-TEMPORARY: As of this writing, the changes for the Crazyflie 2.0 target have not been merged back into the Betaflight repo -- temporarily working out of a [[https://github.com/theseankelly/betaflight/commits/cf2|private fork]]. Intent is to merge into Betaflight ASAP once a few bugs in the latest Betaflight are ironed out.

 To flash the board, follow the [[https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/wiki/Installing-Betaflight|Betaflight flashing instructions]]. Be sure to choose 'full chip erase' for the first flash. To flash the board, follow the [[https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/wiki/Installing-Betaflight|Betaflight flashing instructions]].

-These instructions call for booting with the BOOT0 pin held high to boot the chip into DFU mode. The Crazyflie can be [[projects:crazyflie2:development:dfu|booted in to DFU mode]] without needing to short this pin.+These instructions call for booting with the BOOT0 pin held high to boot the chip into DFU mode. The Crazyflie can be [[projects:crazyflie2:development:dfu|booted in to DFU mode]] without needing to short this pin. Note that the Betaflight configurator will reboot the STM32 after flashing but it will not reset the NRF51 -- the whole board must be power cycled after flashing in order to restore the NRF51's Rx functionality. 
  
 Note: If you've previously installed the libusb-win32 driver on the Crazyflie 2.0 device node using Zadig in Windows, the driver must be changed before it will enumerate as a COM device after flashing.

 To use a client that uses the legacy commander packet type (cfclient, mobile apps, older versions of DeviationTx) ensure the max roll/pitch angles are set to 50.0 degrees and the max yaw rate is set to 400deg/s. The handler for this packet type rescales the degree setpoint into a PWM-style value (range of 1000-2000) and assumes these values as max values when making the conversion. Using other values should work but might produce unexpected results. To use a client that uses the legacy commander packet type (cfclient, mobile apps, older versions of DeviationTx) ensure the max roll/pitch angles are set to 50.0 degrees and the max yaw rate is set to 400deg/s.
