Kakute F4 AIO
The video linked above shows a process of using Zadig to replace the VCP driver. The ImpluseRC Driver
Fixer is an easier way of doing the same thing. So, use the ImpulseRC Driver Fixer and don’t mess around
with Zadig like the video shows.
Is It Over Yet?
THAT WAS SUPER ANNOYING WASN’T IT. Yes… we know.
The good news is, you do not need to repeat this process again. Sort of. You never need to install the
drivers again on this computer, unless you reinstall the operating system for some reason. If you use
another computer for the first time, you will need to install those drivers on it. Also, every time you get
a new flight controller, you must run the ImpulseRC Driver Fixer one time for that board, before you can
flash the board. Unless the board has a CP210x instead of using VCP like the Kakute.
You know what? Let’s just move on...
Installing Betaflight Configurator
Betaflight is managed using the Betaflight Configurator application, also known for short as the
Betaflight GUI, or just, “The GUI”. (GUI is pronounced “gooey” in case you wondered. Only weirdos say,
“Gee You Eye”.) The Betaflight GUI is a Chrome app. To run it, first you need to install Google Chrome on
your computer.

Some people dislike Google and object to installing Google Chrome on their computer. There are a few
options for configuring Betaflight without Chrome, but they’re mostly intended for quick changes in the
field, not full-time use. If you intend to use Betaflight on your multirotor, you’re probably going to have
to install Chrome and use a Chrome app. Before you think of jumping ship, almost all other flight control
firmwares (KISS, Cleanflight) use Chrome apps too.
Next, download the Betaflight Configurator GUI from the Chrome App Store:
