Betaflight Setup

Step 1: Connect to Betaflight Configurator

Connect your drone’s flight controller to your PC using a USB cable. Then open the Betaflight Configurator and click Connect.

Step 2: Configure Ports

Go to the Ports tab and configure the ports as follows:

• USB VCP: Configuration/MSP — enabled

  • This is usually automatically enabled. It is necessary for the FC to communicate via the USB-C port

• UART1: Peripherals — VTX (IRC Tramp)

  • VTX needs to be enabled for the video transmission, the correct protocol version is important

• UART2: Serial RX — enabled

  • The ELRS receiver is connected to UART2

• UART3 & UART4: Configuration/MSP — enabled

  • UART3 needs to be enabled for the MSP communication with the Raspberry Pi

• UART6: Sensor Input — GPS (baud rate: 576000)

  • Only necessary if a GPS modul is connected

Step 3: Set CLI MSP Override to 15

1. Open the CLI tab.

2. Enter the following commands:

   set msp_override_channels_mask = 15 save

Step 4: Configure Modes

Navigate to the Modes tab and assign switches on your transmitter as follows:

Basic Flight Modes

• ARM: AUX1 and AUX4 — range: 1925–2100

• ANGLE: AUX2 — range: 900–1100

Custom MSP Override Mode

• MSP OVERRIDE: AUX3 — range:

  • 1300–1700 → Mode A

  • 1800–2100 → Mode B

Step 5: Verify and Set Motor Direction

1. Go to the Motors tab.

2. Remove all propellers!

3. Enable motor testing.

4. Test each motor individually and verify the direction matches the Motor Diagram displayed in Betaflight.
