Summary of Contents for Cleanflight Seriously Pro Racing F7 DUAL
- Page 1 Seriously Pro SP Racing F7 DUAL Flight Controller Thank you for directly supporting the Cleanflight project with your purchase. Seriously Pro Racing F7 DUAL Flight Controller Manual (Version 3) Copyright © 2018 Dominic Clifton...
- Page 2 The SPRacingF7DUAL is also the first Cleanflight FC that has the PID-Audio feature. PID-Audio allows to you to hear how hard the PID controller is working and thus wether your tuning is optimal for your style of flight. You will learn to hear how your aircraft sounds, this is useful in many scenarios, such as detecting weather conditions, broken/damaged props, damaged arms, loose screws, etc.
- Page 3 Cleanflight comes with a detailed manual that is reviewed and maintained by the Cleanflight developers and community. No more out-of-date wiki pages and second-hand information. See http://cleanflight.com for links to the manual. PDF copies can be downloaded from the github releases pag- es. Ensure you reference the manual that is appropriate to your firmware version.

Page 4: Double Check
WARNINGS Failure to adhere to these warnings will void your warranty and destroy your flight controller. • When using ESCs that support active braking or battery regeneration ensure the FC is protected with a power supply filter. Damage to the FC caused by lack of protection is not warrantable. • Observe polarity at ALL TIMES. - Page 5 Pads for connecting an LED strip. Note that some LED strips require a MAXIMUM voltage LESS than 5V. In this case connect a DIODE between the LED strip + and the 5V BEC pad to drop the voltage. See Cleanflight 5V BEC manual for further details.
- Page 6 UART5/OSD socket Use the CAM_OSD_CONTROL and GND connections to control cameras OSD with the transmitter sticks. See Cleanflight manual/Betaflight wiki for details of connections and supported cameras. The FC uses a 1uF CAM_OSD_CONTROL capacitor to ground and 470ohm resistor in series with the data signal on PA0 - the usual camera OSD circuit.

IO socket for I2C/UART3/UART4 IO socket Use this socket to connect a GPS receiver with I2C MAG sensors to use Cleanflight GPS features. IMPORTANT: The 3.3v signals 5.0v is also supplied when powering via USB.

For other VTXs use set the VTX voltage bridge to either BATTERY voltages, refer to your VTX manual. SPRacingF7DUAL http://seriouslypro.com - http://cleanflight.com Page 8...
- Page 9 Cleanflight. For full details on how to enable logging, SD card speed requirements and how to view logs please see the Cleanflight software manual. Your aircraft will fly better if you analyze your logs and tune accordingly. SPRacingF7DUAL http://seriouslypro.com - http://cleanflight.com...

Page 10: Getting Started
• Disconnect ALL connectors and headers from the flight controller. • Install latest STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF257938 • Install and launch the Cleanflight Configurator tool https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cleanflight-configurator/enacoimjcgeinfnnnpajinjgmkahmfgb • Connect flight controller to computer via USB cable. • Select the correct COM port if it is not automatically detected. - Page 11 Cleanflight configurator tool. (See Firmware Upgrade section) For further software configuration see the getting started guide in the Cleanflight manual. The basic steps, after firmware upgrade, are as follows. • Choose board alignment - you can mount it in any orientation, not just with the arrow facing forwards.

Page 12: Firmware Upgrade
Cleaflight/Betaflight and manufacturing lead-times the firmware installed in the factory may not have all features enabled. On Windows USB DFU drivers must be installed. See the Cleanflight manual for latest installation instructions. 1. Click the Firmware Flasher tab. - Page 13 Q: Unable to connect and a repeating light sequence occurs on the activity LED. A: Check the Cleanflight manual for how to interpret the error code (count the long flashes). Q: Unable to connect to the board (and status LED shows non-repeating pattern at boot-up).
- Page 14 Verifying operation - Ensure that the TRANSPONDER feature is enabled in Cleanflight. Ensure that the correct pads of the IR/LED SELECT solder pads are bridged with solder. Ensure that the TRANSPONDER code has been configured via the Race Transponder configuration section in the Cleanflight Configurator.
- Page 15 - they are very hard to remove, removal will likely destroy both the VTX module and the stacking VTX board itself. NOTE: SmartAudio and PID-Audio be used at the same time. SPRacingF7DUAL http://seriouslypro.com - http://cleanflight.com Page 15...
