LED Indicator Definition

• RED LED – Power Indicator.Solid Red after powering up.
• GREEN LED – Bluetooth status light. Solid Green indicates Bluetooth is connected.
• BLUE LED – Flight controller status light which is controlled by the flight controller firmware.
• Orange LED – LED Control Mode Indicator. It indicates the 4 sets of LEDs connected to LED1-LED4 connectors on the bottom side are controlled by  Betaflight firmware(BF_LED mode) or the Bluetooth Chip(SB_LED mode).
• Solid Orange： indicates the 4 x LEDs are in SB_LED mode. In this mode, when the FC is powered on and in standby mode, press the BOOT button to cycle the display modes of the LEDs. You could also change modes in the app wirelessly.
• OFF： indicates the 4 x LEDs are controlled by Betaflight firmware.

Long press the button for 3 seconds to switch the control modes between BF_LED mode and SB_LED mode.

FC’s Peripheral Connection

Wiring Diagram
Method 1 – Direct Soldering

Method 2 – All connectors
To recognize the wires in the package better, we marked some of these wires with letters(from A to F). Please find the right wires accroding to their letters.

Note : When using both a receiver and an Air Unit (including a direct connection using a ribbon cable) on the F7 V3 flight controller, there is an issue. This arises because the built-in SBUS receiver on the Air Unit and the external receiver are both connected to the Rx2 pad on the flight controller.

• As a result, the external receiver cannot be recognized properly by the flight controller. To resolve this, it is necessary to disconnect the SBUS wire from the Air Unit or connect the external receiver to the Rx3 pad on the UART3 port. Currently.
• It is known that SBUS receivers and part of the ELRS receivers conflict with the built-in receiver on the Air Unit in the F7 V3 flight controller.Even ELRS reciver has this issue, but TBS reciver will not affected by this issue.

Cable Connection vs DJI O3 Air Unit
Use 6-pin cable comes with the O3 Air Unit

Cable Connection vs RunCam Link/Caddx Vista Air Unit
Use 6-pin cable comes with the F7 V3 stack (See the accessory No.3 in the package section)

Cable Connection vs DJI Air Unit V1

Connection with Motors & Power Cable

Note : In order to prevent the stack from being burnt out instantaneous voltage spikes on powering up, it is strongly recommended to use the Low ESR capacitor in the package.

ESC Conifguration & Firmware Update

• This ESC is a 32-bit ESC running BLHeli32 firmware inside. Since the BLHeli32 is close-sourced. So ESC configuration & firmware update can’t be done wirelessly in the SpeedyBee app. Please download the latest BLHeliSuit32 configurator to setup your ESC at https://github.com/bitdump/BLHeli/releases.
• Even so, you could still change motor directions in the app for this ESC. Please connect to the app, go to Motors page, click the button shown below. Then experience the easiest and coolest way to change motor directions.
