Again huge thanks to Sandra, Oscar and Banggood for providing this flight controller for review.
The RealAcc V1 F3 BetaFlight brushed micro FC is available from BangGood here - https://goo.gl/fBoIuC
1st thoughts.
The RealAcc v1 brushed micro FC is so tiny but pack's such a huge punch it has well earned the title of HARDware! The board offers a whole list of features that up till now have generally been limited to larger quad's. Its a soft mounting board so can be attached to almost any frame with just a small strip of 3M foam tape.
So tiny!
Packaging.
As its just a board the packaging was minimal as expected, a good roll of packing foam and an anti static bag, nothing else needed.
Features.
The board is an F3 betaflight acro
The board has pads for a buzzer (included), LEDs, regulated 3.3v and 5v, offers 10amp FETs and transistors plus has an integrated OSD for your FPV feed. All on a board that weighs under 3 gram's!
All Soldered.
Setup.
The setup for the board through beta flight seemed simple enough, flash with latest Omnibus firmware, select RX options, increase pwm rate, choose brushed motor type, select arm and failsafe switches. Then it all fell apart when it came to checking the channels, no inputs from the TX at all!
From the other side.
As with the TX and RX my ability to continue the review has come to a screeching halt as I can't get the FC in the air yet! I will be adding to and updating this review as I find solution's...
Edit to add photo's and these further comments...
...Solutions, yeah?
So I re-soldered the RX, connected again to betaflight and had the same issues - connection recognised on betaflight as serial connection (by chain link icon,) still no stick or switch inputs recognised. I tried changing to SBUS (hold RX bind button for 2 secs and change TX options ((output - PPM, Serial - SBUS)) looks like its bound, ie. RX blue led goes from flashing to solid... Still no joy.
So tried again from the beginning - reset TX to factory defaults, went thru activating switches, re-setup iBUS etc. then tried to reinstall betaflight - omnibus and... uh oh FLAMES, maybe in my inexperience I did something wrong?!
So huge sorry to Sandra, Oscar and Banggood but I am afraid that this is going to have to conclude my review!
