Why do I torture myself.
I bought the BetaFPV 2-4S 12A AIO FC.
After 2 motors died in a week (wire fell off), GEPRC was really nice and sent me replacemet 1204 - so the 1204 went into this build. Their SMART35 is CineLog35 are awesome with top-notch build quality... CineLog25 is meh. IMHO.
The BetaFPV board is tiny. And the pads are a challenge. There is the usual UART1 and UART2 on F411. But BetaFPV has a 2nd TX2 and a UART6?? Electrical wizzardry? No. Don't be fooled. Its just 2 Soft Serials.
Problem1
The pads are VERY poorly laid out. If you are new to soldering or coming from Mamba easy big pad stack you will be in world of hurt.
The diagram is fairly confusing with criss-crossing lines.
Problem2.
Website says its GH-30. But it came flashed with GH-25 16.7 for ESC.
I flashed BlueJay (req for rpm filtering) and tested each motor direction.
It came with 4.2.0.. uhh pretty old. I flashed BF 4.3.1.
Problem3.
Its now.. um. Dead. I flashed it. I setup everything. I couldnt arm because I had GPS_Rescue, so I disabled GPS mode.
And now... its blank. There is no OSD. On USB connection it says no Gyro and looks like it has defaults.
