Configurator¶
The Rotorflight Configurator flashes, configures and tunes the flight controller. Run it in the browser at cfg.rotorflight.org, or install the desktop app -- see Downloads.
This section goes through every tab, in the order they appear once connected. Some tabs only appear when the feature behind them is on, and some fields only with Expert Mode on (the screenshots here are taken with it on).

These pages explain what each setting does. For step-by-step set-up -- servos, swashplate, governor, RPM filters -- see the Setup Guides.
