emuflight / Emuflight

EmuFlight is flight controller software (firmware) used to fly multi-rotor craft.

This fork differs from Baseflight, Cleanflight and Betaflight in that it focuses on flight performance, innovative filtering, and leading-edge features.

WARNING

DJI components bypass Configurator safety-checks. Do not attempt arming while connected to Configurator with LiPo plugged. Always remove propellers and use a smoke-stopper for extra safety.

• Multiple telemetry protocols (CSRF, FrSky, HoTT smart-port, MSP, etc)
• RSSI via ADC - Uses ADC to read PWM RSSI signals, tested with FrSky D4R-II, X8R, X4R-SB, & XSR
• OSD support & configuration without needing third-party OSD software/firmware/comm devices
• OLED Displays - Display information on: Battery voltage/current/mAh, profile, rate profile, mode, version, sensors, etc
• In-flight manual PID tuning and rate adjustment
• Rate profiles and in-flight selection of them
• Configurable serial ports for Serial RX, Telemetry, ESC telemetry, MSP, GPS, OSD, Sonar, etc - Use most devices on any port, softserial included

Support and Developers Channel

There's a dedicated Discord chat channel here:

https://discord.gg/gdP9CwE

Etiquette: Don't ask to ask and please wait around long enough for a reply - sometimes people are out flying, asleep or at work and can't answer immediately.

Configuration Tool

To configure EmuFlight you should use the EmuFlight-configurator GUI tool (Windows/OSX/Linux) which can be found here:

https://github.com/emuflight/EmuConfigurator

DJI OSD [In]Compatibility

Setting PIDs and Rates (except for Feed Forward) is supported with the DJI OSD. The filtering menus (MISC PP, FILT PP, FILT GLB) are not currently supported and may result in unintended filtering settings.
