# KakuteF4 AIO Flight Controller |
||||
|
||||
The [KakuteF4 AIO](http://www.holybro.com/product/47) is a flight controller produced by [Holybro](http://www.holybro.com). |
||||
|
||||
## Features |
||||
|
||||
- STM32F405 microcontroller |
||||
- ICM20689 IMU |
||||
- BMP280 barometer |
||||
- MAX7456 OSD |
||||
- 5 UARTs |
||||
- 4 PWM outputs |
||||
|
||||
## Pinout |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
## UART Mapping |
||||
|
||||
- SERIAL0 -> USB |
||||
- SERIAL1 -> UART6 (Telem1) |
||||
- SERIAL2 -> UART1 (FrSky S.Port) |
||||
- SERIAL3 -> UART4 (GPS) |
||||
- SERIAL4 -> UART5 (ESC Telemetry, RX only) |
||||
- SERIAL5 -> UART3 (spare, TX only) |
||||
|
||||
## RC Input |
||||
|
||||
RC input is configured on the R6 (UART3_RX) pin. It supports all RC protocols. |
||||
|
||||
## FrSky Telemetry |
||||
|
||||
FrSky Telemetry is supported using the SmartPort pad (UART1). You need |
||||
to set the following parameters to enable support for FrSky S.PORT. It |
||||
has builtin inverters and a diode to allow for operation from a single |
||||
pin with no special adapters. |
||||
|
||||
- SERIAL2_PROTOCOL 10 |
||||
- SERIAL2_OPTIONS 0 |
||||
|
||||
## OSD Support |
||||
|
||||
The KakuteF4 supports OSD using OSD_TYPE 1 (MAX7456 driver). |
||||
|
||||
## PWM Output |
||||
|
||||
The KakuteF4 supports up to 4 PWM outputs. The pads for motor output |
||||
M1 to M4 on the above diagram are for the 4 outputs. All 4 outputs |
||||
support DShot as well as all PWM types. The M5 and M6 outputs are not |
||||
currently available with ArduPilot. |
||||
|
||||
The PWM is in 2 groups: |
||||
|
||||
- PWM 1 and 4 in group1 |
||||
- PWM 2 and 3 in group2 |
||||
|
||||
Channels within the same group need to use the same output rate. If |
||||
any channel in a group uses DShot then all channels in the group need |
||||
to use DShot. |
||||
|
||||
## Battery Monitoring |
||||
|
||||
The board has a builting voltage and current sensor. The voltage |
||||
sensor can handle up to 6S LiPo batteries. |
||||
|
||||
The correct battery setting parameters are: |
||||
|
||||
- BATT_MONITOR 4 |
||||
- BATT_VOLT_PIN 13 |
||||
- BATT_CURR_PIN 12 |
||||
- BATT_VOLT_MULT 10.1 |
||||
- BATT_AMP_PERVLT 17.0 |
||||
|
||||
## Compass |
||||
|
||||
The KakuteF4 AIO does not have a builting compass, but you can attach an external compass using I2C on the SDA and SCL pads. |
||||
|
||||
## Logging |
||||
|
||||
The KakuteF4 does not support on-board logging at this time. |
||||
|
||||
## Loading Firmware |
||||
|
||||
Initial firmware load can be done with DFU by plugging in USB with the |
||||
bootloader button pressed. Then you should load the "with_bl.hex" |
||||
firmware, using your favourite DFU loading tool. |
||||
|
||||
Once the initial firmware is loaded you can update the firmware using |
||||
any ArduPilot ground station software. Updates should be done with the |
||||
*.apj firmware files. |
