AET-F405 Flight Controller Configuration and Tuning Guide
This document explains Ardupilot configuration and tuning logic for beginners and provides a complete walkthrough for installing and configuring an AeroEgg AET F405A WING fixed-wing flight controller in a fixed-wing FPV aircraft.
The AeroEgg AET F405A WING fixed-wing flight controller uses a dual-layer design comprising a flight controller and power BEC board. It features an STM32F405VGT6 main controller, an ICM42688 accelerometer and gyroscope, a DPS310 barometer, an integrated OSD, and an onboard Bluetooth telemetry link module.
It provides 6 UART ports, 10 PWM signal outputs, and 1 SDA I2C parallel peripheral interface.
The onboard servo BEC supplies 5V at up to 5A continuous current.
The 5V BEC provides 4A continuous output, meeting the power requirements of 5V serial peripheral devices.
The 9V BEC provides 2A continuous output, meeting the power requirements of high-power video transmitters.
