Cleanflight

Clean-code version of baseflight flight-controller - flight controllers are used to fly multi-rotor craft and fixed wing craft.

This fork differs from baseflight in that it attempts to use modern software development practices which result in:

1. greater reliability through code robustness.
2. easier maintainance through code cleanliness.
3. easier to develop new features.
4. easier to re-use code though code de-coupling and modularisation.

The MultiWii software, from which baseflight originated, violates many good software development best-practices. Hopefully this fork will go some way to address them. If you see any bad code in this fork please immediately raise an issue so it can be fixed, or better yet submit a pull request.

Documentation

There is some documentation here: https://github.com/hydra/cleanflight/tree/master/docs If what you need is not covered then refer to the baseflight documentation. If you still can't find what you need then stop by #multiwii on the Freenode IRC network - irc://irc.freenode.net/#multiwii
