- flight controler help question
I ended up buying both an f1 and newer flight controler. My first build is with the f1. If it all ends with successful flight then I will build something nicer with the f4.
But, I have one (hopefully last) problem - with cleanflight. I flash the board. Then connect. Then "exit" in CLI. It reboots. I see a 3d model of my quad. I can calibrate the accelerometer. But thats it, no further options. The only thing on the left of the screen, where I was expecting a menu, is CLI. Any ideas? (I've tried both older and newer firmware, same thing. The quad is built, everything but battery connected.)

not an expert, but you should be able to config everything in the cli.
I was wondering the same thing, are these boards still usable? they are real cheap now, but id buy another board rather than attempt full cli config.
I just completed my first build, using a matek f722-std with their PDB/VTX, and ive got to say it was fairly easy, most of the connections are done through a ribbon cable
originally, the only soldering i did was the motors to a 4in1 esc, 5 wires from the esc to the flight controller, 4 for the camera and another 4 for the Rx
ive since added a gps and some leds, and its still a very tidy build.
the point im trying to make is that the cost of the flight controller was well worth it.

I've solved my problem by shorting the boot pins and reflashing.
I plan on building multiple drones, that's why I'm fine with getting a f1. I had no experience working with electronics, no experience soldering, and little experience flying a drone. I fully expected problems / breaking things. An $8 board is nice for experimentation. I will get to the nicer stuff soon enough.
