Flight Controller F405-WMN
1. Product Summary
1.1. Product Description
The Matek Systems F405-WMN is a high-performance and compact flight controller designed for fixed-wing, VTOL, and professional FPV aircraft. It integrates the STM32F405RGT6 MCU running at 168 MHz, precision ICM42688-P IMU, and SPL06-001 barometer. The controller features an integrated PDB with a built-in 90 A current sensor, dual camera input, and powerful 5 A servo BEC output. Supporting ArduPilot and INAV firmware, it provides exceptional stability, accurate telemetry, and versatile connectivity for both small and mid-size UAVs.
