Overview
AI BetaFlight 2-in-1 Flight Controller
The AI BetaFlight 2-in-1 Flight Controller combines a traditional Betaflight flight controller and an AI vision tracking system into a single lightweight board.
Unlike conventional FPV flight controllers, this innovative solution integrates AI target detection, target locking, autonomous tracking, and flight control functions into one compact module, significantly reducing system complexity, weight, wiring requirements, and installation time.
Designed for FPV drones, autonomous UAVs, target tracking aircraft, research projects, and intelligent robotics applications, the controller supports ELRS receivers, analog FPV video transmitters, DSHOT ESCs, and 1080P digital cameras.
With AI-assisted target tracking and autonomous guidance capability, the system can continue pursuing a locked target even when the operator experiences temporary signal interruption or visual blind spots.

FAQ
Q: Does the AI Vision Tracking Flight Controller support both a visible-light FPV camera and a thermal imaging camera?
A: Currently, the AI Vision Tracking Flight Controller supports a single FPV visible-light camera for AI target detection and tracking. We are actively developing a dual-sensor EO/IR (Electro-Optical / Infrared) version that will support both a visible-light FPV camera and a thermal imaging camera simultaneously. This upcoming version will enable AI target tracking using either visual or thermal imagery, making it suitable for day, night, and low-visibility operations.
A: Currently, the AI Vision Tracking Flight Controller is only compatible with Betaflight firmware (version 4.6).
At this stage, we do not support other firmware such as iNav or ArduPilot. The system is fully optimized and tested specifically for Betaflight 4.6 to ensure stable flight control performance and reliable AI tracking functions.
Q: Does it work with analog or digital VTX systems?
A: The system currently supports analog FPV VTX only.
It is designed and optimized for traditional analog video transmission (CVBS), ensuring low latency and stable real-time performance, which is critical for AI vision tracking applications.
Q: Does it work with my Radiomaster XT16 remote controller?
A: Compatibility depends on both your transmitter and receiver setup, especially the communication protocol used between them. This system supports standard RC receiver protocols such as ELRS (CRSF protocol) and other common Betaflight-compatible receiver interfaces.
If your Radiomaster XT16 is paired with a compatible receiver (for example ELRS or a CRSF-compatible receiver), it can work normally. However, compatibility cannot be determined by the transmitter alone — it also depends on the receiver protocol used in your drone system.
What drone sizes are supported?
The controller supports 5-inch to 18-inch quadcopter platforms.
Does it require a separate flight controller?
No. The Betaflight flight controller is already integrated.
Which receivers are supported?
ELRS receivers using the CRSF protocol.
Which ESC protocols are supported?
DSHOT300 and DSHOT600.
Does it support analog FPV transmitters?
Yes. It is compatible with standard CVBS analog VTX systems.
Can it lock moving targets?
Yes. The AI hard-lock mode can track moving and stationary targets.
Does it support night operation?
Yes. Starlight night vision cameras are supported, with adjustable brightness settings.
Is Betaflight Configurator supported?
The controller supports Betaflight 4.6 Web Configurator.
Can firmware be upgraded?
Yes. Firmware can be upgraded through the onboard web management interface.
