FETTEC FT-4ESC1-65A 4in1 ESC 65A G4 Flight Controller
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the FETtec 4in1 ESC 65A.
Features
- Active current limiting @ 65A
- Input voltage: 3S 8S
- High qu ality 40V MOSFETs
- STM32G071 @ 64MHz
- 128 kHz Motor PWM
- Automatic input signal detection
- Dshot 300 2400
- PWM
- OneShot 42/125
- Onewire
- S2M
- KISS FC Passthrough
- Betaflight Passthrough
Safety warning
- Remove propeller before flashing and configuration!
- The ESC can heat up to 100°C and more
- Please ensure that there is enough space and airflow to prevent any damage because of overheating
- Please check periodically for firmware updates in the FETtec Configurator
- Do not file the mounting holes as this may cause damage.

Connection to FC
4-6S
For usage an additional capacitor with the following specification is required.
- Minimum 470uF
- 50V
- ESR < 1ohm
We recommend to use the provided capacitor which comes with the ESC.
Note: A bigger cap with only 35V might not suffice.
8S ****
- Its necessary to use the cap
- The used FC must be able to run on 8s.
- The FETtec FCs need an extra BEC
FETtec FC
- Use the 8pin cable which comes with the FETtec 4in1 ESC 65A to connect it to the FETtec FC
- (It is possible to use 2 ESCs for a build with more than 4 motors. If you only use 4 motors, please use the connector 1)
Betaflight FC
Connection
- Signal 1- 4 have to be connected to the corresponding FC Motor outputs.
- The TLM wire has to be connected to an available serial TX pin.
Configuration
In order to utilize ESC provided current and voltage sensor the following settings need to be applied to Betaflight. (Feature, motor protocol and meter can be configured through the GUI itself). In addition, the correct serial port need to be selected and assigned to ESC sensor.
- feature ESC_SENSOR
- set motor_pwm_proto col = DSHOT600
- set current_meter = ESC
- set battery_meter = ESC
- set esc_sensor_halfduplex = ON
FETtec Configurator
Please update your ESC periodically with the current Firmware version.
- The ESC configuration tool is available at https://gui.fettec.net/ESC/index.html
- The ESC firmware is available in remote or for download at https://github.com/FETtec/ESC-Firmware
FC passthrough is available for the following platforms
- KISS FC Firmware 1.3 RC36j (or higher)
- Betaflight 4.1 firmware (Minimum requirement for Onewire is STM32F4)
