Description

The Zerodrag Nova F4 Flight Controller is engineered for demanding UAV pilots requiring a robust and flexible flight management platform. Its core is the STM32F405 microcontroller, paired with the advanced ICM42688P gyroscope and Infineon Technologies DPS310 barometer, delivering exceptional stability and accurate altitude data for both acrobatic and autonomous flight profiles.

Designed for seamless integration, the board features a comprehensive I/O suite including six UARTs, dedicated I2C pads, and support for up to eight ESCs via its motor pads. The dual switching BECs provide clean, high-current power for FPV systems and other accessories, while the on-board AT7456E OSD chip allows for real-time telemetry overlay without external modules.

Key Features

  • Advanced Sensor Suite: ICM42688P gyro and DPS310 barometer provide high-fidelity attitude and altitude data for stable flight.
  • Multi-Firmware Compatibility: Fully compatible with Betaflight for racing/freestyle, iNav for autonomous waypoint missions, and ArduPilot for complex robotic applications.
  • Robust Power Management: Dual BEC system delivers 5V at 3A and 10V at 5A, ensuring stable power for VTXs, cameras, and other peripherals.
  • Comprehensive Data Logging: Integrated MicroSD card slot supports BlackBox logging for detailed post-flight analysis and tuning.
  • Modern Connectivity: USB Type-C port for reliable firmware updates and configuration, alongside six UARTs for extensive peripheral expansion.
  • Durable Construction: Compact 30.5x30.5mm form factor with 4mm mounting holes, designed for vibration-resistant installation in tight builds.

Applications

  • High-performance 5-inch FPV racing and freestyle drones requiring precise gyro data and BlackBox logging.
  • Autonomous mapping and surveillance UAVs running iNav or ArduPilot firmware with barometric altitude hold.
  • Long-range FPV builds needing multiple UARTs for GPS, telemetry, and crossfire receivers.
  • Heavy-lift or cinematography drones utilizing the high-current 10V BEC to power gimbals or HD video systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum LiPo voltage input for the Zerodrag Nova F4?

The Nova F4 flight controller accepts a direct input voltage range from 2S (7.4V) up to 6S (25.2V) LiPo batteries. Its internal dual BECs are designed to operate reliably across this entire range, providing stable 5V and 10V outputs for your peripherals.

Which firmware is pre-installed on the board, and how do I flash it?

The board typically ships with a recent version of Betaflight firmware. You can flash Betaflight, iNav, or ArduPilot firmware via the USB Type-C port using their respective configurator tools (Betaflight Configurator, iNav Configurator, Mission Planner). Ensure you select the correct target (e.g., 'ZERODRAGNOVAF4') when flashing.

Can I use the 10V BEC output to power a DJI Air Unit or Walksnail VTX?

Yes, the dedicated 10V 5A BEC output is perfectly suited for powering digital HD FPV systems like the DJI Air Unit, CaddxFPV Vista, or Walksnail VTX, which typically require 9V. This isolates the high-current draw of the VTX from the sensitive 5V rail used by the flight controller and receiver.

How many UARTs are available, and what are they typically used for?

The Nova F4 provides six UARTs. Common assignments include: UART1 for USB/CLI, UART2 for an RX receiver (ELRS, Crossfire), UART3 for a GPS module, UART4 for SmartAudio/Tramp VTX control, UART5 for telemetry (e.g., FrSky), and UART6 for additional peripherals like a rangefinder or secondary radio.
