android touchscreens.

[@baccarah7010]

This is going to be so useful for pid tuning in the field especially for me because i dont have any pc thats wirking rn, and no laptop.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic app, man. Really great! I would love to see something like that for Butterflight too...

[@Dav2112]

Oh, this will be super helpful for me, I also thought it was only compatible when using the SpeedyBee Bluetooth UART adapter, thanks for posting this. 🙂

[@AlbertKimTV]

That's what I thought originally and if that were the case, it's useless to me (and most others). Being able to connect via USB makes this app VERY useful!

[@FlySavageFPV]

Been using this for about two weeks in the field I like it

[@paulterl4563]

Why with my arfun95pro I cannot have angle mode?? Any idea?? Thanx

[@paulterl4563]

Happy Update: on the cheap tablet works again!!! I believe that the reason is that the cable seems to have a verse. I put it on the other way and worked again. THE SHORT CABLE, (THE ONE WITHE THE FEMALE USB) MUST GO AT THE FCB. SO, thank you very much to Albert and to the guys of this happy app. And happy flying to everyone!! Alleluja!😁

[@bronson0066]

Good find... Will be checking it out as soon as I see more info on this app.. Looks very promising!!!!

[@diggy2107]

Albert Kim I ordered the speedybee" bluetooth UART" adapter and then I realized that I didn't need it and all I needed was the OTG cable I plan on using for the tinyhawk with galaxy s7 I should be getting the tinyhawk in a couple days, I don't have a laptop computer so I am excited for this app

[@scottylawson9472]

I dismissed this also for the same reason. This is awesome to hear. Thanks Albert! Thumbs up to you also, unnamed KZbin subscriber! 👍😉!

[@dronereviewman9580]

This is really cool!!!! GREAT for micro quadcopters!! Man wish i was flying now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍😀👍

[@sapata1871]

Thx, Albert. Is that the RC3 cord.? Thats the one I use. With a dongle (note 8) (found short white cable in description)

[@paulterl4563]

Please help!!! Why on the arfun 95 pro with this app I cannot program angle mode??????????????? Please Albert or someone help me. Please.

[@reedzik]

Game Changer . No more laptop carrying.

[@BumpierDrake960]

Can you flash different version firmware with the app?

[@SkylineUSA09]

Tried this with my Babyhawk R and somehow it messed up my modes. The min value in SpeedyBee for the channels was different than Betaflight, and while swiping through the modes, it was too easy to accidentally make changes. Could be user error. Went back to BF to restore my settings from backup.

[@SilverTopFlyer]

How you doing Thanks for all of your knowledge. I was wondering do you know of any way to access the software on the flight controller of the h107d+.my barometer has gone wonky and I was wondering if I could disable the barometer in the flight controller.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Sorry, I don't know how to do that.

[@SilverTopFlyer]

Albert Kim thank you for getting back to me

[@CodeDotCarter]

Saw this about a week ago but declined using it because of a permission it requests. . Why would this app want to know your current location? Nothing to do with the apps function, but it asks for your location. Using Betaflight CM instead.

[@paulterl4563]

Intalled on Samsung phone. But do not see tge usb. Installed on a cheaper tablet. Work!! Tuned two micros. All okay. Wanted to fine tune one of the previous two, never worked again.!!.. Does not see the usb. Reinstalled the app. Nothing.

[@chads3308]

So glad I saw this video! Thank you!😁

[@BigDFPV]

I wonder if a Bluetooth wireless dongle will work with iPhone? If anybody knows please respond, thanks!

[@ChrisParayno]

THIS IS AWESOME!!

[@brandonpurdy7658]

The Note 8 comes with an adapter that takes a USB. I don't have an OTG cable so I use it and works perfectly.

[@AlbertKimTV]

nice!

[@Edramirez432]

Dang just read this comment an already ordered an otg cord

[@brandonpurdy7658]

Edward Ramirez I just threw it a box and never thought I'll use it again. I was also able to connect a flysky transmitter to my phone using it. I put my phone in a old set of VR goggles and was able use it with a simulator.This lil piece has opened up so many possibilities.

[@Edramirez432]

Brandon Purdy that's super coo man do u use the regular cable that goes to back of controller?

[@brandonpurdy7658]

Edward Ramirez Not the one that comes with it. That's only for updates. I bought one off of Amazon for $10. You can get it from BG for about $6.

[@bergfpv6486]

I have the mamba f722s stack, which has bluetooth boot in, so I can just connect straight from my phone via bluetooth. Everything seems to work flawlessly, with one exception. When I try to flash firmware to my FC, the Speedybee app seems to require a wired connection. Might be because, when you're flashing it, it can't run its bluetooth functions since it's not running.

[@sergeiiakimenko3648]

Instead of clunky OTG cable I got a small USB-C (host side) to micro-USB cable and it works great, no need to connect multiple cables

[@jagadishs9964]

Can we use this for NAZE32

[@DandEDigsNJ]

That phone looks like the galaxy s9 plus which I have and you should have gotten a otg plug in the box. That otg has the usb c port already on it. Not sure if someone mentioned that but I figured I'd share. Thanks for the videos one day I'll get a fpv race drone and actually fly lmao. Again thanks for the videos they are great and help us all. out.

[@DandEDigsNJ]

I also use it for the eachine otg receiver with the gofpv app and works great making my phone an fpv monitor for my furibee f36 which I mounted a camera to.

[@justme_12342]

Hope butterflight will make an app soon 😁

[@paulterl4563]

Hope the Speedy bee guys start to partecipate here, wouldn't be a nice thing??

[@vazza69]

Haha. Me to. Had a look at JB's video and dismised it. But this is nice!

[@brandonwoodford579]

Only question is, say your FC also powers you rx. Is the there going to be enough power from the phone to not burn out the FC?

[@AlbertKimTV]

If the current draw is too much from the phone, most phones will shut off power going out of the USB port. Also, you can't burn the FC from the USB port.

[@marksherman630]

Looks like maybe this would be even more convenient to use than goggles and transmitter for FC's with OSD ???

[@h2o-fpv623]

Really cool men I will try it but for now I have to configure betaflight in my computer but it's really nice thank u for the video

[@Rich-TeaFPV]

Really useful app😁 downloaded it for my tablet

[@miniquadsmegafun3619]

iPhones can’t use a cord right? It’s only Bluetooth? :/

[@transitionfpv6707]

Can you bind a f4 1s beta flight controller in this app how I'm triyin lol!!!!!

[@AlabamaBassPlayer]

I tried to use a cable into the micro usb port but it would not work. Is there something i need to do?

[@AlbertKimTV]

You need a special OTG cable (see links in description) and you need a phone that supports that feature. Otherwise it won't work.

[@AlabamaBassPlayer]

Albert Kim mine in a micro usb out of my phone. I just went micro usb to micro usb , but it wouldn't work I'll try the other one. Thanks

[@00indraable]

Thanks om Kim

[@daggergtfpv]

I have an iPhone so one comment said they think it does not work with iPhone. Damn it , is this true?

[@anxietyfpv6072]

Please let us know if u figure out how to use it with the iPhone

[@AlbertKimTV]

I've been told it won't work with iPhones.

[@thijss1272]

hmm something is not right haha. my betaflight version is 3.2.0 and my samsung a5 2017 does support OTG. andriod version is good aswell. but my phone does not seem to power up the flight controller? also tried it with the lipo plugged in

[@AlbertKimTV]

With a lot of stuff Android, there might be compatibility issues. It might support OTG but may not provide enough current to power up the FC. Or it could just be a bug...

[@thijss1272]

Albert Kim tried 2 quads but ill see

[@AlbertKimTV]

Try powering down the phone and turning it back on. Sometimes the OTG function is disabled if your FC is sending power back to the phone. It shuts it off to protect the phone.

[@thijss1272]

Albert Kim thanks. Ill give that a try

[@BobieFPV]

Will this work with butterflight bro?

[@AlbertKimTV]

I don't think it does but I have not tried it.

[@rccrazyuk2743]

Mine just comes up with cli comands i cant click anything else Pls help need to connect my turnight evolution to my zmr250 and can fly it Need to do the arm switches and fly modes ?????

[@AlbertKimTV]

Is the flight controller flashed with Betaflight 3.1 or higher? If it's an older version or you have Cleanflight flashed, that might be why it doesn't work.

[@rccrazyuk2743]

Albert Kim oh ok m8 thaks or reply will have a look

[@denihei]

Nice app, but i can't do change motor direction on this app,,too bad :(

[@AlbertKimTV]

you need blhelisuite

[@raydash2898]

So I can't just use a USB cable with a type c on one end and a micro USB on the other?

[@AlbertKimTV]

It needs to be an OTG cable.

[@raydash2898]

Ok I got my cable in today but when I plug it in my phone is not powering the FC. Do some flight controllers require the battery to be plugged in?

[@ferik.-aerodron1854]

Thank you for sharing this nice video - thumb up

[@BBooka]

Nice looks like the same as at computer version. (Y) With this could be easy to testing PIDs and other staff. Very good for on-field changes. (Y)

[@KddVrgO]

I have a note 8 like you but when I plug it in, it wont work. I got it to work once on my note 8 but it works without any issues on my cheap ($100) droid phone.

[@AlbertKimTV]

You might have a setup where something is connected to your flight controller and is drawing too many amps. The phone can power the flight controller but not anything else.

[@lowies1dubbing]

Betaflight Setpoint Weight and Transition doesn't work ! (latest version).

[@paulterl4563]

not posiible to calibrate on mine. and there is not angle. or at least not in the quad, at least. but is better than nothing, something it does. NEED A BETTER RELEASE (?) p.x. and you put let's say osd on, and the app put it on, and it's on but when yoiu reconnect with the app, the osd is marked off. Even if on the quad remain on. Weird. And those are to develop it better. No bad feelings here. Progress.

[@Mastertech6]

also is this a web based app. like beta flight?

[@AlbertKimTV]

No, it's an app you get from the Play Store

[@Mastertech6]

Thanks for responding, btw remove props!

[@paulmorris563]

John LaRocca, MDT the quad hasn't got a Lipo powering it so not necessary in this instance.

[@lucabenigni2169]

having a linux pc at the moment i'm going crazy with the drivers since i bought a drone rady to fly on which betaflight is already flashed i hope to be able to solve my configuration problems with this app thanks for this useful video

[@AlbertKimTV]

On Linux no need to mess with drivers if your build properly supports your hardware. If you can't see your FC then you've got a Linux install issue and to diagnose that would be way beyond the scope of this channel.

[@lucabenigni2169]

@@AlbertKimTV i unfortunatly cant connect the FC to betaflight but maby i can solve my configuration problem via phone using the Speedy bee up i Hope anyway thanks for your suggestion

[@soulfly391]

Could you bind a drone with this app?

[@AlbertKimTV]

If it's an SPI receiver, yes.

[@barryfredrick2731]

*Can you use your DATA and not WiFi?*

[@terryjames2975]

Does this still work

[@dugggins]

@3:49 420 DUDE!!!

[@videocrudo5954]

It Work same like betaflight? Because I don’t have laptop I only use my iPhone

[@AlbertKimTV]

It's similar, but not the same.

[@ken-kamm]

Does not work with Butterflight, correct?

[@AlbertKimTV]

I don't believe it does.

[@ken-kamm]

Bummer.

[@Fpv_Dad]

not yet

[@WhateverFPV]

Be careful with this app... I made a few changes in the app and it totally made my quads not fly. Specifically, it switched my receiver from TAER to EATR for my spektrum receiver. Of course I am on BF 3.3 and did not see the 3.1 disclaimer...

[@thatman8987]

me too only it put my throttle on the right hand going side to side.where do i change it back?

[@Mastertech6]

Are you using note 8

[@Mastertech6]

got it!! didn't finish vid.

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yes, Note 8

[@yodayedi2325]

Very nice.

[@gam3garage]

Wow, thank you. I paid a few dollars for one that looks a lot less refined than that. Anyone know if we can use this with Butterflight also?

[@brandonpurdy7658]

jakerock workshop No

[@gam3garage]

Thanks man. The one I use is called "Betaflight CM" and the dev says that changes to Butterflight via CLI page are totally fine.... Thats cool, but of course full compatibility would be wicked.

[@ken-kamm]

Hey Albert. FYI. OTG cable does not work with Apple devices.

[@AlbertKimTV]

So this idea won't work for Apple, only Android?

[@ken-kamm]

It will work for Apple using Bluetooth only. Android users have the option of Bluetooth or OTG cable.

[@arvidolin4318]

:(

[@sensemusicofficial]

theres a better one which just uses OTG cable

[@adepipin9977]

Cant i flash sp racing f3 evo brushed

[@AlbertKimTV]

I don't think you can flash from this app

[@isaaclyonsf1]

Cool!

[@mariopuzo4509]

NO FREAKING WAY!!!! SAWEET! ( don't have a computer)

[@WCO3]

Be careful I had it switch my gyro and pid loop frequencys to crazy numbers!! Lol Oscillation City. Also Dynamic filter notchs, needs to be set in cli. (Play store has a bare bones CLI app called betaflight CLI👍) Then I would recheck! The latest update seems to have fixed that tho...I think? Lol

[@AlbertKimTV]

As with anything new (and potentially buggy), caution is always advised!

[@krul23]

nice👍👍👍

[@k6lsn]

Does your phone have to be OTG capable, mines not. ZTE grand x max.

[@ChristopherPunton]

Phone has to be OTG if you use the cable yes

[@AlbertKimTV]

Yes, if it doesn't have OTG capability, it won't worrk.

[@suharsoapta5501]

👍👍

[@grumpypoof9648]

What is betaflight OSD? Complete noob here. All my stuff is in the mail right now so I've never messed with this. I've just been messing with $40 toy quads......

[@coltonrooster]

Does it work for iPhone? Asking for a friend...

[@AlbertKimTV]

No

[@crossfpv888]

👏👏👏👏

[@Jrock420p]

Hey anyone had any luck running this from a iPhone or iPad.

[@stevieg6616]

The Speedybee bluetooth usb adapter works great with iphone. I cannot get cable to work with my iphone or ipad. Also having an issue connecting with a bluetooth LE module connected to uart on inav fc. seems to be an apple thing. android works fine

[@paulterl4563]

IMPORTANT ERRATA CORRIDGE: the cable for me must have the short part (of the 2 parts) plugged into the app device. I had said the other way. Anyway... Happy flying!!!

[@smerkkwads3235]

Someone should make a fully functional version of betaflight to run on your phone so that you never have to use a laptop. All pilots usually have their smartphone with them.

[@AlbertKimTV]

This app is pretty much fully functional. I would like to know what you think is missing... Please let us know.

[@brandonpurdy7658]

This APP is very user friendly.
