I use the "old" black DJI controller with a GepRC Cinelog 25 HD with the caddx vista.No switch on the remote except the arm switch seems to do anything. How can I assign them for angle/horizon/acro and turtle and beep and stuff?
In Betaflight connecting the quad viw USB? Would have to disassemble half the quad for that...

You need to plug your FC into BetaFlight so start dismantling!

Alright. Thanks. Will do in a quiet hour.
And the controller? Does it need to be plugged in as well? How do I know which codes are which switches?

The drone will need to be powered up, connect you computer to BetaFlight and power up your remote. Make sure you take the props off, for safety.

Navigate to the Remote Control set up and you can select a function, once you do that, operating a switch will cause BetaFlight to learn the switch.

Simple once you start using it.

This is a good place to start:

Thanks a lot.

Success!
I updated the firmware (funny that they sent a new quad with a firmware from November in March...).
Found the Acro/Angle/Horizon settings.
Got terribly confused by beeping until I found out that SC up is Beeper mode .
And set up Turtle mode.
Now I only need the now lens to fly again...

I just want to make sure you're aware of the little PCBs which allow the USB connection to be moved to a more accessible location. I haven't used these myself but I remember seeing them in some YouTube videos. I don't think if these little USB boards would work with your quad or not. If there's a PCB which would work on your quad, it would make future updates with BetaFlight easier.

Yes, that would be helpful.

I couldn't find a video about the PCB adapter but here's one on Amazon (USA). Hopefully you can find one locally.

Another alternative is use one of the cables Joshua Barwell describes in this video.


One concern about using this type of cable is there might be exposed power lines on the connector when left in the plug.

The links provided in the description are kind of expensive. You can find them for a lot less from other sources. Here's a couple examples. Link one. Link two. I have no idea if those items are good or not. I also don't know if those are reliable sellers or not. They're just the first two links for this type of cable I found. You can purchase multiple tips for a single cable if you want.

I usually receive items ordered from AliExpress. One of the few things I didn't receive was this type of USB cable.

Thank you. Found one here as well and ordered. Great advice!
