# Aikon F4
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
FC with no PDB aimed at multi-rotor and fixed wing use, Aikon F4 features a carefully-chosen timer design which allowed to run 4-6 motors with burst DSHOT with maximum efficiency. On board are dedicated pads for ESC telemetry, VTX and camera control. Board also features an 11-pin connector for plug-and-play connection with Aikon AK32 4in1 ESC, providing voltage, current and ESC telemetry reading with no additional wires.

### Features
|
|
UART3 inverter is controllable by software, you can use the SBUS pad for any unidirectional protocol by setting `serialrx_inverted` accordingly. There's also a solder-jumper to bypass the inverter and connecto UART3_RX to `DSMX` pad directly.
|
|
|
|
Software serial is preconfigured by default, all you have to do is enable SOFTSERIAL1 for VTX control and SOFTSERIAL2 for ESC sensor on the Ports tab in Configurator.

## FAQ & Known Issues
|
|
* First revision has no diode protecting the 5V input on the 11-pin ESC connector, make sure to pull the 5V wire coming from our ESC in order to avoid two regulators fighting against each other
|
|
* First revision has RX4 (ESC Telemetry) and GND pad silkscreen swapped near motor outputs
