Software
1. The SP Racing F3 runs the open-source Cleanflight flight control (FC) software which has an ever-growing community of friendly developers and users. Being open-source means that you too can contribute to the system.
2. Clean flight comes with a detailed manual that is reviewed and maintained by the Clean flight developers and community.
3. No more out-of-date wiki pages and second-hand information.
4. Ensure you reference the manual that is appropriate to your firmware version.
5. History: The hardware was designed by the lead developer of Clean flight, Dominic Clifton, to be more capable than the STM32F1-based boards after hearing feedback from the Cleanflight users, contributors and top-pilots.
6. Failure to adhere to these warnings will void your warranty and destroy your flight
controller.
7. Observe polarity at ALL TIMES. Check and DOUBLE CHECK before applying power.
8. Power of before unplugging, plugging in or making any connections.
9. Connect only one SOURCE of power to the VCC pins / Do not connect more than one source of power to two or more of the VCC pins. e.g. If you are using ESCs with BECs then remove the center RED wire from all but one ESC connector.
Warnings
1. Follow the advice below for best performance and long-life of your flight controller
2. Apply resin/glue to reinforce JST-SH connectors helps if you crash your aircraft.
3. Using an enclosure / box for the flight controller is recommended.
4. Install open-cell foam under the pressure sensor - sandwich some between the FC and frame.
5. Route motor/battery wires as far away from the compass sensor (magnetometer) as possible.
6. Only install the BOOT jumper pins if you need them.
7. Using color coded pin headers is recommended (not supplied), especially for VBAT headers.
8. Do everything you can to prevent vibrations reaching the accelerometer sensor.
