3. Software Configuration (BetaFlight)
Connect the flight controller to your computer using a Type-C USB cable. Open the BetaFlight Configurator software. Ensure the correct firmware target for the F722 MCU is selected. Configure your receiver, motors, OSD, and other settings as required for your drone build. The ESC supports Dshot 150/300/600 protocols.
Operating Instructions
1. Initial Power-Up and Arming
After completing all physical and software configurations, connect the drone battery. The flight controller will initialize. Ensure your radio transmitter is powered on and linked. Arm the drone only in a safe environment, away from people and obstacles.
2. Flight Data Recording (Black Box)
The integrated 16MB black box automatically records flight data. This data can be downloaded via BetaFlight Configurator for post-flight analysis, helping to diagnose performance issues or optimize tuning parameters. Connect the flight controller to your computer and navigate to the Blackbox tab in BetaFlight to access the logs.
Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all solder joints and connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
- Cleaning: Gently clean the boards with a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris. Avoid using liquids.
- Firmware Updates: Keep your flight controller and ESC firmware updated to the latest stable versions. Refer to the BetaFlight and BLHeli_S/BLHeli_32 documentation for update procedures.
- Storage: Store the unit in a dry, cool environment when not in use.
Troubleshooting
- No Power: Check battery connection, polarity, and ensure no short circuits are present. Verify the main power cable is securely connected to the ESC.
- Motors Not Spinning:
- Ensure motors are correctly wired to the ESC.
- Verify ESC calibration and protocol settings in BetaFlight.
- Check motor direction and assignment in BetaFlight.
- No USB Connection: Try a different USB cable or port. Ensure BetaFlight Configurator is up-to-date. Install necessary drivers (e.g., STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver).
- Unstable Flight: Review black box logs for insights into flight controller performance. Check for vibrations, correct PID tuning, and proper propeller balance.
- OSD Issues: Verify OSD settings in BetaFlight. Ensure the AT7456E chip is recognized.
