Are you in Australia and searching for a top - notch flight controller? Look no further than the BetaFPV F4 1S 12A AIO Brushless Flight Controller! This amazing controller is perfect for building lightweight 3' toothpick drones like the HX115 SE Toothpick Drone. If you aim to fly a larger FPV drone than 65mm/75mm on 1S power with smooth and powerful actions, this FC with an integrated 1S 12A ESC is your ideal pick.
Why choose this flight controller? First, it's the best option for ultra - lightweight 3' toothpick drones such as the HX115 SE FPV Quad. While most 1S flight controllers on the market come with a 5A ESC, this one integrates a 1S 12A ESC, offering more sufficient power. Second, it features a built - in current meter, 2 programmable RGB LEDs, and an SPI Frsky receiver. There are also pads for external receivers, buzzers, etc. Third, it has a whoop mounting hole pattern, compatible with most 1S 3' frames. The large pads for soldering motor cables make the soldering process a breeze.
Here are the specifications:
- FC: It weighs 4.74 g (without power cable and BT2.0 connector), has a STM32F411CEU6 CPU (100MHZ), an MPU6000 six - axis (SPI connection), and a betaflight_4.2.0_STM32F411 firmware version. It comes with a built - in BetaFlight OSD and supports an integrated SPI Frsky Receiver/Futaba Receiver. The motor pin connector is 1.25mm header pins, the mounting hole size is 29mm x 29mm, and it has a Type - C USB port.
- 1S 12A ESC: It has a built - in ESC with 12A continuous and 25A peak current, an input voltage of 1S Lipo, and an ESC firmware of Z_H_30_REV16_7.HEX. It supports various signals like D - shot150, D - shot300, D - shot600, Oneshot125, Multishot, and PWM. This new BLHeli_S firmware is supported by BLHeli Configurator, BLHeliSuite, and Bluejay Configurator.
Regarding the diagram, UART1, UART2, and SBUS pads are available for external receivers. The buzz pads need some modification to work. The current meter is integrated on the FC board.
For the 12A 1S ESC, a 5A ESC is enough for 65mm or 75mm Whoop drones, but for 3' propellers and 1102/1202.5 motors, the 12A ESC provides the smooth and powerful flight you desire. Currently, the board marked '1 - 2S' doesn't support 2S smoothly with the released ESC firmware, but the team is working on it.
The built - in SPI Frsky Receiver (CC2500 chip) makes the FC compatible with Futaba S - FHSS, Frsky D8, and D16 protocols. You can set the protocol as needed in Betaflight Configurator.
The package includes 1 F4 1S 12A AIO FC (Frsky), 4 anti - vibration rubber dampers, 8 M2 screws, and 8 M2 screw nuts.




Using the BetaFPV F4 1S 12A AIO Brushless Flight Controller is quite straightforward. First, make sure to connect it properly to your drone. You can use the provided anti - vibration rubber dampers and screws to mount it on the frame. The large pads for motor cables make soldering easy, so solder the motor cables carefully.
When it comes to the receiver, you can use the built - in SPI Frsky Receiver or connect an external receiver using the available UART1, UART2, and SBUS pads. Set the protocol according to your needs in the Betaflight Configurator.
For the ESC, ensure that you are using a 1S Lipo battery as it's designed for this input voltage. The new BLHeli_S firmware is supported by several configurators, so you can easily configure it.
Some important notes: The buzz pads need modification to work, so don't expect them to function right out of the box. Also, currently, the board doesn't support 2S power smoothly with the released ESC firmware, so stick to 1S for now.
For maintenance, keep the controller clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you notice any issues with the current meter or other components, check the connections first. If problems persist, contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
