(SPIDER Automation) Matek Systems F405-WTE Upgraded Fixed-Wing Flight Controller | STM32F405, ICM42688-P, ELRS & ESP Wi-Fi

SPIDER Automation Matek F405-WTE Fixed-Wing Flight Controller | STM32F405 MCU

Description

SPIDER Automation Matek Systems F405-WTE Upgraded Flight Controller is purpose-built and specially designed for fixed-wing aircraft, FPV gliders, and long-range UAV platforms. Driven by a powerful STM32F405RGT6 microcontroller operating at 168 MHz with 1MB of Flash memory, it delivers exceptional computational power and responsiveness for complex flight stabilization and autonomous navigation.

Designed with professional builders and hobbyists in mind, the F405-WTE integrates high-end navigation hardware including an ICM42688-P IMU and SPL06-001 barometer. It stands out with built-in wireless capabilities—featuring an onboard ESP Wi-Fi telemetry module and an integrated ELRS 2.4G receiver. Complete with an AT7456E OSD, MicroSD card slot for blackbox data logging, a 220A current sensor, and massive I/O expandability (6 UARTs and 12 PWM outputs), it provides the ultimate command center for modern fixed-wing setups.

Key Features

• STM32F405RGT6 Microcontroller: 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 core operating at 168 MHz with 1MB Flash memory and floating-point unit (FPU).
• Advanced IMU & Barometer: Features the high-precision ICM42688-P 6-axis gyroscope/accelerometer and SPL06-001 barometric pressure sensor.
• Wireless Telemetry & Control: Built-in ESP Wi-Fi module for wireless parameter tuning and an integrated ELRS 2.4G receiver for reliable radio control links.
• Onboard Blackbox Logging: Dedicated MicroSD card slot supporting high-speed logging for advanced flight analysis and tuning.
• Integrated OSD & Current Sensor: AT7456E chip for crisp On-Screen Display data alongside a 220A current sensor (3.3V ADC, scale 150 in INAV, 66.7 A/V in ArduPilot).
• Extensive Peripheral Ports: Outfitted with 6 UART ports, 12 PWM outputs, and an I2C interface to handle servos, GPS modules, and digital VTX systems.
• Compact Mounting Footprint: Standard 25 x 25 mm mounting hole pattern with 2 mm diameter for lightweight carbon fiber and foam airframes.

Benefits

• All-In-One Avionics Solution: Integrated ELRS receiver and Wi-Fi telemetry eliminate the need for extra external receiver modules and wiring clutter.
• Optimized for Fixed-Wing Airframes: 12 PWM outputs provide comprehensive surface control mixing for dual motors, flaps, ailerons, and V-tails.
• Reliable Flight Data Diagnostics: MicroSD card blackbox recording ensures you can review vibration, tuning, and flight path data post-flight.
• Firmware Versatility: Fully compatible with leading open-source flight controller firmwares including INAV and ArduPilot.

Applications

• Long-Range FPV Fixed-Wing Aircraft: Autonomous mapping planes, cruising gliders, and long-range reconnaissance UAVs.
• Dual-Motor & Complex Wings: Advanced airframes requiring extensive PWM mixer routing for multiple control surfaces and motors.
• Autonomous Survey & Mapping Drones: Professional aerial photography platforms utilizing GPS return-to-home and waypoint navigation.
• FPV Racing & Sport Jets: High-speed fixed-wing models requiring fast sensor loops and precise stabilization.

Package Includes

• 1 x Matek F405-WTE Flight Controller (STM32F405RGT6 with OSD, MicroSD Slot, ELRS Receiver & Wi-Fi)
