@@Mangorilleit just died - no hard crashes or anything. I’m not sure what’s wrong - I still get power to Vtx and crossfire, but FC will no longer boot up properly. Could be ESC or something else on the board.
That most likely just has to do with your wiring and configuration, not specific to this flight controller. Which receiver are you using and how did you wire it up?
Olha só amigo montei uma drone com uma controladora da axisflying F7 40 aio o drone fica vibrando muito Q nem dá pra voar eu não estou com sorte com essas controladora f7😢😢
Great overview of this AIO however how would you gauge or measure the reliability of this? I've never had any success of AIOs lasting more than 10 flights for unfortunately 😓
I heard that complaint with most AIOs, I haven't had a problem with the SpeedyBee yet. I'm over 10 flights on it now and I don't just cruise around either.
I have put the controller in a cinelog 20 and there is no way to configure the position of the controller correctly. At betaflight please help. thank you
You’ve got it facing in a different direction then the arrow on the board indicates? So when you tilt the quad forward Betaflight shows it going left and right? If so, you need to change the yaw alignment configuration on the config tab. I usually do this on all the quads as I run the stack flipped around (front is back).
I probably screwed up on my first FPV build now and purchased this for an ApexDC 5" O3 airunit build... Is there any adapters or I have to purchase another stack...?
This wouldn’t be my first choice for a 5 inch unless you’re not a hard flier. No connector for the VTX on this stack, you’ll need to solder up the wires. If you’re not a good solderer, give someone a few bucks to solder it up for you.
@@Mangorille Thanks, I purchased another stack for the Apex frame, Diatone Mamba H743 V2 MK4 F55_128K Stack. Expensive mistake but maybe can use the SpeedyBee F745 for some future build.
I can’t seem to get OSD off this to O3 Unit. The unit is plugged into to the 6 pin DJI plug and the UART 6 is selected on the ports to the correct peripherals. Still nothing atm
@@dvpuk You turned on MSP on UART6 correct? Did you check the pinouts to make sure they match what the O3 is expecting? The wiring diagram shows the connection for a Vista and not an O3. I didn't use the DJI plug. store-fhxxhuiq8q.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/img_SpeedyBee_F745_35A_AIO/35A_9-4.jpg
@@dvpuk I did not verify for the o3 but I know this was a problem when the o3 first released and some DJI plug'n'play connectors not having the right pin outs for the o3. If you are sure the configuration is correct, it would be an issue with the wiring or I've seen once where the o3 would not display the battery voltage of the quad and it got fixed by a couple of power cycles / firmware refresh. The OSD requires more configuration but at a minimum the battery voltage should display if everything is wired correctly.
I wonder why so little people talk about JHEMCU. My builds have lots of their AIO's and stacks. Havent had any issues so far. The iflight beast F7 aio just died on me. So the brand name and price doesnt mean much to me anymore. I'm starting to prefer 20x20 stacks over the aio. Much easier to solder up and you can replace fc or esc if they break.
I hadn't heard of them before but I looked them up and see that even GetFPV carries them but no f7 option, which is probably not a big deal given the use case. I've always done a 20x20mm as well but am trying to go as light as possible with my 3" builds now. I've managed to save ~26 grams so far through a naked O3, hv battery, and AIO.
@@Mangorille Jhemcu has f405 FCs. Nice to see getfpv carries some of their stuff. If you like to buy low price directly from ali in China, Jhemcu is a great option. An aio or stack costs 50 bucks.
+1 for the JHEMCU stuff. I have a bunch of their AIO FCs in micros that I've been bashing for quite a while and they hold up. Agree on the 20x20 versions too. Much easier to mount in traditional frames but the whoop style are great for toothpicks or tiny trainers, etc. Best value out there for this size AIO IMO.
@@bjjfpv4616 All manufactorers are using ICM gyro. Didnt you hear the mpu6000 Was no available for quite a while during the pandemic? First manufacturers are going back to the mpu6000 now that it's coming back in stock. It depends what ICM gyro was used. The 42688P is the good one that even repalced the BMI270. Although I do know that JHEMCU had an issue with the electronic board filters layout for that ICM gyro. They fixed it with the latest FC's. You could give JHEMCU a chance again. Or buy more expensive. My worst experience is with HGLRC and happymodel AIO's and FC's. Betafpv also had some problems they fixed. So unfortunatly all aren't perfect and it's a luck thing.
You can but whether you should will depend on the size of quad and your flying style. A bit unusual to want to run an xt60 with a thinner wire like that. I use 14 or 12 on a xt30.
It's not clear to me. The specs say Betaflight but the manual shows INAV as a firmware type in the screenshots. I'd suggest logging a ticket with Speedybee to confirm before purchase. They're fairly responsive.
@@Mangorille awesomeness I am tho having issues setting it up I have flight gps elrs telemetry but when it comes to VTX display port on peripherals there’s nada :( dji does have power
Easier yes, but I like the power lead to come out the front so that I can zip tie it to a standoff for strain relief in a crash (makes it more difficult for them to pull off the board in a crash).
For the price of this badass aio you could get 2x 20x20f405 speedybees. Just a thought. I understand why i would buy this one, its just hard yo believe the stack being so much cheaper. I knwo not as good but still works well enough.
It's designed to be mounted at an angle if you want to use the 25x25 mounting pattern. The Lumenier frame I installed it on has 25x25 whereas the Quadmula does not. You could 3d print a converter for 20x20 to 25x25 but it's going to stick out the edge of the frame quite a bit and the motor wire locations are going to be all wrong.
Personal preference, I prefer to solder the connections. Also, I try a bunch of different flight controllers so don’t have enough of these cables lying around to accommodate different connector configurations. You’ll need a full length connector for this AIO since I have the DJI connector up front (I run my flight controller 180 degrees backwards so that the battery lead comes out the front).
You do pay a premium for the smaller size. I did do a check and most f7 stacks are now in the 100-130$ range. You can get a f4 for a lot cheaper though.
@@citytouchstudios1144 Good luck with the build. Make sure you refer to my advice about which UART to use otherwise you won't be able to do firmware updates and it'll hang.
I didn't find this board to be very reliable. My 5v BEC died after ~30m of flight time, rendering the board useless. I knew I was taking a risk using a newly released product, unfortunately this one bit me in the ass.
Tmotor has a great F7 AIO thats reliable (35a and 45a), foxeer has a great F7 AIO (35a and 45a)thats great and reliable. So this video title is clickbait and misleading. Speedy bee is alright but they aint nothing comoared to tmotor and foxeer. And they are cheaper than the speedy bee
I looked at the Foxeer, looks really good but out of stock everywhere. The SpeedyBee mobile app is also helpful for quick tinkering out on the field but at the cost of a UART.

Definitely an expensive stack but most f7 stacks are around this price if not more now-a-days. The F4 and that new MCU that just released are cheaper.
But not many STACKS fit every frame some frames have room for a AIO
@@citytouchstudios1144 Yup, you pay a premium for something this compact.
Why not just mount it normally vs on an angle? Would just need to adjust the gyro is all and should fit in the quadmula just fine.
