Flight controller software is used to control drones or airplanes. Open source examples include MultiWii, Baseflight, Cleanflight and Betaflight. The latter includes support for dshot, multishot, and oneshot engine protocols, STM32, F7, F4, F3, and F1 processors, telemetry protocols, and OLED displays. Betaflight 4.0.2 has been released with the following announcement and list of changes:

4.0.2 Maintenance Release

Please read the Betaflight 4.0 Release Notes. This release contains bug fixes and target changes only. For a full list of new features see 4.0.0. We have tried to make this release as bug free as possible. If you still find a bug, please report it back to us by opening an issue here.

If you want to talk about Betaflight, ask configuration questions, or just hang out with fellow pilots, you can do this in our Facebook group. Betaflight also has a presence in the Slack messaging platform. Register here, and then come join us in Slack. Most developers hang out there, so this is a great place to talk about the things you are tinkering with in Betaflight, or get help with really complicated configuration problems.

Important information when upgrading from an earlier version of 4.0

  • a number of users reported issues with their craft taking off with throttle at idle when running on Betaflight 4.0.0’s default settings. It was identified that the default settings did not have enough filtering for setups with a lot of vibrations. More filtering was added to the defaults in 4.0.1. It is recommended that you upgrade directly to 4.0.1 or newer, to eliminate the risk of unintended flyaways introduced by this problem (#8043);
  • Betaflight 4.0.1 has a bug that is affecting all F3 based flight controllers, stopping them from working. A fix for this bug is included in 4.0.2. Users with F3 based flight controllers should upgrade directly to 4.0.2 or newer (#8148).
  • unfortunately, bugfixes in the flight controller core functionality have led to an increase of the firmware size, causing it to overflow the available space on a number of F3 based flight controllers. As a result, some features have had to be removed from a number of F3 based flight controllers in order to make the firmware fit into flash. The following targets are affected: AIORACERF3 (#8178).

Fixes:

  • fixed problems when using AND conditions to configure modes (#8130);
  • fixed build problem if no barometer is configured (#8133);
  • fixed problems with output pins on F3 (#8148);
  • fixed freeze when enabling LED_STRIP without a pin defined (#8157);
  • fixed incorrect confirmation when changing timer from ‘NONE’ in CLI (#8165).

Target Updates:

  • fixed motor assignment for target PIKOF4OSD (#8049);
  • removed features from target AIORACERF3 to fix flash overflow (#8178).

4.0.1 Maintenance Release

Safety Improvements:

  • changed the default filter settings to reduce the risk of flyaways (#8043).

Fixes:

  • fixed gyro initialization for setups with multiple MPU6000 / MPU9250 (#7950);
  • lowered the minimum frequency for dynamic notch filters to 60hz (#7984);
  • fixed OSD crash when enabling vario display on targets without barometer (#7993);
  • fixed excessive return speed with GPS rescue in edge cases (#8007);
  • fixed display or failsafe flight mode in OSD (#8010);
  • added overflow checking for OSD timers (#8016);
  • fixed gyro detection code code for multi gyro setups (#8033);
  • added detection for screen overflow in OSD (#8063);
  • fixed problem with power level display for SmartAudio in OSD (#8064);
  • fixed writing of debug mode into the blackbox log header (#8089);
  • fixed problem with timers when using pins with no defined timers (#8093);
  • fixed inconsistency in the active gyro configuration (#8102);
  • fixed incorrect application of motor output limits when changing profiles (#8108);
  • fixed resource configuration for CC2500 based SPI RX (#8120);
  • fixed build problems on targets without barometer / magnetometer support (#8121);
  • fixed problem with incorrectly reporting barometer / magnetometer as present for targets built without support for them (#8135);
  • fixed GPS rescue problem for builds without barometer support (#8136).

Target Updates:

  • updates to target FF_RACEPIT (#8046);
  • re-added some features to target BETAFLIGHTF3 (#8068);
  • changed the default configuration for target CLRACINGF7 (#8078);
  • removed unneeded barometer default from target SPRACINGF3NEO (#8129).
