How to install or download Betaflight and BLHeliSuite

---

Download Betaflight Configurator at:

Windows 10 now seems to come with STM32 drivers preinstalled. You may not need to install these drivers. Try plugging in your FC and see if a new COM port appears. If so, skip driver installation.

PREFERRED: Download STM32 VCP drivers from my web site at:

ALTERNATE: Download STM32 VCP drivers from the official site at:

Download the ImpulseRC Driver Fixer at:

Download BLHeliSuite at:

Alternate site (Mediafire):

Windows no longer seems to need manual installation of the STM32 VCP driver. I have no idea what version this went through but I have tested on multiple new computers and they just work.

I took a huge blindfolded dive into FPV quads recently and your videos have helped with just about any issue I've had. Thank you for these!

I’m here after 200 other build, battery care, controller setup videos and the list goes on, a video on best things to learn about when coming out of simulators to real life fpv 😂 Iv feel like iv been learning backwards!

[gregorykress]

Bingo!! Drivers downloaded and installed . . . and iNav is up and running. You are my hero!! Job well done!

Joshua, I am so glad you have a channel, 2 years later, i got a new computer and completely forgot how all this worked. But here you are, immortalized by great content. Please don't stop!

35 years ago you simply turn on the radio and it works. Today it requires a two week seminar just to bind and calibrate the darn thing, which still needs Betaflight to configure and until now every program has had an installer to run or an executable to launch what should be a simple utility... I have no idea how a kid could do all this. I dunno Josh, perhaps I'll go learn C++ and come back in a couple more weeks. But thank you for all the great info you and others provide.

I just got a Diatone GT-R249 last week and I've been spending some time learning the ropes of micro quads coming from a background of flite test airplanes. Your videos are so helpful. I love the combination of an academic yet casual setting of these videos. Its really cool and makes for a really great intuitive video. Thank you so much!

[isaacvaughn]

Bought everything then bothered to learn about it and I like it more and more every day. Your videos are the only thing keeping me sane through my builds. Thanks Bardwell!

I'm building the Eachine Tyro 119 as part of my honours project and your videos are fantastic! Can't thank you enough!! I'm having a blast following your tutorials

[adamegg]

Have been doing ground based RC for years. Just recently got into the quad scene. Very new and when i search to learn something always come across your videos and are very helpful. So thank you

[sleepyheadfpv]

I’m not new to the channel and have both these programs. But I still watch because there is always something to learn everyday :)


See what I did there!

Just building your Xilo and am at this stage of the build. Had problems flashing the firmware but following these instructions sorted it out. Cool. Thx mate.

[robertzabkiewicz]

Big thanks! Without your tutorial and links first install of Betaflight by person who is absolutly new be in drone world is impossible (at least for me)

[theonehavingthekey]

Joshua, thank you so much for all of the How-to videos you put out. I'm just getting started in FPV and your videos make it easy to understand and follow along. Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays to you and your family.
