The open source flight controller firmware that we chose to power the Sparrow is Cleanflight, mainly
due to it’s solid support and the OneShot ESC control protocol.
Because Cleanflight is constantly evolving, you will get the most updated setup instructions from
their website.
Naturally, if you get stuck or something is unclear, please visit http://cleanflight.com/
To hook up the cleanflight configurator, hook up a personal computer via a standard micro-USB
cable, to the connector on the right side of the Sparrow FPV Racer.
