BetaFPV Matrix 1S 3IN1 HD Brushless Flight Controller

The Matrix 1S 3IN1 HD Brushless Flight Controller is purpose-built for 1S HD whoops, featuring the iconic "cross" design. Engineered exclusively for digital FPV, it eliminates analog OSD, integrating a flight controller, ESC, and ELRS 2.4G RX into one lightweight, streamlined unit for effortless setup and maintenance. Equipped with newly developed BEC and ESC, it’s finely tuned to meet the demands of 1S HD whoops, delivering superior digital image transmission and setting a new standard in 1S HD flight controllers.

Attention

Flight controllers are covered for manufacturer defects. Issues arising from user errors, physical crash damage, damage during installation or dismantling, modifications, power surges, electrical fires, or water exposure are not covered.

Bullet Points

Optimized for 1S Whoops: Designed to enhance performance with the DJI O4 digital transmission system.

Three-in-One Integration: Combines flight controller, ESC, and ELRS 2.4G RX into a compact unit, focusing exclusively on high-quality digital FPV by eliminating analog OSD.

Stable HD Video Transmission: Features a newly developed BEC to ensure consistent power delivery for seamless HD performance.

Enhanced Overcurrent Capacity: Supports 12A continuous current and 18A peak ESC, providing robust performance for demanding flights.

Reliable Precision: Includes an independent 3.3V LDO design to deliver stable, interference-free power directly to the IMU for accurate control.

Effortless Setup: Equipped with convenient motor plugs and a SH1.0-6Pin HD digital port for a solder-free, hassle-free installation and maintenance experience.

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.

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.
