Flyduino KISS Flight Controller V2 Manual v1.0
image: Upper / Top Side
A new simplified Flight controller, the KISS FC V2 includes a complete own Flight Control Firmware
development.
The Idea was to get the simple KISS FC to the next level and due to intensive long term tests of some pretty
good Pilots we were able to optimize the code to a point where you hopefully get your quad in the air quite
quick.
Normally you just need to choose your Airframe in the GUI and you are able to fly (at least with KISS ESC),
otherwise you can download presets of well known pilots for given configurations and of course you can
tweak the PID yourself through the GUI.

The software setup side is reduced as far as we could, many things are already taken into account for you, if
you have some solid soldering skills you should be able to build your quad pretty quick.
A known feature is also the telemetry, in combination with our 32bit ESC line it‘s possible to show the live
telemetry data via OSD on your FPV live feed or in the KISS FC GUI.
This way you get useful informations like the Voltage of your battery, current consumption, ESC temperature
and motor RPM.
Other FC firmwares (eg. Betaflight) are ported for the use with the KISS FC V2.
NOTE: its recommended to keep the FC level and firm for at least 5 seconds after you powered it!
If you move it, the gyro calibration might take longer and fails, indicated by the blue LED staying solid.
On startup the green LED should be lit and the blue one should be flashing for several seconds, then go solid
for a second and if the calibration is complete go off.

There are 8 Receiver inputs and channels: 4 for the sticks and 4 AUX channels 1-4
Other Specs & Features
MCU: STM32F722RET6 @216Mhz
IMU: MPU6000
Weight: 5g
Mounting Holes: 3x3cm pattern with 3.3mm holes (compatible with most frame types)

The needed USB driver usually will be installed when you connect the FC for the first time.
It may take several minutes before you can use the FC and connect it to the GUI.

6
Connections
There are 6 ESC outputs for 2-6 Motors.
The first 4 ESC Outputs are in place for use on the most common QuadX Copter type
Here’s a recommended wiring diagram:
Please note that all Parts that are used together with the KISS FC V2 should be connected referring to their
specifications that can be found in their manuals.

Wiring Diagram
All available pins and connections:
The 6pin sockets (SER1, SER3 and PDB) are used with the KISS Distribution board cable. (6pin 1mm)

GUI (Graphical User Interface)
The GUI (versions for Win, Mac, iOS and Android available) consists of 7 pages: The „Welcome“ page with all
connections, the „Configuration“ page for the settings, “Advanced”for advanced settings, the „Data Output“
for Sensorgraphs, Rates, TPA and the two Flasher tabs.
