Presets

Presets are ready-made snippets of configuration, shared by manufacturers and pilots: board remapping, ESC telemetry setups, servo settings, filter setups and complete tunes for particular helicopters. Applying one runs its CLI commands on your flight controller.

Presets tab

Back up first

A preset changes your configuration, and there's no undo. Click Save Differential Backup (diff all) at the bottom of the tab before you apply anything. Load Backup puts it back.

Finding a preset

Filter by Categories (Setup, Remapping, Tuning ...), Keywords, Authors, Firmware version and Status, or type in the search box -- a helicopter or board name usually works best, for example OMPHOBBY M7 or NEXUS. Only presets that match your firmware version and board are useful; the card lists both.

Each card shows the category, author, firmware versions, boards and source. The source's status tells you how much to trust it:

Status
OFFICIAL From the Rotorflight team or a manufacturer.
COMMUNITY Shared by pilots and reviewed before being added.
EXPERIMENTAL Untested or work in progress.

Applying presets

  1. Click a card. Read the description, pick from its Options if it has any, and use Show CLI to see exactly what it will change.
  2. Click Select. You can select several presets; they are applied in order.
  3. Click Review Selected Presets, check the list, then Review CLI.
  4. Click Execute, then Save and Reboot when it's done.

If any command fails, you get a warning that the configuration was applied with CLI errors -- check the output before saving.

Preset sources

Presets are loaded from the rotorflight-presets repository. Preset Sources... lets you add other repositories, for example a club's or your own.

Danger

A preset can change anything, including motor outputs. Only add sources you trust.
