This will automatically fine tune the settings on your flight controller for your quad to give you the best response from your quadcopter. However, many of the other FPV specific features that come with Betaflight. If you want a sophisticated flight control firmware, along with great setup wizards on affordable CC3D based hardware.
KISS has gained a lot of popularity as having reliable hardware that is easy to use and just works. As the name suggests, this project is aimed to Keep It Super Simple.
The configuration software has a lot less flexibility when compared to betaflight, but this makes it easy to use. To some extent, the KISS developers have introduced new features that forced the open source projects to play catch up for a long time. If you like apple products, then you will probably like the KISS ecosystem. However, after a while, the developers started moving the raceflight code to eventually make the entire project closed source and only work on the official raceflight boards.
The justification for this is that now the developers can make some money for their efforts on pushing the project forward. This approach has seen the raceflight firmware being known for its smoothness and high response.
It also has very nice software to make setting up your flight controller. Similar to KISS, the raceflight ecosystem locks you into their products. However, it still lacks some of the new features being released with Betaflight. MultiWii was the genesis of modern quadcopter firmware. It started around the same time the Nintendo Wii was released. This project combined an Arduino 8-bit MCU and a Wiimote, and later was extended to dedicated boards.
Although not in active development this firmware is worth an honourable mention for the history books. Multiwii lead to the development of Baseflight which ultimately gave us BetaFlight which we all use today.
Baseflight was is the great-grandfather of betaflight , as it was the first bit FPV flight controller. Started because the baseflight creator was fed up with MultiWii still using slow and outdated 8-bit firmware. So Baseflight was a complete re-write of the multiwii firmware adapted to use 32bit hardware. Although this project is not actively maintained, it is noteworthy as it paved the way for many other 32 bit FPV firmware. TauLabs was one of the openpilot forks, that was aimed at professionals and researchers.
Just like the other openpilot forks, TauLabs also suffers from less hardware support. However, the code is still available for anyone who wants to have some high-quality code to learn from.
Openpilot was among the first open source flight control software projects and helped shapes many of the standard features available. At the time it was one of the first to use 32bit hardware and had solid performance and features with a professional feel.
However due to some different views of the developers so Librepilot , dRonin , and TauLabs where created as a fork of openpilot both of which are still in active development. I hope that you enjoyed reading this list and maybe even found a project you did not know about. This list is by no means an exhaustive list, as there are a few more small projects, some had some good initial response but have been since been merged or become abandoned. Some include gluonpilot, UAV dev board, autoquad which all had their day.

In this article. Inav project homepage Why should you use it? Librepilot project homepage Librepilot was forked from OpenPilot Why should you use it? Paparazzi Paparazzi was the first truly open source firmware to control drones. Paparazzi project homepage Why should you use it?
The only real downside is the lack of easy to obtain hardware, and the fact you need to be quite technical to work with paparrazi as it only runs on Linux for now FPV and Racing Projects These projects are dedicated to FPV and FPV racing, they have modes and features dedicated to squesing the extra performance out of your motors to make your aircraft as agile as possible.
Betaflight project homepage Betaflight was forked from Cleanflight Why should you use it? So at the time of this article, if you want to fly FPV, then run betaflight firmware on your FC if it is supported CleanFlight CleanFlight was built from baseflight, but with the focus on making the code easy to work with and maintain.

Right click on it and click Update Driver Software. Read protection not active. USB device successfully closed. Sign me up for the newsletter! Hello, I have downloaded and installed all of the drivers. I have also tried to use the impulse RC but it just searches and never finds my FC. Can anyone help me out??
Whtat can be? Does anyone have any solution for mamba f mk2 FC. So nothing happens!! Hello My flight controller diatone mamba f is not showing any sensor on board after I flashed the firmware with STM32F firmware. What could be the problem? When I connect the battery it beeps 3 times only, not 5 as it should. The FC appears to work because it has its green light on, steady. Please give some some advice to fix this. Thank you!!
My FC shows up fine at com5, and I can start the connection. It just says connecting for a moment, saying successfully serial port successfuly opened then changes to successfully closed. Everything is brand new, this is a first time setup on this quad. Thank you very much for this tutorial, I had been looking for a solution to my problem for a long time. I have a dys f4 pro v2. I have all the same issues.
No matter what I do my laptop will not recognize it. I can connect with my other quads. Is the FC cooked? The original 4 in 1esc is good and being used, but I wanted to try and salvage the FC if possible. My spf3 wont talk to computer anymore after flashing. My other quads all still connect fine.
Is my usb on fc cooked?? Is it normal to use it every time? Conflict with USB? Published: 23rd July Last Updated on 22nd July Leave a Comment Cancel Reply Sign me up for the newsletter!
