Learn how to build a drone with our step-by-step guides

 Introducing radix, the smartest, most innovative line of drone electronics BrainFPV has ever developed.

    hello graphics

On top of the normal Betaflight OSD, radix on-screen-display gives you extra features you can't get anywhere else. Proudly show off your pilot and team logo using our logo customizer with just a click of a button. Extra features also include a graphical barometer scale, artificial horizon, gyro spectograph, RC stick display, 3D OSD support and more! 

    hello features

There are WAY MORE features than customizing your logo on the splash screen. Features you cannot get with the normal Betaflight OSD. You have heard about the graphical features of our OSD. But what exactly are they, and how do I use them? Find out about all the cool features and how to enable them here: HOW TO PIMP YOUR BRAINFPV OSD

    hello flexibility

radix is engineered to perfection with a visually stunning form factor and plug-and-play stacking. The radix flight controller uses soft cables for vibration isolation and stacks seamlessly on the radix power board, Hobbywing 4-in-1 ESC, and radix wing power board (wPB). Its simple, sophisticated design facilitates a faster build time and minimizes human error.

    hello innovation

The fastest STM32 F4 processor running at 180MHz, as well as the industry leading Bosch gyro for an unparalleled flight performance!
Integrated BAROMETER, a necessity for long range flyers! How high are you?
Never run out of space with the MicroSD card slot for logging enthusiasts!
A dedicated camera control pad for changing camera settings in the field!
FOUR full hardware serial ports (UARTs), making it easy to use telemetry, change VTX settings, without ever running out of ports! Two of them feature signal inverters for S.Bus and SmartPort, allowing for a flawless setup!

    hello performance

Supporting up to 8S and 160A, the radix pb (power board) can handle serious power. The integrated LC filter and 5V (2A) regulator provide noise reduction and clean power to the radix fc and other peripherals. Get the cleanest sexiest build by soldering the motor and ESC telemetry signals directly to the radix pb, and connecting it to the radix fc using the included cable. Oh yeah, did we mention there are four integrated programmable LED’s?

 

 

GET YOUR WING ON! Use the radix wpb (wing power board) and combine it with the radix fc for a simple and clean fixed-wing solution. Servos can be directly connected to the radix wpb and the integrated 5V 2A (3A burst) voltage regulator can optionally power them as well. Of course also the wpb can handle serious power, supporting 8S  and up to 160A burst current. An integrated filter makes sure that you always have clean video and the current sensor provides accurate current measurement so you don't run out of battery on top of a mountain!

NOTE: The radix wpb has been discontinued. For now, we recommend the 20x20 mm RADIX LI wPB.

How Does RADIX Compare to the Competition?

Here is a comparison with our previous flight controller, the BrainFPV RE1, and other recently released products. I hope you agree that RADIX kicks ass 🙂
