EmuFlight is flight controller software (firmware) used to fly multi-rotor aircraft.
- This fork differs from Baseflight, Cleanflight and Betaflight in that it focuses on flight performance, innovative filtering, and leading-edge features.
Always remove propellers and use a smoke-stopper when bench-testing. Never arm with propellers attached while connected to a computer.

Installation & Documentation
HD Video System Compatibility
Do not use HD video systems (HDZero, Walksnail, or DJI) to configure EmuFlight. These systems send Betaflight-formatted MSP; EmuFlight’s PID, rate, and filter structs differ significantly from Betaflight’s, and MSP configuration writes are not source-gated. Sending configuration from any of these devices may silently corrupt your tune. Use EmuConfigurator, the CLI, or the EmuFlight OSD for all configuration.
Stock DJI goggles do not display OSD. WTFOS enables EmuFlight OSD passthrough on DJI hardware and is the recommended solution for DJI users.

Open Source / Contributors
EmuFlight is software that is open source and is available free of charge without warranty to all users.
EmuFlight is forked from Betaflight, so thanks goes to all those whom have contributed to Cleanflight, Betaflight, Butterflight and their origins.
Origins for this fork (Thanks!):
- Alexinparis (for MultiWii),
- timecop (for Baseflight),
- Dominic Clifton (for Cleanflight),
- borisbstyle (for Betaflight),
- Sambas (for the original STM32F4 port), and
- Marinus (for forking IMUF thus beginning EmuFlight).
The EmuFlight Configurator is forked from Betaflight Configurator and its origins.
Origins for EmuFlight Configurator:
- Dominic Clifton (for Cleanflight configurator), and
- ctn (for the original Configurator).
