-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.

 +Some things of note: 
 +  * It's suggested to change the brushed motor PWM to something higher to reduce audible noise - 24khz works well. 
 +  * Configured to use a TARGET_CUSTOM serial Rx protocol - this is a new feature in betaflight for the crazyflie so that the NRF51 firmware does not need to change. This option was very recently added to the betaflight/cleanflight configurators, so make sure you're using the latest version of the configurators (or just don't change the serialRx protocol drop down -- it will be a blank white box on earlier configurators 
 +  * PIDs have not been tuned for the crazyflie -- the stock PIDs seem to be doing quite well though.
