Comparison Between Matrix 1S, F4 1S 5A AIO & Air 5IN1 The Matrix 1S Brushless FC is designed with beginners in mind, offering enhanced durability and performance compared to the original F4 1S 5A AIO FC. With a 1mm-thick board, it’s more rugged than the 0.8mm-thick F4 1S 5A AIO board, and its built-in motor connectors simplify installation, eliminating the need for welding. With the advanced G473 processor and 5IN1 configuration, including a 5.8GHz 400mW VTX, the Matrix 1S is a better choice for beginners. For advanced pilots seeking a extremely lightweight, race-focused experience, the Air Brushless FC 5IN1 version is the best choice.

So the Serial ELRS 2.4G RX is available to support upgrading to ELRS V3.0 with no need to flash Betaflight flight controller firmware. Enter binding status by power on/off three times. Plugin and unplug the flight controller three times; Make sure the RX LED is doing a quick double blink, which indicates the receiver is in bind mode; Make sure the RF TX module or radio transmitter enters binding status, which sends out a binding pulse; If the receiver has a solid light, it’s bound. The Serial ELRS 2.4G RX can be updated via Wi-Fi or Betaflight serial passthrough. Here is the way to update the Serial ELRS 2.4G RX firmware through passthrough. Plug in your FC to your computer, connect to ExpressLRS Configurator instead of Betaflight Configurator; Choose target “BETAFPV 2.4GHz AIO RX”; Flash using the BetaflightPassthrough option in ExpressLRS Configurator. How to flash firmware via Wi-Fi here. Betaflight Firmware and CLI Betaflight official developers recommend using version 42688 of the gyroscope, and many issues with ICM42688 have been fixed in version 4.5.0. Please learn more from version 4.5.0. FC firmware: Betaflight_4.5.0_BETAFPVG473, Download the firmware and CLI dump file Reference link: https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/releases/tag/4.5.0 Bluejay ESC Firmware With BB51 ESC solution, Matrix 1S Brushless Flight Controller is based on A_X_5_96KHz_V0.19.hex for BB51 Bluejay hardware, it supports D-shot300, D-shot600, and even RPM filtering in Betaflight, offers 24KHz, 48KHz, and 96KHz fixed PWM frequency for options, and custom start-up melodies. DO NOT flash the firmware with a shorter interval, otherwise, there will be a certain chance of stalling and burning the flight controller.

Please choose A_X_5_96KHz_V0.19.hex How to Use Serial Ports, Intergrated RX and VTX Please note that by default, UART2 is connected to the VTX and UART3 is connected to the RX. To release UART3, please remove the resistor. Additionally, this FC reserves 2 complete full-featured serial ports that can be used for external CRSF/SBUS receivers, GPS, HD VTX, or other serial devices. You can refer to the below pictures.
