  • ArteryTek AT32 Flight Controller – NeutronRC F435

    ArteryTek AT32 Flight Controller – NeutronRC F435

    OK, I’m kind of hyped with this! What you see on the image looks like an any other flight controller, right? Looks again! It’s not STM32 but ArteryTek AT32! And F435 as a bonus 😉 With the continuing chip shortage supply of STM32 is limited and prices high. Maybe have an alternative source of MCUs…

  • Matek F765-WSE flight controller preview

    Who makes the best fixed-wing flight controllers? Most probably Matek. Their series that begun with Matek F405-WING in 2018 is still going strong. Some models are end-of-line and new ones are created. The Matek F765-WSE is the next generation of Matek WING flight controllers that will appear on the market in late Q3, early Q4…

  • What is the best flight controller firmware? Betaflight, Ardupilot, or INAV?

    The question "What is the best flight controller firmware?" pops up here and there from time to time. Some say it's Betaflight. Some say it's Ardupilot. And reality? Reality is often disappointing, and there might be no one answer to that question. Every flight controller firmware has strong and weak sides. Ardupilot sucks on small…

  • Is Bidirectional DSHOT required for RPM Filter?

    There is a group of people who think that the RPM Filter is the best thing to happen to flight controllers and quadcopters since the sliced bread. Perhaps. I’m more inclined to believe that RPM Filter is just an example of good functionality. But it will not be about that, so let’s go back to…

  • STM32 F1, F3, F4, G4, F7 and H7 flight controllers

    Currently, almost all flight controllers we use on our multirotor FPV drones and airplanes are powered by microcontrollers from an STM32 family. When we say about flight controller families or generations, we refer to them by the family of the MCU. For example: F1 flight controllers are no longer supported or You should get F7…

  • Betaflight vs EmuFlight vs INAV

    Which flight controller software flies better out of the box? You know, the stock, default settings, no tuning. Just flash and fly. Betaflight, INAV or maybe EmuFlight? I decided to test it on one of my 5-inch FPV drones and compare: Betaflight vs INAV, Betaflight vs EmuFlight and EmuFlight vs INAV. The results are divided…

  • The best flight controllers for INAV – 2019 Q4 edition

    Believe it or not, but choosing the right flight controller for your next airplane or a drone build is quite important. Yes, I know that some of you might say that hardware does not matter and your kwad will fly as good with the latest F7 flight controller as it would fly with Naze32. It…

  • Matek F765-WING specification and images

    Matek makes probably the most advanced hobby level flight controllers that run Open Source like Ardupilot or INAV. The Matek F765-WING is currently best-of-the-best. Here are some images and full specification:

  • The future of F3 board in INAV

    It’s time to start saying goodbye to F3 boards in INAV. History repeats itself and after we let F1 boards go, the same fate upon F3. Why? STM32F303 does not have enough RAM to handle everything that is demanded of it: OSD, telemetry, GPS, navigation, etc. INAV already is not enabling the majority of new…
