F3 Deluxe Flight Controller (AR Warehouse)

Description

F3 Deluxe Flight Controller

The F3 Flight Controller was designed to give awesome flight performance based on tried and tested sensors whilst also providing unparalleled I/O capabilities in a small and extremely lightweight form-factor using a next-generation CPU.

There are lots of cool features with this flight controller starting with a next-generation STM32 F3 processor with hardware floating point unit for efficient flight calculations and faster ARM-Cortex M4 core. It also comes with a high capacity black box flight log recorder that will help you optimize your tuning without the guesswork.  Some more great features are the additional built-in sensors for altitude and direction with the barometer mounted on the bottom of the board for easy wind isolation. A dedicated output for programmable LEDs - great for orientation, racing and night flying. The no compromise I/O supports all the features at the same time.

F3 runs the open-source Cleanflight flight control (FC) software which has an ever-growing community of friendly developers and users. Being open-source it allows you to contribute to the system. Cleanflight comes with a detailed manual that is reviewed and maintained by the Cleanflight developers and community. No more second-hand information. See http://cleanflight.com for links to the manual. PDF copies can be downloaded from the github releases pages. Ensure you reference the manual that is appropriate to your firmware version.

The F3 Deluxe gives you all the features you need for the heart of your aircraft, whether you’re into FPV racing, acrobatic flying or aerial photography it’s perfect.

Features:
• Cleanflight support
• Next-generation STM32 F3 processor and faster ARM-Cortex M4 core
• Loop times up to ~2x as fast as previous-generation STM32F1 based boards
• On-board high-capacity black box flight log recorder - optimize your tuning and see the results of your setup without guesswork
• No compromise I/O. Use all the features all the time; e.g. Connect your OSD + SmartPort + SBus + GPS + LED Strip + Battery Monitoring + Sonar + 8 motors - all at the same time!
•  16 PWM I/O lines for ESCs, Servos and legacy receivers. 8 available on standard pin headers. 8 via side mounted connectors.
• Full support for OneShot ESCs for easy PID tuning and a sharper response.
• Supports SBus, SumH, SumD, Spektrum1024/2048, XBus, PPM, PWM receivers. No external inverters required (built-in)
• Dedicated output for programmable LEDs - great for orientation, racing and night flying.
• Dedicated I2C port for connection of OLED display without needing flight battery.
• Battery monitoring ports for voltage and current
• Built in sensors for altitude and direction. Barometer mounted on the bottom of the board for easy wind isolation
• Buzzer port for audible warnings and notifications
• Symmetrical design for a super tidy wiring
• Wire up using pin headers, JST-SH sockets or solder pads. Use either right-angled or straight pin-headers
• Stackable design - perfect for integrating with OSDs and power distribution boards
• Configuration of the flight controller via a cross-platform GUI (Windows/OSX/Linux)
• Supports a variety of aircraft, tricopters, quadcopters, hexacopters, octocopters, planes and more
