Official "CleanFlight" Flight Controller Software, Information Thread
Cleanflight is a firmware and GUI set that can be used on multirotor aircraft and fixed-wing aircraft, it supports a variety for shapes and motor counts, and is not limited to quadcopters, hexacopters, octocopters, tricopters and planes. Cleanflight is Open-Source flight controller software which is 32-bit version of the original 8-bit MultiWii code.

Hey folks, I want to offer some information about this project, so here we go. CleanFlight is an OpenSource project started by Dominic Clifton. Dominic is a wonderful programmer with great vision and the ability to unlock the full potential of the latest 32 bit flight controllers. With that said, this project cannot progress on the back of a single person. The CleanFlight project needs people. You don't have to be a genius coder to get involved, all you need is a passion for learning, and the drive to get involved.
In the links above you will find everything you need to be a part of this project. You will need to learn how to navigate in the GIT environment (it's not that hard, lots of video tuts on the net), and you need to follow the protocols described in the documentation. It's called Cleanflight because everything is neat and clean based on the best practices model. Once you lean to navigate GIT, you can help in many ways. You can offer suggestions, feedback on performance, help fix bugs, help write documentation, heck you can even code. To get involved with any aspect of the project, all you need to do is express interest, and people on the team will help guide you. But remember, it's up to you to want it.
To get started you will need clone the entire project or just the portion of the project that you are interested in, make changes, then submit them. You can do this by installing GIT on your computer and cloning everything to your hard drive, or you can use the links above to work online. To clone/make a copy, what you do is make a fork (click fork icon), then you make the changes you want and save it. Once you think your changes are ready, you submit a Pull Request (click Submit Pull Request icon), and a member of the development team is notified and reviews your changes. If everything looks good, they accept the changes (commit) and you become an official contributor of the project.
Contributing to the project isn't difficult, but does take some time to learn to navigate the GIT environment. You can contribute at any level, from simple descriptions and documentation to full on flight controller coding, you can even submit feature requests. In the end there is so much to do, and the project can only move as fast as the people involved. So if you are the kind of person interested in tinkering with PID's and playing in the command line, you might strongly consider becoming involved with CleanFlight.
In this thread, we will talk about Cleanflight as a project, offer news, and how to's. Many people associate Cleanflight as a firmware to replace Baseflight (Naze 32 firmware & GUI), but it's much more. The project did start off as an off spring of BaseFlight, however CleanFlight isn't being designed to drive just the Naze 32 boards, it's designed to be a firmware solution for many different 32 bit flight controllers, current and future.
In the video below (skip the into with the dog, fast forward to 1:45) you will see the man behind the curtain Dominic Clifton also known as Hydra talk about Cleanflight, offer some examples of what he is doing, provide his vision for the future, and offer an incite as to why he started the CleanFlight project.
I hope the members here at fpvlab get involved with the Cleanflight project, and I look forward to seeing your projects, and trying to help you with any of your questions. I may not have all the answers, but I know people who do. Also if you need access directly to many members of the Development Team, install an IRC client on your computer, and visit the #cleanflight channel (IRC is like text messaging on a computer). On IRC, go ahead and ask your questions, even if the person you want to talk to isn't active, they will see your questions when they return, and just might respond
, it's just like texting on a cell phone.
Happy Flying, AKf.
