Matek F405-miniTE Flight Controller: Advanced Performance for Multirotor Drones

The Matek F405-miniTE Flight Controller is designed for high-performance multirotor and FPV drones. Equipped with the powerful STM32F405RGT6 MCU and advanced features, this flight controller supports various firmware, including INAV, Betaflight, and ArduPilot. It offers multiple connection options, including 12 PWM outputs, 6 UARTs, and DJI FPV Air Unit PnP compatibility, making it ideal for professional drone builds.

Key Features of the Matek F405-miniTE

Powerful MCU and Advanced Sensor Suite

Powered by the STM32F405RGT6 MCU, this flight controller delivers exceptional performance, especially when running on firmware such as ArduPilot and INAV. It features an ICM42605 or ICM42688-P IMU for precise gyro and accelerometer readings, and the Goertek SPL06-001 barometer for accurate altitude sensing.

Compatibility with INAV, Betaflight, and ArduPilot

The Matek F405-miniTE supports INAV, Betaflight, and ArduPilot firmware. With 1MB of flash memory, this controller can handle the full feature set of ArduPilot, while providing flexibility in various flight modes. Users should note that INAV 7.x.x firmware will resolve the current DMA clash issue with DSHOT compatibility for S3, S5, and S7 outputs.

High-Capacity BEC and DJI Air Unit Support

This flight controller includes a dual BEC system, with 5V 1.7A and 10V 1.4A outputs. The 10V BEC is specifically designed to power a DJI FPV Air Unit or an analog VTX, providing stable power even under demanding conditions. The 10V output is switchable, allowing greater flexibility for different configurations.

Installation Tips

• Firmware: Ensure you flash the controller with Betaflight 4.3.x or newer for proper compatibility with the ICM42688-P IMU. Betaflight 4.2.x does not support this IMU version.
• Power: For a stable 10V BEC output, ensure the input voltage is greater than 11V. If input voltage is ≤11V, output voltage will be 90% of the input.
