To meet these challenges, an advanced BEC has been developed, capable of delivering over 3A of current at ultra-low voltages down to 2.85V. This ensures stable image transmission even in critical situations. While flying to such low voltages isn’t recommended, this innovation provides pilots with a greater chance of safely recovering from unexpected situations. Enhanced Continuous 12A ESC Whether powering digital HD systems or high-performance analog builds, 1S whoops demand ESCs that won’t flinch. Our engineers exceeded expectations, delivering a robust ESC with 12A continuous output and 18A peak capacity on the iconic “cross” flight controller. This ensures optimal thrust-to-weight ratio, reliable performance, and worry-free high-definition flights. Individual Power Supply for IMU Unlike traditional shared power supply designs, the Matrix 1S FC features an independent 3.3V LDO power supply exclusively for the IMU. This innovation eliminates interference, creating a cleaner and more stable environment that enhances flight precision, improves sensitivity, and reduces the risk of performance issues—ensuring unmatched stability during every flight. Whoop-ready Installation Equipped with convenient motor plugs and a SH1.0-6Pin HD digital port, the 3IN1 version allows for a completely solder-free installation and maintenance process. Spend less time building and more time flying HD whoops. The 4IN1 version retains soldering pads for external analog RX, giving you protocol freedom while reducing voltage ripple interference for cleaner video signals. Serial ELRS 2.4G RX Serial ELRS 2.4G RX uses the Crossfire serial protocol (CRSF protocol) to communicate between the receiver and the flight controller board. 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 4.5.1 and 4.5.2.

Bluejay ESC Firmware With BB51 ESC solution, Matrix 1S 3IN1 HD Brushless Flight Controller is based on A_X_5_96_v0.19.2.hex for BB51 Bluejay firmware, it supports DSHOT300, DSHOT600, 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.
