Got it working on uart2 FC seems pretty solid
Hi Joshua hope all is well. Question if you are using uart4 for esc telemetry what uart do you use for gps since you can’t use 3 if using sda and scl? Trying to hookup mateksys m8q Thank you

I never got my store credit. I originally TRIED to fill out the google doc, 5 days after I got it. Though I could not finish it, because of the unknown “required” picture of the install. We should have been made aware of this stipulation ahead of time. If it had been in any other frame than my Banggod, it would have not been a problem, but including the GP mount, is 15 SCREWS!! I had to not only fill the form out twice, but take the thing apart again, “JUST TO GET THE PICTURE”. I did all of this within 2weeks of receiving it, but I DID NOT get the store credit. What’s up with that!?!?
Dji version available?
+1 for USB-C next time. The port is much more durable. I managed to dent a microUSB port shut in a crash recently.
Any way to buy this with shipping to Russia?
I bought one, Looking forward to messing around with it. Bumbed it has no barometer though. Wanted to use it in a long range quad, and would rather not use gps for altitude as it fluctuates a lot more. I think Ill make a hex maybe
wouldnt you just stick the signal wires from one esc to motor inputs 1-4 and the second esc plug goes to 5-8?
Hm.. no shipping to the Czech Republic :/
No Baro? No USB-C? Why?
Congrats JB Order is in!

Nice! curious why you didn’t add USB-C?
Good timing JB. Been wondering when you'd be releasing a F7 FC. Ordered tonight, and paid extra for the extra quick shipping to the UK. Hopefully I'll be flying it this weekend! :)
Great to see this FC supports 8 motors! One problem I'm having with my octo build is that the current FC (edit: T-motor F7) handles 8 motors but doesn't understand how to talk to two different 4-in-1 ESCs. Will this FC handle this more gracefully? Can you put a blurb in the manual if there is a special procedure to make this work?
It's very interesting. I'm going to buy one and do a review in Spanish. Why did you use an IMC20602? I understand that the mpu6000 is better

In the video on RDQ's site it says it was made by iflight.
James Vetree
Did you watch the video? lol he clearly stated it will not work with inav because no barometer was included, just a small oversight he said but it may be included in a v2, possibly.
Drat - no barometer!
Have been waiting on this for a DJI build. I got two to test . One for a DJI build and one for a racing drone. Can't wait to see how it performs.

Was getting ready to build an iNAV Quad, any chance this board will work with iNAV?
Just ordered a speedybee f7. Been kind of looking for another F7
Just bought, thanks.
Tom Wright
Are these manufactured by iFlight? Just curious - certainly not a deal breaker. Assumed it was since it's plug and play with their ESC.
Nice!
