cleanflight installation.

Post by danhampson »

I thought i would put resources for cleanflight installation here. Its possible to flash and run cleanflight on the following boards, naze32 all versions, flip32, sparky and cc3d.

Firmware and documentation is avalible at http://cleanflight.com/

cc3d (with usb support) installation (In english and german). I have tried this and had it on the cc3d but didn't fly it as i couldn't configure sbus with the cc3d but could configure pmw receiver futaba and spektrum

For those that don't know, cleanflight is an updated firmware for many of the 32 bit flight controllers on the market today.
It is being actively developed by a bunch of people who were unhappy with the direction the current firmwares were heading.
At this stage it is the only firmware I know of that supports Kiss ESCs oneshot 1000hz refresh rate.
They also have been actively developing support for GPS on the Naze32 which the developers of baseflight did not seem too interested in.
It is installed on my friends 4s mini beast and is working well.
I have been watching with interest and will probably install it on my Naze32 in the near future.

Cc3d have got oneshot in development at the moment, from what I've seen and read about cleanflight and one shot they give super fast motor response which in turn gives better stability (pid gods willing).
As Stambo said at the moment the are very few esc's that have oneshot these esc's done have sync issues when running high kv motors at very high speeds.

Here a video of the sort of thing that's possible with cleanflight oneshot and kiss. This guy has also run this model 6s

Baseflight is the original software designed for the Nase32 by Timecop.
Hydra another guy working with Timecop, wasn't liking the way things were going with baseflight.
So He split off and made Cleanflight. He is doing a lot more development.
Here is a video explaining things better.

You guys are just amazing at what you all know! I'll be ordering the Naze32 for my 250 real soon and I do believe I'll be getting the KISS esc's.

Installing cleanflight will be a must to take advantage of the Kiss ESC 1000hz plus refresh rate.
