Comparison Between G473 and F411

Say goodbye to limitations and embrace the cutting-edge technology of the G473 flight controller for an unparalleled flight experience. Air Brushless Flight Controller features up to 168MHz superior CPU Clock Speed and 4 richer serial ports, enabling lightning-fast response times and advanced computing power, making it ideal for demanding flight, which takes your flying experience to the next level and demonstrates outstanding performance, surpassing all 1S FC options available on the market at present.

Betaflight official developers recommend using version 42688 of the gyroscope, and many issues with ICM42688 have been fixed in version 4.5.0. Please learn more from version 4.5.0.

DO NOT flash the firmware with a shorter interval, otherwise, there will be a certain chance of stalling and burning the flight controller.

Connecting External RX/VTX

Please note that UART2 has connected to the VTX by default. This FC reserves 3 complete full-featured serial ports that can be used for external CRSF/SBUS receivers, GPS, HD VTX, or other serial devices. You can refer to the below pictures.

Attention
VTX Power: Higher VTX power consumes more energy and generates more heat, reducing flight time. For better flight time in indoor scenarios, use 25~100mW power.

Motor Wiring: Only soldering is supported for motor wiring on the flight control. Avoid terminal plugging.

VTX Antenna: Connect and install the image transmission antenna before powering on the flight control. Alternatively, set transmission power to 0 to avoid burnout.
