F405 convertible flight controller with DJI plug and Matek reliability.
New features of the F405-miniTE compared to the F722-miniSE (discontinued):
- F405 has 1MB flash which can run with ArduPilot. Even with INAV firmware, some features are removed on the F722 due to limited flash.
- Redesigned target MATEKF405TE support 8x bi-directional DSHOT.
- Connector avaialble for the DJI FPV system with a 10V BEC for DJI OSD or analog VTX
- Compared with F722-miniSE 8motors or 6motor+2servos, F405-miniTE support 8motors+3servos in INAV/BF multirotor mixer
