Flight Controller F405-TE
Description
1. Product Summary
1.1. Product Description
The Matek Systems F405-TE Flight Controller is a high-performance and feature-rich unit designed for fixed-wing, VTOL, and professional FPV UAV platforms. Powered by a STM32F405RGT6 168 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 processor, the board integrates a high-precision ICM42688-P IMU, SPL06-001 barometer, and a MicroSD slot for BlackBox logging. With six UART ports, eleven PWM outputs, and wide power input up to 36 V (8S LiPo), the F405-TE provides versatile connectivity, precise telemetry, and advanced flight control capability. Compatible with ArduPilot, INAV, and BetaFlight firmware.
1.2. Product Features
- MCU: STM32F405RGT6 (168 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 core).
- IMU: ICM42688-P (SPI, 6-axis gyro/accelerometer).
- Barometer: SPL06-001 (I²C digital air pressure sensor).
- Power Input: 9 V – 36 V (3S – 8S LiPo).
- MicroSD Slot: Built-in for BlackBox flight data logging.
- UART Ports: 6 full UART interfaces for GPS, telemetry, and peripherals.
- I²C Bus: 1 port for compass or airspeed sensors.
- PWM Outputs: Up to 11 servo/motor channels.
- Mounting Pattern: 30.5 × 30.5 mm (Φ4 mm holes with grommets).
- Power Outputs: 5 V @ 1.5 A and 12 V @ 2 A BECs + 220 A current sensor (variant dependent).
- Weight: Approx. 10 g with full connector set.
- Firmware Compatibility: ArduPilot (“MatekF405-TE”), INAV (“MATEKF405TE_SD”), BetaFlight (“MATEKF405TE”).
1.3. Applications
- Fixed-Wing Aircraft: FPV wings, long-range, or mapping UAVs.
- VTOL Platforms: Multi-motor hybrid UAVs with servo/motor mix outputs.
- Research / Development: Suitable for academic and commercial UAV prototypes.
- FPV / Cinematic Drones: Stable control and extensive telemetry connectivity.

4. Integration & Usage Notes
- Supports ArduPilot target
MatekF405-TEand INAV targetMATEKF405TE_SD. - DSHOT protocol is not supported on pins S3, S5, S7 (due to DMA conflict); use PWM or ONESHOT.
- Ensure current and voltage sensor scaling is set correctly in firmware (e.g., 66.7 A/V for 220 A sensor).
- BlackBox logging via MicroSD slot enables precise flight tuning and diagnostics.
- Compatible with 3S–8S LiPo input; verify power polarity before connection.
- Mount on vibration-isolated pads to ensure IMU accuracy and stability.
5. Environmental Conditions

| Operating Temperature Range | -20 °C ~ +80 °C |
| Storage Temperature Range | -40 °C ~ +90 °C |
| Humidity Range | 5 % ~ 95 % (non-condensing) |
6. Precautions
- Observe correct polarity when connecting LiPo power to avoid damage.
- Do not exceed 8S battery voltage limit (36 V max).
- Ensure adequate airflow for heat dissipation under high load operation.
- Check IMU and barometer readings after mounting to verify proper alignment.
- Discontinued product — verify availability and authenticity before purchase.
