4. Орнотуу жана зымдар
4.1 Connection with FC & Motors
It is strongly recommended to use the Low ESR capacitor included in the package to prevent the stack from being burnt out by voltage spikes during power-up. The FC and ESC can also be connected via direct soldering if preferred. Refer to the soldering pads definition in the diagrams below.
4.2 Электр өткөргүч схемасы
The following diagrams illustrate the comprehensive wiring for various peripherals. Ensure all connections are made accurately.

4.3 SBUS Receiver Connection Notice
SBUS кабылдагычын колдонууда ресивердин SBUS сигнал зымы учуу контроллерунун алдыңкы тарабындагы SBUS аянтчасына туташтырылышы керек (бул платочкада UART2 колдонулат).
If you are also using the DJI Air Unit (O3/Link/Vista/Air Unit V1), you will need to disconnect the SBUS signal wire from the Air Unit harness. Failure to do so will prevent the SBUS receiver from being properly recognized by the flight controller. You can use tweezers to pick out the SBUS wire from the 6-pin harness connector (or directly cut this wire) and insulate the exposed part of the wire carefully.

4.4 DJI Air Unit Connection
The DJI Air Unit plug is completely compatible with DJI O3/RunCam Link/Caddx Vista/DJI Air Unit V1, requiring no wire changes.

5. Операция
5.1 Configure FC and ESC via Bluetooth
The SpeedyBee app allows you to wirelessly configure your Flight Controller and ESC. Connect your smartphone to the stack via Bluetooth to tune your quad anytime, anywhere.
5.2 Change Motor Directions Wirelessly
After building or replacing a motor, you can easily change motor directions wirelessly using the SpeedyBee app. This feature works for all BLHeli32, BLHeli_S, and BlueJay ESCs. To use this feature, go to the App > Motors > Motor Direction Settings.
5.3 LED Pads with Simple Switching
The FC features 4 sets of LED pads. Solder your LED strips to these pads for enhanced visibility. With a single tap on the BOOT button, you can cycle through different LED presets. A long press on the BOOT button switches to Betaflight LED mode.
5.4 Onboard Battery Life Indicator
The flight controller includes a 4-level LED battery capacity indicator. Connect your battery, and the LEDs will instantly show the battery level, eliminating the need for an external LiPo checker.
5.5 Support for 8 Motors (X8/Y6/Fixed-Wings)
Both V3 and V4 flight controllers support 8 motors, making them suitable for X8 drones, Y6 drones, or fixed-wing aircraft. You can configure these setups directly through the SpeedyBee app.
6. Техникалык тейлөө
- Программалык камсыздоонун жаңыртуулары: Regularly check the SpeedyBee website or app for the latest firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
- Тазалоо: Keep the FC and ESC free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air for cleaning. Avoid using liquids.
- Физикалык текшерүү: Periodically inspect all solder joints and connections for any signs of damage or corrosion. Ensure all screws and grommets are securely in place.
- Сактагыч: Store the stack in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Кыйынчылыктарды
7.1 Жалпы маселелер жана чечимдер
- SBUS Receiver Not Recognized (with DJI Air Unit): If your ELRS receiver is not recognized when using a DJI Air Unit, ensure the SBUS signal wire from the Air Unit harness is disconnected from the flight controller. This wire can interfere with the external SBUS receiver. Carefully remove or cut and insulate this wire.
- Тtage Spikes/Burnout: Always use the provided Low ESR capacitor with the ESC to protect against voltage spikes, especially during power-up.
- SD Card Issues (F405 V3): The F405 V3 FC may have compatibility issues with certain microSD cards. Ensure your microSD card is Standard (SDSC) or High Capacity (SDHC) and formatted with FAT16 or FAT32. Extended capacity cards (SDXC) are not supported. For F405 V4, compatibility is improved, supporting C4, C6, C10, and higher cards.
- No Heat/Overheating: The V4 ESC is designed with an aluminum alloy heatsink for efficient MOSFET heat dissipation, ensuring stable operation without excessive heat. If experiencing unusual heat, verify proper airflow and mounting.
8. Колдонуучунун кеңештери
- Зымсыз ыңгайлуулук: Leverage the SpeedyBee app's Bluetooth connectivity for quick field adjustments to your FC and ESC settings without needing a computer.
- Батарея мониторинги: Utilize the onboard 4-level LED battery indicator on the FC to quickly check your LiPo battery status, reducing the need for a separate checker.
- Өркүндөтүлгөн коргоо: The V4 ESC features a TVS protective diode and numerous high-quality capacitors for superior surge protection and smoother flight performance.
- Blackbox Logging: Both V3 and V4 support Blackbox logging to a microSD card (up to 4GB). For V4, this feature is more reliable with improved SD card compatibility, allowing for extensive flight data analysis.
