CLI Variables for This Build

These are this build’s values, not recommendations. They exist so the configuration can be restored after a firmware flash or compared against a later state.

Rates and throttle 

# Rate profile 0 — ACTUAL rates
set roll_rc_rate = 17
set roll_srate = 55
set roll_expo = 35
set pitch_rc_rate = 17
set pitch_srate = 55
set pitch_expo = 35
set yaw_rc_rate = 12
set yaw_srate = 40
set yaw_expo = 25

# Throttle curve
set throttle_limit_type = SCALE
set throttle_limit_percent = 80
set thr_mid = 40
set thr_expo = 35
set thr_hover = 44

# Motor idle (4.00%)
set motor_idle = 400

Battery alerts

The values that make the low-voltage warning trustworthy rather than constant — see OSD Layout for why the durations matter more than the thresholds.

set vbat_warning_cell_voltage = 350
set vbat_min_cell_voltage = 330
set vbat_max_cell_voltage = 440
set vbat_duration_for_warning = 20
set vbat_duration_for_critical = 20

save
save writes to EEPROM and reboots the board. Everything before it lives in RAM only — disconnecting without saving discards the lot. Conversely, once saved there is no undo, so capture a diff all first if the current state is worth keeping.

Capturing current state before changing anything 

diff all

diff prints only what differs from firmware defaults, which makes it far more readable than dump and is the right thing to paste into a backup file.

Why not dump?
dump prints every setting the firmware has, defaults included — thousands of lines. It is useful when you need to know the literal state of everything, but for backup and restore diff captures exactly the same information about what makes this build different, in a fraction of the space.

A note on set and CLI mode

Every one of these commands puts the board into CLI mode, and it stays there until it receives exit or reboots. A session that ends without exit leaves the board unresponsive to MSP — see Recovering a Stuck Serial Link.
