IMAGE AlienWhoop F7 Flight Controller Welcome

AlienWhoop flight controller for Tiny Whoop, Blade Inductrix, Eachine, BetaFPV, and other micro brushed quadcopter frames. Best in class flight controller running BetaFlight.

  • Choice of the top performing ARM processors:
    • High-performance ST Microelectronics ARM Cortex-M4 core F4 168 MHz CPU
    • High-performance ST Microelectronics ARM Cortex-M7 core F7 216 MHz CPU
    • Highest-performer ST Microelectronics ARM Cortex-M4 core F4 OVERCLOCKED to 240 MHz!!
  • Choice of top performing motion processors:
    • Invensense MPU-6500 Six-Axis (Gyro + Accelerometer) low power consumption MEMS MotionTracking™ Device
    • Invensense MPU-9250 Nine-Axis (Gyro + Accelerometer + Compass) low power consumption MEMS MotionTracking™ Device
  • Capable of 32kHz gyro sampling and 32kHz PID loop with overclocked F4 (32kHz gyro sampling rate might not be optimal depending on features selected 16/16 or 16/8 might be preferable).
  • Extreme power. Choice of either (1) Fairchild Semiconductor FDMA410NZ MOSFET with 9.5A continuous and 24A burst brushed motor insanity (8.5mm coreless scream), (2) FDMA410NZT MOSFET with 9.5A continuous and 63A burst, or (3) Infineon Technologies IRFHS8342 MOSFET
  • UART4 solder pads for programmable LED strip (SUPER COOL) using WS2812B RGB or RX/TX for Micro MinimOSD
  • Supports most serial external receivers. Officially supporting FrSky XM, XM+, R-XSR (SBUS/Fport), LemonRX DSM2 and DSMX (SBUS), and FlySky FS-A8S (iBUS) satellites.
