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 Seems out-of-date)
    

    SpeedyBee App
• Speedy Bee Betaflight App for Android. Works via Bluetooth or Micro USB cable (Micro USB requires OTG adapter for most devices)
  • Search for Speedy Bee at the Google Play store
• 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

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 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

CAUTION: You must disconnect all motors, or securely restrain your Cypher when making and/or testing configuration changes
