FETtec KISS G4 – first STM32G4 Flight Controller

FETtec KISS G4 is the first flight controller with STM32G4 processor in the market. STM43G4 is an updated version of the F4 MCU with improved performance and analog signal processing capabilities. Read more about the flight controller processors here: Flight controller MCU – F1, F3, G4, F4, F7 and H7

This board features Graphical OSD, 5 hardware UARTS. FETtec KISS G4 has 8 DShot2400 capable outputs,  4 RGB light LEDs for decoration and style.

FETtec KISS G4 has solder pads for ESCs on the each corner of the board also 8 ESCs can be plugged in with 2x 8 pin connectors. The FC has total of 6 connectors for peripherals (see the list in the specs).

FETtec KISS G4 FC has dual BEC – 5V BEC for RX and 5V/16V BEC for VTX (switchable and real Pit*).
