Matek Flight Controller F405-TE - High-Performance Controller for Drones
The F405-TE Flight Controller from Matek is a powerful and reliable flight controller, perfect for high-performance drone builds. Featuring the STM32F405RGT6 MCU running at 168MHz, it offers smooth and responsive flight control. Equipped with ICM42688-P IMU (SPI), the SPL06-001 barometer (I2C), and AT7456E OSD (SPI), it provides highly accurate flight performance, ideal for INAV, Betaflight, and ArduPilot applications.

The F405-TE has ample connectivity options, including 6x UARTs, 4x ADCs (for telemetry such as VBAT, current, RSSI, and airspeed), and 11x PWM outputs—8 of which are Dshot compatible. It also has a MicroSD slot for Blackbox logging, which is essential for tuning and post-flight analysis. The flight controller is designed for use with 4in1 ESCs and offers robust power handling with support for 3S-8S LiPo batteries and a built-in BEC providing 5V 1.5A and 12V 2A outputs.
