G474-HLite Flybarless Flight Controller
Description
1. Product Summary
1.1. Product Description
The Matek Systems G474-HLite is a compact, high-performance flybarless flight controller designed for RC helicopters. Powered by the STM32G474CE microcontroller and equipped with advanced sensors including the ICM42688-P IMU and SPL06 barometer, this unit delivers fast response, precise control, and smooth flight stabilization. It supports Rotorflight firmware and provides multiple UARTs, PWM outputs, and blackbox logging — all in a lightweight 9-gram form factor.
1.2. Product Features
- MCU: STM32G474CE, 170 MHz Cortex-M4 core with 512 kB Flash memory.
- IMU: ICM42688-P gyro/accelerometer for superior flight stability.
- Barometer: SPL06 pressure sensor for precise altitude control.
- Blackbox: 128 MB onboard NAND memory for flight data recording.
- USB-C interface for easy configuration and firmware updates.
- 3.5 UART ports and up to 6 PWM outputs for servos and motor control.
- Wide input voltage range: 4.5 V – 14 V (2S–4S LiPo compatible).
- Compact size (30 × 23 × 13 mm) with vibration-damping 16 × 16 mm mount.
- Low static current draw: ~60 mA @ 5 V.
- Rotorflight firmware support for flybarless helicopter systems.
1.3. Applications
- RC Helicopters: Flybarless flight stabilization and control.
- UAV Research: Small-scale aircraft requiring precise flight feedback.
- Prototyping: Lightweight platforms needing advanced IMU & data logging.
- Educational Robotics: Motion-stabilized control experiments.

- Connect servos and motor ESCs to PWM outputs 1–6 as configured in software.
- Use UART ports for telemetry, SBUS, CRSF, or GPS peripherals.
- Provide clean power via the “Vx” pad (4.5–14 V) or 5 V BEC output.
- Perform gyro calibration before first flight and check orientation alignment.
5.2. Typical Applications
- RC helicopter flybarless stabilization systems.
- Compact UAVs requiring high-precision flight control.
- Test platforms for Rotorflight firmware development.
- Hobbyist and professional helicopter projects.
