This version of INAV Configurator is intended to be used only with INAV firmware 8.x. Do not use with different INAV versions!
8.0.1 is a minor release, mainly adding DJI_NATIVE to OSD options and fixing some small bugs.
If nothing serious is found, this will be released as 8.0.1 final.
Very important!!
We currently don't have access to an Apple Developer Account to sign the Mac binaries, so you will need to run the following command on MacOS to unlock the configurator App:
xattr -cr "/path/to/your/INAV Configurator.app"
This release of INAV Configurator no longer supports Windows 7.
This release of INAV Configurator works only with INAV 8! It will not connect to any other INAV version at all!
A lot has changed behind the scenes in configurator 8.0, as we upgraded a lot of libraries and internal thingmabobs that make it go! Overall it should be a bit snappier and now we ship universal binaries for MacOS!

Important Configurator Changes:
New Setup Wizard
After selecting an Aircraft preset, Configurator will now start a simple Setup Wizard to allow pilots to set up some basic settings like the Receiver Serial port and Protocol as well as the GPS Port and Protocol. Further Options could be included in future updates. #1537 and #2112
Cleanup and Reorganization of settings
- More work was done to distribute settings better into more logical panels. GPS related settings, including the COM Port, are now all in the GPS tab and can be accessed on a single page #2004
- USB-VCP option was removed from Ports tab as the MSP Functionality over USB should never be disabled #1990
- The Ports tab can now automatically fix some invalid configurations to prevent a complete reset of all port settings #2006
ADSB Support in Mission Control
It is now possible to connect an ADSB receiver to your flight controller and get OSD Warnings if any ADSB enabled, usually GA Aircraft, are close by. INAV Configurator can now show these Aircraft on the map for additional safety of UAV flights. More Details
Copy and Paste of OSD Layout pages
It is now possible to copy a complete Page layout and paste it into another OSD Page. This allows a much faster setup of multiple OSD pages that have only minor incremental differences. For example a clean layout with less elements but existing elements on the same locations as the full layout. #2028
U-Blox AssistNow Support in INAV Configurator
AssistNow is a Service that provides GPS Satellite information data for offline-applications, to dramatically improve the time to fix for GPS Devices. By Providing your own AssistNow Token, INAV Configurator can automatically download the latest data set and transfer it to any connected INAV UAV. With this, a GPS fix after cold start should merely take seconds instead of minutes. This is especially helpful for people who go fly with a big fleet of aircraft. More Details
Up to 34 Channel support
INAV 8 now supports the SBUS2 Protocol that can provide up to 34 RC channels. Configurator is now reflecting all 34 channels in the Receiver Tab and also in the Programming Framework. On Builds that have receivers with less available channels, these additional ones can still be used internally in INAV for some Programming functions or gimbal controls. #2177 and #2156
Enhance OSD Custom Elements
Custom OSD Elements have been updated for more customization options and easier setup. This allows pilots to set up their own OSD elements, that are not available in INAV and these can use data from various sources like sensors or from the Programming Framework. iNavFlight/inav#10282
INAV now speaks multiple languages
We have merged a few languages into INAV 8.0. They are all community contributed translations and feedback on the actual translations is appreciated.
Please report any wrong or missing translations so we can continually improve and expand the available languages.
