In MultiWii it is possible to configure your multicopter settings.

Configuration guide
PID
- Global PID - global flight characteristics
- Altitude PID - tuning for barometer
Sensor Calibration
before you fly your rc model for the first time please take time to calibrate sensors.
- Accelerometer - required for stable mode
- Compas - required for CareFree mode
Transmitter
- RC rates & expo - for input sensitivity
- RC Serial , Sbus and ppm
Configuration tools
There are different options to configure your multiwii flight controler:
TX sticks combo
MultiWii functionality are accessible via combinations of the TX sticks.
The latest overview of supported stick combinations can be found on the sources repository.
It comes as a pdf Document and can be printed and folded to match the size of a credit card.
MultiWii GUI
There is a dedicated page that described the MultiWii GUI
LCD
It is possible to attach an LCD panel for field adjustment of PID values without the need for a PC. Stick movements are used to change values, while the LCD shows the variable being changed and by how much.
Bluetooth
Another option for field configuration without a PC is to use an Android smartphone and a Bluetooth module. The module connects to the TTL port pins as the LCD does, but uses all four pins since the communication is bi-directional in this case with the board.
Note: You cannot have both the BT module and FTDI active at the same time. Use one or the other at a time.
WinGUI
MultiWii WinGUI is a .NET based configuration and Ground Control Station interface designed for multiwii.

It offers a richer user experience by sacrificing multi platform capabilities.
