JHEMCU GSF405A AIO Flight Controller

The JHEMCU GSF405A is a 1-2S Whoop-style (25.5mm x 25.5mm) flight controller featuring the STM32F405OG6 MCU, 4in1 5A ESCs, BMP280 barometer, 8MB flash, and an on-board ExpressLRS 2.4GHz receiver. The board weighs 3.3g, making it suitable for small or lightweight ArduPilot builds.

Pinout

UART Mapping

The UARTs are marked Rn and Tn in the above pinouts. The Rn pin is the receive pin for UARTn. The Tn pin is the transmit pin for UARTn.

Name	Pin	Function
SERIAL0	COMPUTER	USB
SERIAL1	RX1/TX1	USART1 (DMA) - Used by the on-board ELRS receiver, but TX1/RX1 pads are also available
SERIAL2	TX2/RX2	USART2
SERIAL3	TX3/RX3	USART3 (DMA) - GPS, located near I2C pads
SERIAL4	TX4/RX4	UART4
SERIAL6	TX6/RX6	USART6 (DMA) - Telemetry

RC Input

RC input is configured on SERIAL1 (USART1) connected to the ELRS receiver, configured for CRSF with SERIAL1_PROTOCOL 23. Note A different target is available to should you want to run an external receiver on USART2 (RX2/TX2/SBUS). Note that PPM receivers are not supported as there is no timer resource available for this input.

OSD Support

The GSF405A supports OSD using OSD_TYPE 1 (MAX7456 driver).

Motor Output

The built-in ESC is mapped to motor outputs 1-4. Bidirectional DShot is supported (requires flashing the ESC to a BLHeli_S version that supports bdshot, such as Bluejay [esc-configurator.com]).

Battery Monitoring

The board has a built-in voltage and current sensors.

The correct battery setting parameters are:

• BATT_MONITOR 4
• BATT_VOLT_PIN 11
• BATT_VOLT_SCALE 11
• BATT_CURR_PIN 13
• BATT_CURR_SCALE 17

These are set by default in the firmware and shouldn't need to be adjusted

Compass

The GSF405A does not have a builtin compass, but you can attach an external compass to the I2C pins.

LED

The board includes a LED_STRIP output, which is assigned a timer and DMA. This is the fifth PWM output.

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 favourite 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.
