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…

Beitian BN-180 GPS Module Troubleshooting
Beitian BN-180 is one of the most popular small, and cheap GPS modules used with INAV on airplanes, or on Betaflight on quadcopters. Most of the time, they work just fine, but I discovered that they could make problems from time to time. Here is a shortlist of possible issues and solutions for Beitian BN-180…

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…

Omnibus F4 Pinout
Omnibus F4 is a new family of All-In-One (AIO) STM32F4 based flight controllers with integrated OSD (On-Screen-Display) for FPV purposes. Basically, it is Airbot F4 / Flip32 F4 with added MAX7456 and some minor tweaks.

Connecting ultrasonic rangefinder (Sonar) to INAV
Keeping constant altitude with a drone is not a trivial task. Specially, if drone is supposed to keep give altitude very precisely few meters above the ground. One of the reasons for it is difficulty of reading precise altitude. Barometer can drift when atmospheric pressure changes and can produce a lot of noise. GPS is…

How to flash MW OSD to Micro MinimOSD
While playing with newly arrived Micro MinimOSD and attempting to flash it with latest MW OSD software, I’ve discovered that offical tutorial, as well as many other are missing one tiny detail that makes whole process much harder than expected. In theory, MinimOSD just Arduino Pro Mini with additional hardware. So, in theory, you plug in…
