✈️ BetterFlight

BetterFlight is modern, high-performance flight controller firmware designed for both multi-rotor and fixed-wing aircraft.

Built as a reimagined version of Betaflight, this project is implemented entirely in Rust — unlocking the power of safety, speed, and reliability for embedded flight systems.

🚀 Features

  • Rust-based core for enhanced memory safety and performance
  • Modular architecture for flexible target support
  • Designed for STM32 microcontrollers
  • Focused on clean code, modern tooling, and future extensibility

🛠️ Building BetterFlight

To build BetterFlight for STM32 targets, follow these steps:

⚙️ Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following tools installed:

  • Rust (preferably via rustup)
  • ARM target support: 
    rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf

  • cargo-binutils and LLVM tools:

    cargo install cargo-binutils
rustup component add llvm-tools-preview

  • probe-rs for flashing/debugging STM32:

    cargo install probe-rs

🔨 Build Instructions

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/your-org/betterflight.git
cd betterflight

  2. Build the firmware for an STM32 target (e.g., STM32F4 series):

    cargo build --release --target thumbv7em-none-eabihf

  3. (Optional) Flash to device using probe-rs:

    cargo flash --chip <CHIP_NAME> --release

    Replace <CHIP_NAME> with your exact MCU model (e.g., STM32F405RG).
