Key features
- Supports ArduPilot and INAV; ArduPlane is the fixed-wing recommended path in the manual.

- Manual includes UART/SERIAL mapping and default function references.
- Built-in analog video switch for two camera inputs.
Suitable builds
- Fixed-wing users who want a richer F4WSE family board.
- ArduPlane or INAV builds where open firmware and wiring clarity are important.
- Users upgrading from simpler fixed-wing controllers.
Getting started
- For fixed-wing aircraft, start with ArduPlane or INAV rather than generic multirotor assumptions.
- Check the SERIAL mapping table before assigning telemetry, GPS, or receiver ports.
- For dual analog camera switching, connect the two camera video signals to C0 and C1, connect the analog VTX video input to VTX, and keep both cameras and the VTX on a shared ground.
- In ArduPilot, configure the switch as Relay2 with RELAY2_PIN=82 and RELAY2_FUNCTION=1, then assign an RC channel such as RC8_OPTION=34 to toggle the active camera input.
