Betaflight Configurator Is Dead. Here is its replacement.

[@sanpol4399]

Joshua, I just got the Baby Hawk, and did not know how to set up the flight modes. I never used the BetaFlight, completely not familiar with it. I saw this video to get the BetaFlight and your other vídeos about how to use it and everything worked at the first try. Lot of time saved here. THANK YOU MAN !

[@engizmo]

Great. Does this mean they can add all the usb drivers into the install so we stop having run all the other apps when we need to flash and upgrade FCs?

[@rustygolfer3475]

Thanks for the timely video. I was freaking out last night because none of my quads would connect. They connected but only CLI was available. Hope this is the fix I needed.

[@LazerLord10]

When I first used the configurator, it seemed a bit weird that it ran in chrome and wasn't its own program. IDK, that was just my initial thoughts when I first used it.

[@seattleitefpv]

Agreed

[@AZOffRoadster]

The benefit was cross platform operability. The drawback was... relying on one company to provide it.

[@deeeeeds]

It's kind of a weird use case but it's not that strange. The Chrome APIs allowed a really easy and safe way to access serial devices that was cross platform, it allowed rapid development by utilizing web frameworks, and notably it allowed easy auto updating. An added bonus was it would work on Chromebooks as well.

[@lf5133]

After reading comments one guy mentioned bad USB cable I changed mine and everything started working. Wish I’d read it 4 hours ago . Lol. Thanks for your help. Love your content and appreciate your dedication.

[@patrickcol]

Just to note that many Mac users will find that they get a message saying something like 'Unable to Verify when you try to run the app' as it isn't from Apple or an identified developer. In which case you will need to go Apple Menu/System Preference and choose the Security and Privacy icon. On the General tab, click on the locked icon at the base of the window, type in your login password and you should be able to select the Open Anyway button and confirm.

[@stevecorwonski385]

It's been a while since I used a mac, but I believe if you control+click and select open it should allow you to run the app without having to go through all that hassle.

[@patrickcol]

Not for quite a while now which is why Macs are relatively free of malware and viruses.

[@randomwisdom845]

By the way, the new standalone configurator actually has open source version of Chrome inside - that's the reason it takes almost 100MB. It launches Chromium and then the typical app on top of it. So basically every Chrome app can be re-made this way to run on Chromium as a standalone.

[@logo8009]

It looks like a lot has changed over the winter. Thanks for the update!

[@rl2109]

Thanks for this great info...! I appreciate all you do to keep us 'average joes' informed! Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year too!

[@psychwardfpv4353]

Has BLheli released a stand alone or in the process and if not is there a way to change the motor directions in BetaFlight if wires were connected backwards? I saw a build video where the motors were soldered to the 4 in one so that wires never overlapped for a clean looking build. BLHELI was used to configure the proper rotation.

[@mbelazrag]

BLheli always had a stand alone app for both S and 32

[@tezzasbigbuz3933]

WORKS!! Thanks so much solved my problem and got my drone connected within seconds

[@chrisr112887]

I’ve been using the blheli config from google chrome apps. Where do I find the downloadable version?

[@lucasg2504]

Chris romano there is none, they probably won't make one either:(

[@OriginalGingaNinja]

Chris romano just search for blheli suite and you'll find it. It was around before blheli configurator and is still updated although doesn't look quite as slick. Note that there's a separate version for blheli_32.

[@chrisr112887]

OriginalGingaNinja yea I found the suite. Completely lost on how to use it.

[@OriginalGingaNinja]

Chris romano Yeah sadly not as intuitive at all. In short hit connect, then read. Use the numbers at the bottom to select the esc you want to configure and hit write when your done. You should work it out pretty quickly with a bit of clicking around. The chrome app was much nicer, although didn't support blheli_32 anyway.

[@DanielColson]

They have a standalone version on their releases page: github.com/blheli-configurator/blheli-configurator/releases

[@RCFlyer85]

Still wondering what's going to happen for us with Chromebooks who will still have access to chrome apps as far as I know.... As of yesterday my chrome app did update to the new configurator 10.0.0

[@indus49]

Bump! What's gonna happen to us?

[@aldenjames5611]

they're supposed to keep apps on chrome os for the future

[@RCFlyer85]

Alden james Yeah we know that but will the BetaFlight devs still support it?

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

The real question is "will the chrome app continue to be updated"

[@RCFlyer85]

Adrian Chapmanlaw That's what I was getting at

[@VincentFischer]

On macOS: as always mount (double click) the dmg file and drag betaflight to your application folder. Open it. Most likely macOS will complain about an unidentified developer. Go to System Preference-> Security & Privacy, in General Tab click on "Open Anyway" Button. Done. If you are using gentoo/funtoo: I will add betaflight to portage soon

[@blackmennewstyle]

I'm using GNU/Linux and i don't have a white beard lol Betaflight was the only reason i was currently from time to time using Chrome so now i have a very good reason for totally uninstalling it from my computer :D Yay! Firefox for life

[@1Hippo]

And now you can install a 177 MB (decompressed) BF configurator, which contains a full chromium runtime... Other apps also start doing this and you end up with a dozen Chromes on the disk. It is also often complicated to split/extract and properly package these for Linux, so that it uses only one "chrome" (electron, nwjs, etc.) installation for all apps, like it should. I expect this to be completly hopeless on Windows/macOS, btw. It will probably be normal there to have these insanly big executables, for web apps, after all.

[@ericdolphy8320]

Yes but that's chromium and not chrome ;-) Happy to get rid of Chrome too. Linux users won't be the loudest crying fool : they'll use a filesystem which support repplication so 177Mo x 12 apps will be 177Mo on the disk anyway And for other systems, that will make a use for the Tb of nowadays HD

[@teuluPaul]

My own view as well. Chromium is only installed here because of the configurator - I don't use it for any thing else! Good bye chromium...! Actually, I quite liked the approach to use the chrome apps environment. I guess another cross platform option is electron, as used for the atom editor. Oh, and Joshua - I have used linux for >20 years, and still no white beard!!

[@melgibson6331]

Ff quantum is built ontop of chrome...google has its claws into everything, github is as bad before and after it was sold.

[@DroneyMontana]

Thanks for the info man! I appreciate your vids, and I've learned a shit ton from them. I thought this was an old vid til I looked at the date and was like "holy shit!". Again, thanks and keep em comin!

[@anthonyeckersall5466]

Hi there. Thanks again for this info. What are we Todo with MWOSD configuration app. That app was a paid for Google chrome app, is that being killed too, and if so who do we contact about that, there seems to be no direct link for support?

[@LeadFoot944]

Joshua, thank you for taking the time to explain this to us.....I learned something today!

[@007johndog007]

Sometimes I wonder how I would get by with out this channel!! Thanks for the update and all the knowledge you give us!!

[@duckslave]

Just tried the standalone configurator - when I press "save and re-boot" it hangs - I have to unplug and re-plug the quad to get the screen to refresh and then have to press reconnect. I don't see an "auto-connect" feature.

[@duckslave]

Scratch my comment - I restarted the PC and the standalone Configurator works fine - so, restarting the PC after installing the Configurator seems like a good idea!

[@deniedaccess4544]

Thanks Josh, it is good we have someone letting us know when things change before we freak out when it stops working.

[@henrischomäcker]

Wow! I'm so glad they also created a linux version. Since years there's no reason for me to run Windows or a MacOS on my machines and I don't own a license of windows any more which I had to buy If I had to run a Windows version on a virtual machine. Many, many thanks to the betaflight coders!

[@slicksix8892]

Jeez, were would we be without you Sir. Thankyou for the info as alway Mr bardwell👍😉

[@punisher79fpv42]

I have a question about upgrades of FC software. Lets say my quad runs on 3.1.6 and I flash the FC software to a newer version. Do I need to retune the pids or can we asume pid settings for the older version are valid for the newer one?? Thx in advance ...

[@Solar_Apartment]

What shall we do about the BLHeli chrome app?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

For now you can use BLHeliSuite under Windows. The Chrome app dev could port it to O/S native if he wants to.

[@aussieadventurenerd8137]

Sooo you're saying us mac users can't configure or update our ESCs for now? 😤

[@DanielColson]

They have a standalone version too: github.com/blheli-configurator/blheli-configurator

[@DanielColson]

Nope, no need to compile it. Look on the releases page. The Mac version is just a .dmg file that you can run. github.com/blheli-configurator/blheli-configurator/releases

[@fpvpilot5247]

Hopefully as an actual app the blackbox explorer will be able to open multiple instances.

[@t.j.ziegler4567]

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux

[@FJB2024_]

GNU is not UNIX! iOS is mostly GNU.

[@theflyingace4148]

Since ever I have wondered why it is not standalone app. And having such apps was actually my only reason having Google Chrome installed. This is all progress from my point of view. I think it would give us option of updating in app itself in some later version, but from my point of view, thumbs up for stand alone app! Downloaded. Going to play little bit and try it out :) Big thanks on your unlimited, unconditional contribution bro!

[@CodeChief]

I think it'd be wiser advise, especially for new users, to stay on the auto-updating Chrome app until the stand-alone app has a self-update feature implemented. Good to know and also how to find it via a web (not store search). But the likelihood of configuration errors due to new/older manual configurator installs on different devices are more of a headache than Google finally disabling the Chrome app many months/years later . Hopefully the Betaflight team put the self-update feature at high enough priority to be out before that happens. Also it's a bit rubbish that Google don't still have a "store" listing for non-Chrome apps. Betaflight should publish it in the Windows, Mac and various Linux stores then. That would also solve the auto-update without having to write own software (just a build-package-release to each OS specific store instead).

[@tonyhouk9047]

Joshua,Do you think this Betaflight configuator and the Blheli 32 suite will run on one of the windows tablets? Thanks, Tony again

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Tony Houk yes for sure.

[@danielzawerton7023]

Hello Joshua, Thank for all your great videos, How will this affect BL Heli ?

[@Gdawg815]

Joshua great video as always! Thank you for the heads up. :) It sucks that people think that Linux is for nerds when it is easier to use and maintain then Windows. Being that I have used both Windows and Linux I think that windows takes more technical know how than Linux, depending on the distro. since people have grown up using windows it seems "normal" and not nerdy to use. I'm just glad I am not missing out on getting to use Linux. :)

[@gking6689]

Do I need a capacitor to use with bardwell f4 fc to on safe side?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I never would tell somebody NOT to use a capacitor, but I personally don't install them unless I see problems (yaw twitch, etc).

[@EliasLabordus]

Thanks for the super fast notice Josh!

[@bluelobster56]

Nice. I actually learned more than one thing ‼ 👍

[@buggzy99]

Hi Joshua, big fan of your video's and you even convinced me of buying the taranis x9d special edition ( i went for rockstar monster shemes though), well, just watched this video and i would like to correct you, im running mac with google chrome just for the apps and BL heli does work on mac with chrome, been using it for over a year now without any problems.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

You are talking about the BLHeli Chrome app, not BLHeliSuite.

[@buggzy99]

yup, sory, my bad :)

[@jester3265]

Massive thanks Josh, what would we do without you!!

[@carlwilliambell]

This is good, downloaded and tested Betaflight, Brovo. I guess I can only hope for the same from BL Heli Suite and Black Box for my MAC

[@ror-ys3qp]

so how do you load a v3 of betaflight...configure program does not give me that option thanks

[@jimbubbatube]

What about our dinosaurs that only run on Cleanflight 1.2 or similar outdated configurators?

[@SvPVids]

yes, also the BLheli suite

[@babeldzen]

Just keep them installed! You can backup the configutators too, just in case you had to ever reinstall Chrome

[@Wind1000100]

BLHeli Suite is standalone, BLHeli configurator is the one on the Chrome store.

[@elisa180789]

Thanks Joshua! I would not be able to set many things on my quads if it wasn’t for your videos!

[@jimmac]

Very soon, the Linux binaries will be available as flatpak, so it'll come with updates. github.com/alexlarsson/io.github.betaflight.BetaflightConfigurator (very soon on flathub.org)

[@GeorgeCooper_LoneWolf]

Hi Joshua, this information is very much appreciated. After hearing about this awhile ago I was wondering what was going to happen to betaflight, so thank you.

[@corycanfield545]

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all your hard work you put into everything you do every time I have a problem you always have the solution it's unbelievable I've been fighting with the betaflight app trying everything to get it to work an right when I'm about to give up boom a new notification about betaflight being dead the timing was perfect I'm setup an running thanks a bunch keep up the awesome work

[@reggiestone730]

Thanks for the info. Are you wearing black in this vid to signify mourning for the Configurator? 😎

[@gavlarfpv7841]

Nice 1 JB. Just installed the windows version, your the man👌🏻

[@lovefpv7786]

Hey Joshua, I think the time of year is to blame, but you got Linux users and Santa mixed up. BTW, even running BLHeliSuide32 on Linux is a lot easier than you think, just run it in wine. OK, OK, Linux makes a video or two of yours obsolete because you just don't need to worry about those zadig etc. drivers, and I'm sure you wouldn't like that.

[@GroundControlRC]

Yep! Fire up WINE and you're good to go ;-)

[@DanielColson]

There's also a BLHeli configurator Chrome App (which now has a standalone release) that I've been using on Linux for quite a while now: github.com/blheli-configurator/blheli-configurator

[@GroundControlRC]

Thanks for the info and the link ;-)

[@dstaron3162]

I wish Linux had a Zadig etc., I never got my drivers to work on Linux.

[@DanielColson]

Drivers for what?

[@redneonrt]

Any word on the Black Box log viewing app?

[@AZOffRoadster]

There lies my concerns.

[@FJB2024_]

will continue to work on any $99 chromebook. chromebooks will still run chrome apps.

[@friedricefpv7235]

When are we gonna get an F-port info and setup video? Maybe once frsky releases official rx firmware?

[@WhoFPV]

Hey Joshua, thanks for all your help along my FPV journey. I'm at a loss for options to execute. I flashed two new boards with their proper target and both have gone kaputz. One doesnt get detected anymore, the other will go back into dfu mode anytime i i save and reboot. Boot button not stuck. DYS f4 Pro V2. I thought at first maybe its the boards, but no my buddy didnt event flash his board and only hit save and reboot on my comp and his now goes into DFU mode anytime we plug for the first time. So to sum it up Im able to connect only in DFU, I can flash, afterwards COM 3 shows up I can connect. After save and reboot in Config page it goes straight back to DFU. Any ideas? Im working off a Mac, but I even went to best buy to get a windows laptop to attempt your Solutions with Zadig. Same thing in windows. I love problem solving but this is out of my range and I dont want to risk another board. Thanks

[@johnvanjammin3282]

thanks for the vid but link only shows 10.9. Happen to have a good link for old betaflight for F3 boards? Trying to connect 4-5 perfectly good old quads. Thanks!

The same

[@ASJC27]

So are there different links to install these or is it the same link?

[@dominikkammer2478]

github.com/betaflight/blackbox-log-viewer-ng/releases github.com/4712/BLHeliSuite/releases I think that's it. :)

[@marcplace6531]

Do you know if this is like the chrome version of blheli or the version we used to download before the chrome app came about. If it's the old version if blheli does anyone know if a chrome like version is being created?

[@ZeroFPV]

BLheliSuite always was much more powerfull than the Chrome App. Don't understand why someone does want and BLHeli App in the Chrome style.

[@edwardsunnyboy]

but what about blheli configurgator :( I dont want to be stuck with that old blheli suite again :(

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Andrey is working on porting it over. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpOriJ-vid-AZ8U

[@brandonwoodford579]

Hey Joshua, you've probably already got this message but, what are we supposed to do for black box? Has Google not done anything to Blackbox Explorer? Thanks -Brandon

[@MrModelflyer]

Will BL Heli suite ever be released for MAC? Configurator on Chrome works perfectly albeit a cut down version.

[@Dixie9mm]

Does anyone know why I would only have one flight controller that does not show the craft moving when I rotate the flight controller on the set up tab?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Dixie9mm accelerometer disabled?

[@tomallenfpv1256]

Thanks for the video. I'm taking in everything you say every time you post a video

[@FPVSkittles]

What about the BL Heli Configurator? Is there a stand alone app for that?

[@VladTepes44]

Another slightly annoying thing about chrome apps is they are Chrome extension so downloading an app on a PC will download it on every other PC that are linked to the same google account. Now I have BLHeli and Betaflight configurators on my work PC. :/

[@DanielColson]

There are checkboxes in the Chrome sync settings to choose what to sync. You can uncheck apps/extensions.

[@VladTepes44]

Indeed. I would never have fount that by myself. :x

[@pointnozzleaway]

very glad I saw this ! just bought a laptop to dedicate to tuning my micro quads...just learning BF

[@lf5133]

Joshua.....I did the download and none of my fb's will connect. The download went as you explained unzipped the file, Betaflight opens up but noting connects. What could I have possible done wrong. Do need to also install the drivers again?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

You shouldn't need to install the drivers again if they were working before.

[@tjwrongwaymead8374]

I have the latest 10.2.0 or whatever it is and it is definitely not compatible with many of my fc's. So to set up new quads I have been using Speedy bee on my Android tablet.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I don't see why not.

[@mrbumpfpv2051]

Hi Joshua (love your vids), after watching this video I decided to "update" one of my quads from cleanflight 2.1.0 to this betaflight 10. An interesting thing I found is that my other cleanflight quads won't connect to the betaflight software BUT the upgraded betaflight quad will connect to both the betaflight 10 and cleanflight 2.1.0 software and seems to accept and save changes in both. Is this expected??? ... does this mean if I put all my quads onto betaflight 10 that I can use either betaflight 10 and cleanflight 2.1.0 to make my PID setting changes without issues???

[@luisrodrigues1630]

What about the app to flash the Esc's? And the black box app? Will we be able to keep using them?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Luis Rodrigues there is always blheli suite in case the dev of the chrome app decides not to make a native version. Presumably black box will also go native.

[@matthewwilliams3544]

What do we do about our rates and pids? Cli dump? Or will they just export of our fc?

[@tonydrony1320]

Most likely your internet or your PC. Sorry :-(

[@charliedoubl]

thanks for announcing this. without you saying anything i probably would've just been wondering why betaflight isn't working anymore:p

[@-Jantje]

I still see "Betaflight App" in Chrome App store. did they then insert it back into the chrome app store?

[@yonallb]

Here is hoping the guy who did the blheli chrome app hooks it up again. I am still trying to avoid buying windows for my mac.

[@patrickcol]

And iNav, and BLHelli and Blackbox. Hey this is bad!

Thanks for the heads up

[@du4-fpv777]

So now we can use it on older versions of windows? Which Chrome quit working on? Thanks for the update!

[@Super-fj7ir]

Is that a Horus X10S you got there?

[@brianbailey5714]

Any thoughts on blheli (not 32)? Can I still flash my ESC's to the latest DShot commands firmware with the chrome app?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The Chrome app is being updated to a standalone executable so yes.

[@pemtax557]

Thanks Joshua ... once again on top of things. Cheers, dave

[@fuzzytech3846]

Tell you the truth I was never excited about having to use a chrome app in the first place and wanted a real standalone program. Plus now I can uninstall Chrome! As long as betaflight survives and it's easy to find I'll be happy

[@babeldzen]

For a moment I freaked out, but phew! Thanks for the update Joshua!

[@belowzerokustomz]

I have followed directions to a T. When I try to run betaflight it says it can not find an entrance with a kernel 32 dll error. I'm using Windows. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

This usually happens on Windows XP or Vista, which are too old to run this app. Time to upgrade.

[@Baigle1]

many linux users are adamantly against the built-in spyware practices that the 3 big software companies hide in their operating systems. the stereotype that a mac user has more money than brains, or that linux users are more geeky or computer literate on average is simply not true. linux for one needs more programs to have native support of the platform because right now the only thing holding it back is strong developer support for these types of applications and gaming. google removing apps and the functionality to manage plugins everywhere except enterprise policy files is both a pro and a con for the long term security of the browser. Any more crazy changes that makes the browser unfit for business or personal use might see a strong migration to firefox quantum instead.

[@amisoftau2659]

Linux as open source software also much more closely matches the free sharing community spirit of the FPV and RC hobby, and especially matches the open source flight controller firmware products we all know and use and love - CF, BF, INAV, and ArduCopter. The internet now runs on a majority of Linux servers, and Linux was born from and is the first child of the internet.. was only possible due to the world wide free sharing of information and development. Free and open development has many benefits, including the highest tech., fast development and fast problem resolving, and freedom from hacks, malware, virus infestations and inappropriate commercial manipulations. Just the facts :).

[@Baigle1]

Ramen brother.

[@FedericoCzerwinski]

That's exactly right. I was very surprise by hearing Joshua talking like that about the linux community. Shame on him, he should be praising Linux and its community, not the other way around. In fact, Joshua being the nerd he is, I'm surprised he's not using Linux himself but Windows.

[@davelightfoot2913]

Hi Josh. I tried to install Betaflight on my Macbook. When I try to run it and it pops a dialog and says it is Verifying and eventually times out. Any ideas?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

There is some way you need to white list it in your security settings.

[@davelightfoot2913]

Just an FYI. Got it to run on the Mac. Was a security issue. Thanks. Settings Security and Privacy General - Allow apps download from Anywhere Reboot They try Betaflight again. Eventually it asks if you are sure you want to run. Say yes.

[@aussiesmulticopteradventures]

KISS has been doing this for a while now. I'm glad BetaFlight has caught up. I do like the stand alone version of KISS better so hopefully the BF will be awesome as well. I learned something today Cheers

[@vladmirputin7139]

So what about blackbox viewer?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

It is easy for devs to convert a Chrome app to an O/S native app. There are toolkits that can do it. So it will be easy to do. Someone just has to do it. Maybe they already have!

[@RCSurf]

excellent , what about BL heli app

[@HelenskinzNZ]

Very helpful vid, thanks very much, that clears that up. I have the Zip, I extracted it but I cannot find the .exe to launch it? Not in there? Cheers...
