SP Racing F7 Dual Flight Controller

Product Overview

The SP Racing F7 Dual Flight Controller is a premium FC with a built-in PDB and OSD, and the next-generation F7 processor. It features true dual gyro performance that uses both gyros simultaneously to combat vibrations for the most demanding airframes. Many other FC's have two gyros and claim to be dual gyro, but can only use one at a time in-flight.

Seriously Pro has also a stackable VTX module that attaches to the F7 FC in an ultralow profile of only 11.5mm high, one of the shortest full-size stacks out there.

PID-Audio lets you hear your quad from the flight controller and the onboard MEMS microphone, giving you even more clarity to hear your tune from the ground and make sure everything is running smoothly in the air.

The hardware was designed by the lead developer of Cleanflight to be the most feature-packed, easy-to-install, expandable and integrated low-profile FPV stack the world has ever seen.

Features

Astonishing Flight Performance

The SPRacing F7 DUAL with TWO GYROS working SIMULTANEOUSLY, combined with the latest super-fast F7 processor, will make you an FPV god! The SPRacing F7 DUAL is the ONLY board to offer this, beware of other "DUAL GYRO" boards that only let you choose one gyro to use in-flight.

PID-Audio

The SPRacing F7 DUAL has CPU generated audio output and a microphone with an onboard audio mixer.
You can HEAR the PID controller working AND you can hear your motors via the MIC.
Tune your aircraft by LISTENING and be one with your multi-rotor's performance.

Next-Generation ultra-fast CPU

The SPRacingF7DUAL has an ARM Cortex-M7 216Mhz CPU with Math co-processor (FPU) with 512KB Flash.
The F7 CPU has a newer CPU architecture than F1, F3 and F4 CPUs.
Advanced IO support means zero jumpers and flexible serial ports.

Low Profile

Measuring just 11.5mm high the F7DUAL FPV stack is the smallest full-featured stack ever. Fit it into even the tightest of air-frames or just make your life easier with all the room you'll have spare in a normal frame.

OSD with customizable layout

Display VTX channel/band, battery voltage, current draw, capacity used, flight time, callsign, RSSI, motors and other OSD elements. Configure the elements on your OSD to your taste.

Multi-VTX support

The F7 DUAL VTX board allows you to direct-solder either a TBS Unify or an RTC6705 module. The video transmitter can be even be turned off from your RC Transmitter!

Current Sensor

Monitor your current draw and capacity used so you know when to land.
Helps extend the life of your batteries.

DSHOT and OneShot ESC support

Full support for 4 DSHOT or OneShot ESCs for easy PID tuning and a sharper response. DSHOT is pure-digital and electrical noise resistant

SPI sensor connection

The new low-noise ICM20602 gyroscope and accelerometer sensor is connected via a fast SPI bus. This enables the software to get more data even quicker to help stabilize your aircraft even better

Team-Race-Ready

The SPRacing F7EVO is team-race-ready. If your teammate crashes-out on the track they can turn off their VTX remotely so you can fly on the same VTX channel.

USB

Use the USB socket to configure the flight controller, OSD and also for pass-through configuration and flashing of BlHeli ESCs. The USB socket is not shared with any of the 5 serial ports.

MicroSD

The SPRacing F7 DUAL features a MicroSD card socket for logging. Supports MicroSD/SDHC up to 32GB - just leave one in and log every flight!

Programmable LEDs

Output for multi-colored LED strips - great for FPV racing, line-of-sight flying orientation and night flying. The SP Racing F7 DUAL allows you to use the transponder feature and the programmable LEDs at the same time!

Broad RC receiver support

Supports SBus, SumH, SumD, Spektrum1024/2048, XBus/IBus, PPM. No external inverters required (built-in), receiver powered via flight battery or USB for easy configuration. Dedicated ports for PPM/SBus/SumH/etc for easy connections.

Boot Button

The F7 DUAL features a side-mount boot button to allow easy setting of boot mode for firmware flashing of the device.

Settings / VTX Button

The F7 DUAL features a side-mount button to allow easy changing VTX settings - channel, band, RF-power, VTX ON/OFF and more!

Configurable

The SPRacing F7 DUAL runs Cleanflight* which can be configured to suit your needs using a cross-platform GUI (Windows/OSX/Linux). * and forks like Betaflight, etc.

Expansion Port

The always powered expansion port features I2C, and 2 serial ports. It's perfect for GPS receivers, external sensors, ESC feedback or an always-on OLED Screen.

Developer Friendly

Developer friendly debugging port (SWD) and boot mode selection, unbrickable bootloader.

Battery Monitoring

Built-in battery voltage monitoring, built-in current monitoring.

Buzzer

Buzzer port for audible warnings and notifications.

Telemetry support

Supports bi-directional and standard transmit-only telemetry systems including SmartPort/S.Port, HoTT, FrSky, Mavlink, IBus and LTM telemetry.

Telemetry enables audible and visible ground-station or receiver based alarms, warnings, information gathering and logging of FC data.

Built-in Power Distribution

The F7 DUAL allows direct connection of ESC power cables - no external PDB is required. The power is transferred through a high-quality gold-plated 6-layer PCB with super-wide high-current PCB traces.

GPS Ready *

Connect a GPS, Mag, and Barometer via the expansion port for GPS Navigation
* Available in Cleanflight soon, New GPS features under active development in iNav.

Race Timing Transponder *

The SPRacing F7 DUAL features a race transponder system for recording your lap times. Each board comes with a special transponder code to identify you at race events. Compatible with i-LAP,aRCiTimer, and Easy Race Lap Timer receiver systems.

* IR LED and i-LAP code available separately

5V BEC Power supply

2-5S capable with enough current for powering your FC, Receiver, LED Strip, VTX, and other accessories.

Camera OSD control

The SPRacing F7 DUAL allows control of your FPV camera's OSD via transmitter sticks on supported cameras
