# MicoAir405Mini Flight Controller The MicoAir405Mini is a flight controller designed and produced by [MicoAir Tech.](http://micoair.com/). ## Features - STM32F405 microcontroller - BMI270 IMU - DPS310 barometer - AT7456E OSD - 9V 2.5A BEC; 5V 2.5A BEC - SDCard - 6 UARTs - 9 PWM outputs ## Physical ![MicoAir F405 Mini V2.1 Front View](MicoAir405Mini_FrontView.jpg) ![MicoAir F405 Mini V2.1 Back View](MicoAir405Mini_BackView.jpg) ## UART Mapping - SERIAL0 -> USB - SERIAL1 -> UART1 (MAVLink2, DMA-enabled) - SERIAL2 -> UART2 (DisplayPort, TX only is DMA Enabled) - SERIAL3 -> UART3 (GPS) - SERIAL4 -> UART4 (MAVLink2, TX only is DMA Enabled) - SERIAL5 -> UART5 (ESC Telemetry) - SERIAL6 -> UART6 (RX6 is inverted from SBUS pin, RX only is DMA Enabled) ## RC Input The default RC input is configured as SBUS via the SBUS pin. Other RC protocols should be applied at a UART port such as UART1 or UART4, and set the protocol to receive RC data: `SERIALn_PROTOCOL=23` and change SERIAL6 _Protocol to something other than '23' ## OSD Support The MicoAir405Mini supports onboard OSD using OSD_TYPE 1 (MAX7456 driver). ## VTX Support The SH1.0-6P connector supports a DJI O3 Air Unit connection. Pin 1 of the connector is 9v so be careful not to connect this to a peripheral requiring 5v. ## PWM Output The MicoAir405Mini supports up to 9 PWM outputs. Channels 1-8 support DShot. Channels 1-4 support bi-directional DShot. PWM outputs are grouped and every group must use the same output protocol: 3, 4 are Group 1; 1, 2, 5, 6 are Group 2; 7, 8 are Group 3; 9 is in Group 4; ## Battery Monitoring The board has a internal voltage sensor and connections on the ESC connector for an external current sensor input. The voltage sensor can handle up to 6S LiPo batteries. The default battery parameters are: - BATT_MONITOR 4 - BATT_VOLT_PIN 10 - BATT_CURR_PIN 11 - BATT_VOLT_MULT 21.2 - BATT_CURR_SCALE 40.2 ## Compass The MicoAir405Mini does not have a built-in compass, but you can attach an external compass using I2C on the SDA and SCL connector. ## Mechanical - Mounting: 20 x 20mm, Φ3.5mm - Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 8 mm - Weight: 6g ## Ports Connector ![MicoAir F405 Mini V2.1 Ports Connection](MicoAir405Mini_PortsConnection.jpg) ## Loading Firmware Initial firmware load can be done with DFU by plugging in USB with the bootloader button pressed. Then you should load the "with_bl.hex" firmware, using your favorite DFU loading tool. Once the initial firmware is loaded you can update the firmware using any ArduPilot ground station software. Updates should be done with the "*.apj" firmware files.
