Configuration Tools for Betaflight - Notes and Links
Various FV-31 Cypher FLEXF3 settings can be edited using a BetaFlight Configuration Tool. We use the following ones. Only one configurator install is needed. Multiple links to multiple platforms and versions are provided below.- BetaFlight Configurator For Windows PC (Typically a Windows 7, 8, or 10 PC will use the Asset with name "betaflight-configurator-installer_<version>_win32.exe"). Works via Micro USB cable. Versions for Mac OS X and Linux may also be available, though Flex does not test or support these versions.
- Latest Betaflight Configurator Releases
- V10.51 Betaflight Configurator (known working)
- May also available through the Chrome Web Store (Flex Innovations does not test or support. Seems out-of-date)
- Speedy Bee Betaflight App for Android. Works via Bluetooth or Micro USB cable (Micro USB requires OTG adapter for most devices)
- Speedy Bee Betaflight App for iOS (Apple Iphone and Ipad). Works via Bluetooth.
- Search for Speedy Bee at the App Store Last Flex tested version: 1.2.8
- Speedy Bee and Betaflight Configurator interfaces are nearly identical. Common instructions can be used for both platforms.
Use a Configuration Tool to Set or Reset the Angle/Six Axis Level
- NOTE: The wing leveling six axis mode is named ANGLE mode in Betaflight lingo.
- Place your Cypher on a level surface. Check that wings are level. You may want to shim the nosewheel up 2-5mm to set a more positive angle. (The angle relates to trim speed and can be set to taste).
- Connect to your configuration tool and navigate to the Setup page.
- With the Cypher level per above, click the Calibrate Accelerometer button.
- Note the settings are now zeroed out. You are finished. Disconnect.
Troubleshoot ARMING Difficulties
- Click this link to see notes on trouble shooting including a complete list of Prevention Flag Meanings
- Review notes at link above for Betaflight 3.5
- Note your Cypher's Arming Disable Flags using the Betaflight Configurator on the Setup page in the Info box at right.
- Some common (beep code) Examples:
- (2) RX_Failafe - Rx signal indicates Failsafe
- (3) RXLOSS - No valid Rx signal found - Check Tx and Rx on and bound and connected
- (7) THROTTLE - Throttle too high - lower throttle
- (8) ANGLE MSP - Cypher must be level within 25 degrees to arm
- (13) CLI - CLI mode is active - Exit CLI
- (17) MSP - Connected to Configurator - Disconnect
