Flight Controller H743-WLITE
1. Product Summary
1.1. Product Description
The Matek Systems H743-WLITE is a compact and high-performance flight controller designed for fixed-wing, VTOL, and large UAV aircraft. It is based on the STM32H743VIH6 480 MHz microcontroller and integrates IMU ICM42688-P and DPS310 barometer. This controller supports advanced flight stacks such as ArduPilot and INAV, making it suitable for both hobbyist and professional applications. The WLITE version includes a built-in Power Distribution Board (PDB) and current sensor for simplified installation and power monitoring.
