DIY Projects

These guides cover adapting Betaflight flight controllers for helicopters and building accessories for Rotorflight installations.

Flight controller conversions

• Betaflight FC (DIY): flashing and adapting a drone flight controller, with an OMPHobby M1 / DarwinFPV 15A build example, wiring, resource mappings and a downloadable configuration.
• Remapping Outputs: assigning pads to servos, motors and RPM inputs.
• Sensitive gyros: soft-mounting a board with an MPU-6500 gyro.
• BLHeli_S to Bluejay: flashing ESCs for bidirectional DShot RPM feedback.

Accessories
