Product Overview
The AlienWhoop ZER0 is a micro-sized flight controller made for Tiny Whoop, Blade Inductrix, Eachine, BetaFPV, and other micro brushed quadcopter frames. Best in class flight controller running NotFastEnuf Silverware firmware.
Third batch ZER0 improvements include:
- New DSMX autobind on RX1 pad for Spektrum pilots
- Improved gyro landing pads for increased durability
Specifications
- Fully tuned out of the box for 6mm and 7mm rippage
- Slim and sleek design for maximum weight savings, power, and responsiveness
- Designed by 2 of the top 16 fastest pilots at the 2018 Tiny Whoop Invitational championship teamed up with NotFastEnuf and MontiFPV
- STM32F030F4P ARM® 32-bit Cortex®-M0 CPU, frequency up to 48 MHz (can be overclocked to 64MHz)
- Invensense MPU-6881 Six-Axis (Gyro + Accelerometer) precision temperature compensating MotionTracking™ Device
- Powerful MOSFETs
- 2oz copper with ENIG plated pads for best power
- Factory loaded with NotFastEnuf Silverware for maximum brushed motor performance
- 5V 2A BEC with 3.3V regulator
- Supports 1S or 2S LiPo (JST 2.0 PH aka PowerWhoop connector factory installed)
- Conveniently located motor plugs (direct solder optional pads on top)
- Pads adjacent LiPo pigtail for maximum VTX/camera current and clarity
- Voltage sense for advanced flight compensation (and telemetry on supported receivers)
- Built-in inverter supports SBUS receivers (Futaba,FrSky,TBS Crossfire)
- Extra pads for LED strip, beeper, etc. (requires firmware customization)
- Easy updating without disassembly using standard programming header
- Weight: 2.66 grams
Important
- Pilots must supply their own external SBUS or SPI receiver. Currently supporting:
- FrSky SBUS
- TBS Crossfire (using SBUS)
- Spektrum compatible DSMX e.g. Lemon RX (bind in DSMX 11ms)
- FlySky FS-A8S (in S.BUS mode)
- Bayang receivers made from Eachine/BWhoop toy transmitter modules
- 2S power requires customized firmware with compatible PIDs and settings
- Attempting to flash while receiver and transmitter powered can brick your FC
- Recovery via DFU pads possible but not guaranteed
Currently Unsupported
Silverware was originally designed to support toy transmitters running the Bayang RC protocol. Support for professional RC protocols is being added over time. The AlienWhoop ZER0 will support these once the code is ready :
- CRSF (TBS Crossfire can use SBUS instead for now)
- iBUS (FlySky can use FS-A8S in SBUS mode; press and hold bind for two seconds to change receiver from I-BUS to S.BUS)
- F.PORT (FrSky one wire protocol)
