4. Integration & Usage Notes
- Use the correct firmware target:
MATEKH743for ArduPilot or corresponding INAV target. - Ensure clean power input; for VBAT < 10 V the 8 V BEC output may drop below nominal.
- Mount the controller on anti-vibration pads to protect the dual IMUs.
- Keep sensor and power wiring separate to reduce EMI noise on CAN and I²C buses.
- Use CAN Bus for GPS, digital air speed, and DroneCAN peripherals for best performance.
- For high-current servos or FPV systems, use external BEC if required.
5. Environmental Conditions

6. Precautions
- Verify correct polarity of power connections before power-up.
- Do not exceed 36 V (8S LiPo) input voltage limit.
- Check BEC voltage with a multimeter before connecting sensitive electronics.
- Avoid shorting CAN Bus lines (C-H/C-L) or UART pins when powered.
- Use firmware recommended for your frame type and double-check target mapping.
