BetaFPV F4 1S 12A AIO SPI Frsky

F4 1S 12A AIO Flight Controller - A 1S 12A FC for buiding lightweight 3" toothpick drones like HX115 SE Toothpick Drone. If you want to try a bigger FPV drone than 65mm/75mm on 1S power, and still want smooth and powerful flying actions, this FC that integrate 1S 12A ESC is definitely your best choice.

Bullet Point

• F4 1S 12A AIO Flight Controller is a best choice for buiding an ultra-lightweight 3" toothpick drone like HX115 SE FPV Quad.
• Most of 1S flight controllers on the market come with 5A ESC by now, but this FC specially integrate 1S 12A ESC, it can provide more sufficient power for 3" toothpick drone.
• Bulit-in current meter, 2 programmable RGB LEDs and SPI Frsky receiver. At the same time, all the pads are leaved for external receiver with UART1 and UART2, for buzzer etc.
• Whoop mounting hole pattern, be compatible with most 1S 3" frame. Large pads are reserved to solder motor cables, this design will make solder easier.
• Different from other flight controllers, the USB Port of this FC is Type-C, which makes charging more convenient.

UART1, UART2 and SBUS pads are leaved for external receiver like Frsky XM+, TBS Nano receiver so that long receiver range is available.

Buzz pads are available for external buzzer.

The current meter is integrated on the FC board. Here is the configuration in Betaflight Configurator.

12A 1S ESC

Should we really need a 12A ESC for 1S drones? If it is a 65mm or 75mm Whoop drone like Meteor65, 5A ESC is enough for all actions. But how about with 3" propellers and 1102/1202.5 motors? Still want smooth and powerful flying actions? The 5A ESC is developed about 3 years ago and designed for whoop drones with 0603/0802 motors. For the past year, BETAFPV team cooperated with BLHeli author Steffen on the 12A 1S ESC for 3" toothpick drones. Finally it is here!

It marks "1-2S" on the board, could this FC board support 2S?

NOT Yet. The motor spins not smoothly in 2S power with the released ESC firmware. We will work on it continuely and make this board support 2S later. If you have any idea or advice, feel free to contact with us.

SPI Frsky RX

Come with the build-in SPI Frsky Receiver (CC2500 chip), F4 1S 12A AIO FC can be compatible with Futaba S-FHSS, Frsky D8 and D16 protocol. The default protocol is configured to Frsky D16 FCC out of factory. Pilots could setup the protocol according to your own need in Betaflight Configurator.
