CLI Command Reference

The CLI provides direct, text-based access to the flight controller, available from the CLI tab in the Configurator, or over any serial terminal at the configured baud rate.

Common commands

Command Description
help List available commands
status Show system status
version Show firmware version info
dump Print the full configuration (including defaults)
dump all Print the full configuration for all profiles
diff Print only settings that differ from defaults
diff all Print changed settings across all profiles
save Save changes and reboot
exit Exit the CLI (without saving)
defaults Reset to firmware defaults

Backup and restore

diff all is the preferred backup format for day-to-day use -- compact, and easy to review. Paste the saved output back into the CLI and run save to restore it. See Backup & Restore for the full workflow.

Note

This page covers general CLI usage. A full per-command and per-setting reference is planned as the project stabilizes -- contributions welcome, see Contributing.
