Main features

RAPTOR
ESC
● EFM8BB21F16G
F4 MCU, pipelined 8-bit C8051 core with 50 MHz maximum operating frequency.
● Dedicated high frequency driver, makes the start more smooth.
S-TOWER
● ESC firmware: BLHeli-S，A-H-30.
● Two layers tower structure between 4in1 ESC and FC using quick pin connection.
makes the flight more stable.
● Built-in current meter,
● BLHeli-S firmware. It is designed for superior performance in multirotors, and uses hardware generated motor
pwm for smooth throttle response and silent operation.
● The code supports regular 1-2ms pulse width input, as well as Oneshot125 , Oneshot42 and Multishot .
● Supports Dshot150, Dshot300 and Dshot600.Dshot is digital signal, anti-interference ability is stronger, and do
not need throttle calibration.
Flight Controller
● MCU:STM32F405.
● Gyro MPU-6000 SPI. ：
● FC firmware:Betaflight_OMNIBUSF4SD
● Supports PPM,SBUS,SPEKTRUM1024/2048 etc. remote control / receiving
● Supports max.32G TF-card, which can record and save more flight/black box data.
● FC integrated OSD, users can adjust OSD parameters via Betaflight configurator.
● FC integrated 3.3V,5V, 12V/ for receiver, VTX, camera, buzzer, LED and other peripheral devices.
● Provided several silicone cables for FC ,and will give you an unprecedented experience for assembly;

1.For quick plug, Flight Controller additionally provide：
●One 5p cable (5-pin SH1.0 terminal) for SBUS or PPM receivers;
●One 3p cable (3-pin ZH1.5 terminal)for SPEKTEUM receiver;
●Three 3p cable (3-pin SH1.0 terminal)for different brand VTXs;
●Two 3p cables (3-pin SH1.0 terminal )for different brand Cameras;
●One 2p cables(2-pin SH1.0 terminal) for Buzzer;
●One 5p cables(5-pin SH1.0 terminal) for LED,S5 and S6;
●One 6p cables(6-pin SH1.0 terminal) for UART3 & UART6.
2.To enhance performance of filtering, users can solder the electrolytic
capacitor which are included in the accessory pack to the positive and
negative terminals.
● For these quick plug cables, please confirm the wire sequences on your devices' connector are corresponding with the Flight
controller's before connecting. If the terminals are not fit your devices ,please make a modified connection to fit.
●The height from ESC to FC is fixed , please don't change the height of the nylon spacer between the ESC&FC. it will cause
the PCBs to deform if the height too short. It will cause bad connection between the ESC&FC if the height too high.
● Never use metal screws,please ensure all solder joints & wires are insulated well, as short circuit will damage the product.
ATTENTION
● Please ensure enough safety space between the ESC& Drone frames, as short circuit will damage the product.
● Never use this product in harsh environments such as humidity, high temperature, and so on to avoid product damage

Flash firmware for FC
Typical Applications
(For reference)
You need to use DFU mode to recover firmware for F4 Flight controller, and need a software tool called Zadig to replace the driver for you F.C
when you flash firmware at the first time.
170-450 Multi
1.Start the Zadig software tool;
2.Press and hold the "BOOT" on the FC, connect the FC to the PC.

（Notice：If you've run the above steps before, then you don't need to repeat, starting directly from the 6th step）
6. Start the "Betaflight " configurator on the PC;
7. Press and hold the "BOOT" on the FC, connect the FC to the PC, then the FC is connected in the "DFU" mode, then you can flash the firmware;
8.For the firmware flashing, you can choose to load the firmware online or local（Local is recommended, it
needs to download in advance in Betaflight website)

● Please don't flash any other firmware for FC except "OMNIBUSF4SD".
●
PPM receiver does not need to set the port.
●
SBUS receiver needs to turn on the "Serial RX" of UART1 port.
●
SPEKTRUM receiver needs to turn on the "Serial RX" of UART3 port.
● When using LED
_Strip, please key in the following codes on the CLI：
key in："resource led_strip a8 " ,then press the"Enter" on the keyboard.
key in："save" ,then press the"Enter" on the keyboard.
●If there
is any deviation between the detected voltage/current with actual
situation, you can adjust the Scale value in the Betaflight-Power&Battery
● 5V ,12Vsupply is for low-current use only(5V 1A MAX, 12V 500mA MAX).

● User needs to calibrate the throttle range when starting to use a new ESC or
another transmitter. When the input signal is Dshot, throttle calibration is
disabled.
● BLHeli-S firmware, please don't flash any other firmware except "A-H-30".
● When some abnormality occurs in ESC driving the motor or need the motor to
reach a higher RPM, user can try to change the timing.
● Observe polarity at all times. Check and double check before applying power.
● Power off before unplugging ,plugging in or making any connections.
● Keep magnets away from the Flight Controller.
● Do everything you can to prevent vibrations.
●Please contact Flycolor sales or technical support for more information.
