# Profiles

A profile is a set of configuration settings.

Current 3 profiles are supported, The default profile is profile `0`.

## Changing profiles

Profiles can be slected using a GUI or the following stick combinations

| Profile | Throttle | Yaw   | Pitch  | Roll   |
| ------- | -------- | ----- | ------ | ------ |
| 0       | Down     | Left  | Middle | Left   |
| 1       | Down     | Left  | Up     | Middle |
| 2       | Down     | Left  | Middle | Right  |

The cli `profile` command can also be used:

```
profile <index>
```

# Rate Profiles

Cleanflight supports rate profiles in addition to regular profiles.

Rate profiles contain settings that adjust how your craft behaves based on control input.

3 rate profiles are supported.

Rate profiles can be selected while flying using the inflight adjustments feature.

Each normal profile has a setting called 'default_rate_profile`.  When a profile is activated the
corresponding rate profile is also activated. 

Profile 0 has a default rate profile of 0.
Profile 1 has a default rate profile of 1.
Profile 2 has a default rate profile of 2.

The defaults are set this way so that it's simple to configure a profile and a rate profile at the same.

The current rate profile can be shown or set using the CLI `rateprofile` command:

```
rateprofile <index>
```

The values contained within a rate profile can be seen by using the CLI `dump rates` command.

e.g
```
# dump rates

# rateprofile
rateprofile 0

set rc_rate = 90
set rc_expo = 65
set thr_mid = 50
set thr_expo = 0
set roll_pitch_rate = 0
set yaw_rate = 0
set tpa_rate = 0
set tpa_breakpoint = 1500
```
