4.2 Aggiornamento e configurazione del firmware

1. Connetti al PC: Connect the flight controller to your computer via a USB cable.
2. Installa i driver: Ensure all necessary drivers are installed for your flight controller.
3. Firmware flash: Open Betaflight Configurator or INAV Configurator. Select the appropriate firmware target for the F4V3S and flash the latest stable version.
4. Configurazione iniziale: Follow the setup wizard within the configurator to perform initial sensor calibration, ESC protocol selection (e.g., Dshot), and receiver setup.
5. OSD Configuration: Configure the On-Screen Display (OSD) settings to show desired flight data (voltage, current, flight mode, GPS coordinates, etc.).
6. SmartAudio V2: If using SmartAudio, configure it via TX6 on J10 to control your VTX settings from your remote or OSD.
7. Blackbox Setup: If using an SD card for blackbox logging, ensure it is properly formatted and configured in the software.
8. Motori di prova: Carefully test motor direction and response in the configurator's motor tab (with propellers removed for safety).

5. Operativo

Once the flight controller is set up, you can proceed with operating your drone. Always ensure you are in a safe environment and follow local regulations for drone operation.

5.1 Controlli pre-volo

• Verifica che tutte le connessioni siano sicure.
• Check propeller direction and tightness.
• Assicurarsi che la batteria sia completamente carica.
• Confirm GPS lock (if applicable) and home point set.
• Check OSD for critical information like battery voltage.

5.2 Operazioni di volo
