Betaflight has the ability to control WS2812 programmable LEDs. It's called "ledstrip". These LEDs can change to any color you want. They can even respond to the quad's status, indicating battery level, RSSI, orientation, and many other effects.

In this video, I'll show you how to wire up WS2812 programmable LEDs, and how to configure them in Betaflight to do what you want. I'll also cover new Betaflight 4.0 features like ledstrip_profile and ledstrip_race_color.
