Axisflying Argus Plug and Play F7 Flight Controller, STM32F722, 4 UARTs, Dual BEC 5V/9V, X8 PWM, 16MB Blackbox

Overview

Axisflying Argus Plug and Play F7 Flight Controller is part of the Argus electronic series (FC, ESC and stack). The FC uses an STM32F722 processor and is designed for plug-in connection to common FPV peripherals, supporting up to eight motor outputs for X8 builds. The Argus design features CNC full aluminum cover wrapping and IP54 dustproof/water-splash protection; do not immerse or use underwater. Status LEDs (Status, 9V, VCC, 5V), a USB Type‑C and a BOOT key are provided for quick setup and diagnosis.

Key Features

• IP54 dustproof and splashproof; aluminum cover enlarges radiating surface for rapid heat dissipation.
• Plug-and-play peripheral connectivity: HD Air Unit (DJI O3), analog camera, GPS, receiver, RGB LED strip and beeper supported.
• Integrated dual BEC: 5V @2A and 9V @2A; direct connection support for DJI O3 Air Unit.
• Up to 8 motor outputs (X8 PWM) to build octocopter configurations.
• ESC sensor supported; compatible with Argus 55A/65A BLHeli_32 3–6S ESCs (96 kHz PWM).
• INAV support alongside Betaflight configuration workflows.
• Quick status check via dedicated LED indicators and accessible BOOT key.

Applications

• FPV drones requiring a robust F7 flight controller with plug-and-play wiring.
• Octocopter (X8) builds needing eight motor outputs and BLHeli_32 ESCs.
• HD and analog FPV setups with DJI O3 Air Unit or analog VTX/camera.

Manuals

• Factory default port mapping: UART1 MSP; UART2 Receiver; UART3 GPS; UART4 ESC; UART5 Default; UART6 Default.
• Board/sensor alignment: if installed backward, set Yaw to 180° in Flight Control and Sensor Orientation; Save and reboot.
• Receiver protocol: use CRSF for TBS/ELRS; use SBUS for DJI FPV Remote Controller series and other SBUS receivers.
• Motor direction default: reverse motor rotation (No.1 counterclockwise, No.2 clockwise). Ensure correct prop orientation.
• X8 setup steps: set Mixer to OCTO X8; verify eight motor rotation directions; use Motor direction/Reorder motors wizard; remove all propellers during testing.
• ESC installation: recommended right side up; if XT60 lead faces the front when installed face up, re-adjust motor sequence per Betaflight wizard.
• Current sensor calibration: set Current Proportion Scale to 400 for relatively accurate OSD current data.
• Safety: remove all propellers when connecting to Betaflight; flashing custom firmware may cause instability.
