So since I can find very little info or reviews on YT, I wondered if anyone on here has one. It will be used on a 3.5-4" 6S 1408 build and the motors are not going to produce even half of the rated output of the ESC's. Mostly my interest is in the fact it uses connectors and plug for all major connections to the FC, which cuts back on the amount of soldering I need to do. Thanks to anyone who can give me any insight into potential issues or anything else helpful.

Hi, I'm pretty new to FPV and was looking to get this, it does seem to have a lot of features. I'm planning to use it for a 5" quad with 2207 motors, but the only thing I was unsure about was the ESC, I couldn't find much info on the F55 BLHeli_S ESC that's in this stack. I'm still learning about all the different ESC options, but am I right in saying something like a 'NeutronRC 20/30 Hold Mini 45A AM32 4in1 ESC' has a more modern CPU on it and will support more features? However for £50 is seems like a good deal, and it's tough to find other stacks with all the features for the price. The iFlight Blitz ATF435 Flight Stack is worth looking at also, it looks to be pretty similar. • Posts: 2,401 Threads: 74 Likes Received: 1,344 in 1,002 posts Likes Given: 782 Joined: Apr 2022 Reputation: 41 I actually don't know for the ESC, but would prefer BLHeli for the ESC. As to quality, it's a Mamba and they tend to be ok for quality. I am actually going to use mine most likely not with a 4-in-1, so it's almost moot. For now I have bought one the NeutronRC F435 FC's to have a play with and once I get a handle on the firmware side of things, then i will take it from there. But initially I am looking at using it in combination with 4x 30A Single/Individual ESC's, probably the UMT Chaos 30A ESC's on my forthcoming 5-6S 1408 build.

Hopefully yours was a one off. I still intend to try it or maybe just get a NeutronRC and play with the single ESC's I have. I might just buy the FC to play with. They sell for about £20 over here. The 4in1 is less useful and I already have a 30x30 4in1 that would work with it. The soldering side is a saga in itself, but I tried running the iron from my left hand and it might be more workable than running it in my right hand. Going to try soldering something up later this week and see. Also I wasn't using decent flux and now have a bunch of the Amtech flux (in a syringe) that loads of people recommend on YT, so will see if that makes a difference. The main problem though is my hands shake like I have Parkinsons, which makes precision an absolute nightmare. So any FC with connectors makes life at least 50% easier. If I kill an ELRS module or VTX, then it's bad, but it's not a £40-60 part.

Needed to toggle in Betaflight Option tab "Show all serial devices (for development only)", then it connected. I couldn't get it into DFU mode in case you want to reflash it with a new firmware. It flies alright, couldn't complain to be honest. I am just slapping my quad around so I don't need all these fine tunings etc. Hope it helps • Posts: 2,401 Threads: 74 Likes Received: 1,344 in 1,002 posts Likes Given: 782 Joined: Apr 2022 Reputation: 41 03-Apr-2024, 04:49 PM (This post was last modified: 03-Apr-2024, 04:49 PM by Pathfinder075.) I don't think you can change the firmware as easily anyway. From reading the whole ArteryTek / NeutronRC thread it seems they have a convoluted way of doing development and have a habit of releasing firmware that kills boards, so if the firmware it comes with is stable and works, I wouldn't touch it unless you are happy to accept the possibilities of it dying.

Hi guys, just gonna post this here so if there is anyone looking for a solution to run newer Betaflight versions they might see this. I first considered building Betaflight 4.5rc4 firmware locally as there is no target for this FC, but then I checked out the contents of the firmware and config for DARWINF435 and came to the conclusion that they are similar and has the needed drivers included, but of course all the config is wrong. When flashing the Mamba F435 with the Darwin target pretty much nothing works, but so far I've gotten gyro, accelerometer, barometer, adc and flash working. And DSHOT etc ofc. Not entirely sure about the UART mapping (because I haven't tested it yet) but thats easy to change. So what you want to do is flash with the cloud build for DARWINF435 and then apply this config via CLI, save and reboot: Code: # resources resource BEEPER 1 B11 resource MOTOR 1 C09 resource MOTOR 2 C08 resource MOTOR 3 C07 resource MOTOR 4 C06 resource MOTOR 5 A00 resource MOTOR 6 A01 resource MOTOR 7 A02 resource MOTOR 8 A03 resource LED_STRIP 1 A06 resource SERIAL_TX 1 B06 resource SERIAL_TX 2 A08 resource SERIAL_TX 3 C04 resource SERIAL_TX 4 C10 resource SERIAL_TX 5 C12 resource SERIAL_TX 6 A04 resource SERIAL_RX 1 B07 resource SERIAL_RX 3 C05 resource SERIAL_RX 4 C11 resource SERIAL_RX 5 D02 resource SERIAL_RX 6 A05 resource I2C_SCL 1 B08 resource I2C_SDA 1 B09 resource LED 1 C14 resource LED 2 C15 resource SPI_SCK 1 B03 resource SPI_SDI 1 B04 resource SPI_SDO 1 B05 resource ADC_BATT 1 C01 resource ADC_CURR 1 C02 resource PINIO 1 C03 resource PINIO 2 A07 resource FLASH_CS 1 B10 resource GYRO_CS 1 C13 # timer timer A00 AF1 # pin A00: TIM2 CH1 (AF1) timer A01 AF1 # pin A01: TIM2 CH2 (AF1) timer A02 AF1 # pin A02: TIM2 CH3 (AF1) timer C06 AF2 # pin C06: TIM3 CH1 (AF2) timer C07 AF2 # pin C07: TIM3 CH2 (AF2) timer C08 AF2 # pin C08: TIM3 CH3 (AF2) timer C09 AF3 # pin C09: TIM8 CH4 (AF3) timer A09 AF1 # pin A09: TIM1 CH2 (AF1) timer A10 AF1 # pin A10: TIM1 CH3 (AF1) timer A06 AF2 # pin A06: TIM3 CH1 (AF2) # dma dma pin A03 11 # pin A03: DMA2 Channel 5 Request 59 dma pin B01 13 # pin B01: DMA2 Channel 7 Request 64 dma pin A00 10 # pin A00: DMA2 Channel 4 Request 56 dma pin A01 8 # pin A01: DMA2 Channel 2 Request 57 dma pin A02 9 # pin A02: DMA2 Channel 3 Request 58 dma pin C06 0 # pin C06: DMA1 Channel 1 Request 61 dma pin C07 2 # pin C07: DMA1 Channel 3 Request 62 dma pin C08 1 # pin C08: DMA1 Channel 2 Request 63 dma pin C09 3 # pin C09: DMA1 Channel 4 Request 52 dma pin A09 12 # pin A09: DMA2 Channel 6 Request 43 dma pin A10 7 # pin A10: DMA2 Channel 1 Request 44 dma pin A06 6 # pin A06: DMA1 Channel 7 Request 61 # feature feature TELEMETRY feature LED_STRIP feature OSD # serial serial 1 64 115200 57600 0 115200 # master set acc_calibration = -7,-7,36,1 set baro_i2c_device = 1 set adc_device = 3 set blackbox_disable_bat = ON set blackbox_disable_alt = ON set blackbox_disable_acc = ON set ibata_scale = 100 set debug_mode = GYRO_SCALED set gyro_1_sensor_align = CW270 set gyro_1_align_yaw = 2700 profile 0 profile 1 profile 2 profile 3 # restore original profile selection profile 0 rateprofile 0 rateprofile 1 rateprofile 2 rateprofile 3 # restore original rateprofile selection rateprofile 0 # save configuration save
Not sure but these might also be needed: Code: resource SPI_SDI 2 B14 resource SPI_SDO 2 B15
