F3 Racing EVO Flight Controller (AR Warehouse)

Description

The F3 Racing EVO flight controller has features that makes it the board of choice for your next multirotor (drone) racer build. It has been designed to give awesome flight performance in a stackable race ready package. It has the latest sensors, race timing and logging technology backed by excellent connectivity options, all this at a very affordable price. Featuring a race timing transponder system the F3 EVO Pro has been designed with the serious racer in mind. Analyze your race and flight telemetry/blackbox logs using the built-in micro SD card socket. The F3 EVO gives you all the features you need for the heart of your multirotor whether you are an FPV racer, aerobatic flyer or do aerial photography, it's the perfect choice.

The F3 Racing Evo runs the open-source Cleanflight flight control (FC) software which has an ever growing community of friendly developers and users. Being open-source means that you too can contribute to the system. The hardware was designed by the lead developer of Cleanflight to be more capable than the previous generation of STM32F1 based boards. The F3 EVO uses a similar layout to the F3 Acro and Deluxe boards, the stack pins, ESC/Servo outputs and connectors are in the same location for maximum mounting compatibility with existing products.

In conclusion, the F3 EVO uses advanced processor, sensor and software technologies to make your multirotor (drone) fly like it's on rails. The Cleanflight software enables the precision flying you require for fast FPV racing. uses the ARM Cortex-M4 72Mhz CPU with Math co-processor (FPU) for efficient flight calculations that gets more done in less time. The gyroscope and accelerometer sensors are connected to the fast SPI bus, this enables the software to get more data even quicker to help stabilize your craft even better.  The list of features and specs goes on and on, please look under the "Files" tab for the Manual and the Features list.
