Lumenier LUX MINI F7 Flight Controller

The Lumenier LUX MINI F7 Ultimate Flight Controller is the next generation of the popular Lumenier LUX flight controller lineup. It uses a powerful F7 processor along with top of the line hardware. Unleash the capabilities of your FPV Racing Quadcopter with the Lumenier LUX MINI F7 Flight Controller. This MINI LUX F7 comes in a small 20×20 form factor weighin only 5g! Don’t let the size of this flight controller fool you though, it is fully feature packed and works great on both micro and full sized drones.

The MINI LUX F7 builds on all the best features of its predecessors and further improves on hardware components and layout. You get a whopping 6x dedicated UART ports with built-in inversion for peripherals, along with built in 128Mbit 16MB flash memory for Blackbox recording. It includes an integrated BetaFlight OSD, making it super simple to show important information on your FPV display like battery voltage, flight time, warnings, RSSI, smart audio features and more.

Have you ever been in an FPV race where you need to plug in your quad, but you don’t want to broadcast an FPV signal to knock your friends out of the air? Or how about you crash, and need to save your VTX from burning up while baking in the hot sun. With the LUX F7 you can remotely turn your VTX on or off via a switch on your radio! The LUX MINI F7 features an on-board LC VBAT filtered power pad designed to power your VTX. In addition it has an onboard 5v 3A regulator to power camera, Rx, and LEDs all at the same time. Using the PINIO resource, you can assign this pad to a switch on your radio, remotely controlling the power source to your video transmitter.

The Lumenier LUX MINI F7 supports all the popular accessories like beeer, camera control, smart audio / tramp VTX control, PWM outputs, and I2C connection.
