Matek F405-MiniTE ICM42605 Flight Controller

Are you in Australia looking to purchase a Matek F405-MiniTE Flight Controller? Here are the new features of the F405-miniTE compared to the F722-miniSE (EOL). The F405 has 1MB flash, allowing it to run ArduPilot. Even with INAV firmware, the F722 has limited flash, causing some features to be removed. The F722's advantage is that all UARTs have built - in inversion, which isn't necessary as the CRSF protocol is widely used in new receivers. The redesigned target MATEKF405TE supports 8x bi - directional DSHOT. It also supports DJI air unit PnP and has a 10V BEC for DJI OSD or analog VTX. Compared to the F722 - miniSE that supports 8 motors or 6 motors + 2 servos, the F405 - miniTE supports 8 motors + 3 servos in INAV/BF multirotor mixer. It comes with the InvenSense GEN3 IMU ICM42605. FC Specifications: MCU is STM32F405RGT6, IMU is ICM42605, OSD is AT7456E, Baro is Goertek SPL06 - 001 (I2C), and it has a 16M - byte Flash memory for blackbox. There are 6x UARTs, 1x Softserial_Tx option, 12x PWM outputs (8x Dshot), 1x I2C, 4x ADC (VBAT, Current, RSSI, Airspeed), 2x PINIO. It has 1x SH1.0_8pin connector (Vbat/G/Curr/R3/S1/S2/S3/S4) and 1x SH1.0_6pin connector for DJI FPV Air Unit, along with 3x LEDs for FC STATUS (Blue, Green) and a 3.3V indicator (Red). It has dual BECs, 5V 1.7A & 10V 1.4A, with the 10V output being ON/OFF switchable. It can be converted from 20mm to 30.5mm mounting. Power: Input is 6 - 30V (2 - S LiPo), BEC has 5V 1.7A, Max.2A, and 10V 1.4A for VTX or DJI Air Unit. The battery voltage sensor is 1K:20K (INAV scale 2100, BF scale 210), and it has no built - in current sensor but supports external current sensors of PDB/4in1. Firmware: It supports ArduPilot (MatekF405 - TE), INAV (MATEKF405TE), and BetaFlight (MATEKF405TE). Physical: Mounting options include 20 x 20mm/Φ3mm with Silicon Grommets, 20 x 20mm/Φ2mm with Silicon & Brass Grommets, and 30.5 x 30.5mm/Φ3mm with Conversion Plate and Silicon Grommets. Dimensions are 28 x 28 mm and it weighs 5g. What's included: 1x FC F405 - miniTE, 1x 20mm to 30.5mm conversion plate (blue PCB), 6x Silicon grommets M4 to M3, 6x Brass grommets M3 to M2, 1x SH1.0_8pin cable 5cm (including 2x 8pin connectors) for 4in1 ESC, 1x SH1.0_6pin to GH1.25_8pin cable 8cm for DJI Air Unit.

Using the Matek F405 - MiniTE Flight Controller is a breeze. First, make sure to choose the right mounting option according to your needs, whether it's 20 x 20mm or 30.5 x 30.5mm. Connect the appropriate cables, like the SH1.0_8pin cable for the 4in1 ESC and the SH1.0_6pin to GH1.25_8pin cable for the DJI Air Unit. When it comes to power, input a voltage between 6 - 30V (2 - S LiPo). The 5V 1.7A BEC can handle up to 2A, and you can use the 10V 1.4A BEC for your VTX or DJI Air Unit. Remember, there's no built - in current sensor, so you'll need to use an external one if required. For firmware, you can choose between ArduPilot, INAV, or BetaFlight. When using the controller, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Also, make sure all connections are secure before each use. In terms of maintenance, check the cables and connectors regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you're not using the controller for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place.
