The Seriously Pro Racing F3 Mini Flight Controller (SPRacingF3Mini) was designed to give awesome flight performance in a tiny race-ready package. It has the latest sensors, race timing and logging technology in a flexible form factor and also features a built-in voltage regulator (BEC). Includes built in Accelerometer, Gyro, Compass & Barometer Sensors; Transponder LEDs and Code; MicroSD card socket and pin headers.

Features

The SPRacingF3Mini has some awesome world-first flight-controller features that makes it the board of choice for any new multi-rotor or fixed-wing build!

Jaw-Dropping Flight Performance The SPRacingF3Mini uses advanced processor, sensor and software technologies to make your aircraft fly like it's on rails. The SPRacingF3Mini flight-controller and the Cleanflight software enables the precision flying you need for fast FPV racing. Built-in 5v regulator (BEC) The built-in 5V regulator makes wiring-up simpler and cheaper. Fixed-wing aircraft also become so easy: connect receiver, battery, 2 servos and an ESC and you're done! MicroSD The SPRacingF3Mini is the first and only mini board that features a MicroSD card socket for logging. Supports MicroSD/SDHC up to 32GB! Configurable The SPRacingF3Mini runs Cleanflight which can be configured to suit your needs using a cross-platform GUI (Windows/OSX/Linux). Buttons The only mini board to feature two built-in buttons. Uses currently include receiver binding, configuration reset and bootloader entry, more uses planned! Unique code Each SPRacingF3Mini comes with a unique QR-CODE so you can download your personal transponder code. Developer Friendly Developer friendly debugging port (SWD) and boot mode selection, unbrickable bootloader. Battery Monitoring Built in battery voltage monitoring, input for additional current monitoring. I2C Port I2C port always powered, perfect for external sensors or always-on OLED Screen. Cleanflight Logos The SPRacingF3Mini features a copper-etched Cleanflight logo so you can show your support! Race Timing Transponder The SPRacingF3Mini is the first and only mini board that features a race transponder system for recording your lap times. Each board comes with a special transponder code to identify you at race events. Compatible with i-LAP receiver systems. Two LEDs for clockwise and anti-clockwise race tracks. Next-Generation CPU The SPRacingF3Mini has an ARM Cortex-M4 72Mhz CPU with Math co-processor (FPU) for efficient flight calculations that gets more done in less time. Loop times up to ~2x as fast as previous-generation STM32F1 based boards. USB The only full-featured mini-size board with USB socket which is not shared with serial ports. No more hassle configuring or flashing. Tiny and extremely lightweight The SPRacingF3Mini has a standard 36x36mm form-factor with 30.5mm mounting holes with detachable tabs for flexible mounting.The mini center section of the board measures 36x24mm. Broad RC receiver Support Supports SBus, SumH, SumD, Spektrum1024/2048, XBus, PPM. No external inverters required (built-in), receiver powered via flight battery or USB for easy configuration. Programmable LEDs Output for multi-colored LED strips - great for FPV racing, line-of-sight flying orientation and night flying. OneShot ESC Full support for OneShot ESCs for easy PID tuning and a sharper response. Sonar Sonar support for precision low-altitude hold. Buzzer Buzzer port for audible warnings and notifications. GPS Ready * With a full-set of sensors (Accelerometer, Gryoscope, Compass and Barometer) each SPRacingF3Mini is capable of GPS Navigation * Available in Cleanflight soon, New GPS features under active development.
