myBF 3.61 with Custom features (based on 3.4.0 development)

I made some customisation in the code, and for better debug also changed the flight mode name to display each phase of the rescue mode, so I can look at OSD what is the current working phase and check heading and altitude and picture.

It helps a lot for understanding and tuning it.

On the lower right above coordinates is the flight mode. During manual or when I quickly turn off GPS rescue to not let it "land' by itself you can see AIR text.

Instead of RESC you will se the following flight mode short names:

• IDLE: "REID"
• INITIALIZE: "REIT"
• ATTAIN_ALT: "REAA"
• CROSSTRACK: "RECT"
• APPROACH: "RELA"
• LANDING: "RELD"
• COMPLETE: "RECP"
• ABORT: "REAB"

The visual beeper blinks the calculater altitudes for AA (attaining altitude phase) and CT (crosstrack) phases.

Some extra features to list:

• Enabling GPS rescue for F3 FC (ex.:SPRACINGF3 target) by disabling some functionality
• adding NMEA fix for GSP, supports now GNGGA GNRMC and GPGGA and GPRMC too
• adding 3.5.1 major bugfixes
• calculating different safe crosstrack and attain altitude alts
• not climbing to max ever altitude during this flight
• having a fixed altitude max if above 200meters
• does not failsafe and disarm if switching to rescue mode to close to home
• OSD:visual beeper showing calculated altitued for stages
• OSD:custom flight mode names for rescue phases

Here comes original BF readme:

Betaflight is flight controller software (firmware) used to fly multi-rotor craft and fixed wing craft.

This fork differs from Baseflight and Cleanflight in that it focuses on flight performance, leading-edge feature additions, and wide target support.

Events

Date	Event
22 July 2018	Start of feature freeze / Release Candidate window for Betaflight 3.5
05 August 2018	Planned release date for Betaflight 3.5
01 January 2019	Planned release date for Betaflight 4.0

Features

Betaflight has the following features:

• Multi-color RGB LED strip support (each LED can be a different color using variable length WS2811 Addressable RGB strips - use for Orientation Indicators, Low Battery Warning, Flight Mode Status, Initialization Troubleshooting, etc)
• DShot (150, 300, 600 and 1200), Multishot, and Oneshot (125 and 42) motor protocol support
• Blackbox flight recorder logging (to onboard flash or external microSD card where equipped)
• Support for targets that use the STM32 F7, F4, F3 and F1 processors
• PWM, PPM, and Serial (SBus, SumH, SumD, Spektrum 1024/2048, XBus, etc) RX connection with failsafe detection
• Multiple telemetry protocols (CSRF, FrSky, HoTT smart-port, MSP, etc)
• RSSI via ADC - Uses ADC to read PWM RSSI signals, tested with FrSky D4R-II, X8R, X4R-SB, & XSR
• OSD support & configuration without needing third-party OSD software/firmware/comm devices
• OLED Displays - Display information on: Battery voltage/current/mAh, profile, rate profile, mode, version, sensors, etc
• In-flight manual PID tuning and rate adjustment
• Rate profiles and in-flight selection of them
• Configurable serial ports for Serial RX, Telemetry, ESC telemetry, MSP, GPS, OSD, Sonar, etc - Use most devices on any port, softserial included
• VTX support for Unify Pro and IRC Tramp
• and MUCH, MUCH more.

IRC Support and Developers Channel

There's a dedicated Slack chat channel here:

https://slack.betaflight.com/

Etiquette: Don't ask to ask and please wait around long enough for a reply - sometimes people are out flying, asleep or at work and can't answer immediately.

Configuration Tool

To configure Betaflight you should use the Betaflight-configurator GUI tool (Windows/OSX/Linux) that can be found here:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/betaflight-configurator/kdaghagfopacdngbohiknlhcocjccjao

The source for it is here:

Contributing

Contributions are welcome and encouraged. You can contribute in many ways:

• Documentation updates and corrections.
• How-To guides - received help? Help others!
• Bug reporting & fixes.
• New feature ideas & suggestions.

The best place to start is the IRC channel on gitter (see above), drop in, say hi. Next place is the github issue tracker:
