What It Does

Your own algorithm
Guidance, landing or your own logic, built from FORGE blocks without code. It runs on the board itself.
Phone setup
The board makes its own Wi-Fi. Your phone takes you through setup and a first tune.
Eight flight modes
ACRO, STABILISE, ALTHOLD, LOITER, GUIDED, RTL, LAND and FORGE, on Quad X frames.
Simulation mode, then Real Flight mode
In simulation mode the board flies a math model of your drone in FORGE Studio. Switch it off and on: it starts in Real Flight mode.
Every flight saved
Replay any flight in FORGE Studio, with plots, a PDF report, 3D video and CSV.
Companion computer
Plug one into USB-C, and it can tell your algorithm what a camera sees.

Wiring

You bring: a 6S battery (its XT60 or XT90 lead soldered to J1), ESCs, a radio receiver, and a GPS with compass to hold position. What else you need

Specifications

More in the datasheet and the user manual.

Board

Size
50 x 50 mm
Weight
About 15 g (board alone)
Mounting
30.5 x 30.5 mm, four 4 mm holes for M3 screws, dampers in the box
Supply voltage
6S LiPo (22.2 V, 25.2 V full), straight from the battery, its lead soldered to J1 (+ and − plated holes). The payload output needs 6S. No reverse-polarity protection: check the plug.
Country of origin
India

On the board

Processor
ESP32-S3, dual core, 240 MHz, 8 MB flash
Motion sensor (IMU)
ICM-42688-P
Barometer
DPS368
Wi-Fi
Built in, with a U.FL socket for an external antenna
Compass
On your GPS module, found by itself (supported parts in the datasheet)

Connections

Motor outputs
4, bidirectional DShot, for four ESCs or one 4-in-1 (for the battery reading: ESCs with DShot extended telemetry; harness in the datasheet)
Battery voltage
Read from the ESCs or wired to J4 (details in the datasheet). With neither, the low-battery failsafe is off
RC receiver
CRSF or ELRS, SBUS, or iBUS, found at start-up
GPS and compass
One connector for an external module
Telemetry
Serial port for a telemetry radio
USB-C
Firmware updates and a companion computer
Payload connector
J4: the eSwitch output (battery voltage, 3 A, switched by a FORGE block) and four analog inputs for FORGE blocks (0-3.1 V, 0-3.1 V, 0-9.9 V and 0-34 V)

In the Box

    Set up your flight controller: from the box to the first flight

    FORGE Studio Included

    2 months with each board, from the first time you connect it to FORGE Studio.

    They start after any time you have left. When they end, your drone keeps flying and running the programs on it.

    Answers

    Can I run my own algorithm?
    Yes, that's what FORGE blocks are for. You build it without code, test it in FORGE Studio, and it runs on the flight controller itself.
    Can I fly without GPS?
    Yes, in ACRO, STABILISE and ALTHOLD. LOITER, GUIDED and RTL need GPS and a compass. Without a GPS fix, the flight controller stays in its mode and tells you why.
    How does the board get onto my account?
    We put it there when we pack your order and e-mail you its serial: it is on the account you ordered with. Its 2 months of FORGE Studio start the first time you connect it to FORGE Studio while signed in. A board from someone else (a teammate) comes to your account with the serial and activation code on its card: Account, Flight controllers.
    How can I pay?
    Online only: UPI, debit and credit cards, net banking and wallets, through our payment partner. We never see your card details.
