JustStan bf32b28266 Standardize repo: .gitignore, README, license, remove production from tracking
- Standardize .gitignore to match ecosystem template
- Fix README: remove stale Radioschematic ref, fix 10V→12V, remove generic sections
- Replace LICENSE stub with full CERN-OHL-S-2.0 text
- Remove production/ from git tracking (generated, re-exportable)
- Untrack generated files: OpenFC.net, replicate_layout.log, ibom, old render

OpenFC

Open-source Betaflight flight controller with integrated break-off ELRS receiver, based on the RP2354B microcontroller.

OpenFC Front OpenFC Back

Features

Microcontroller

  • RP2354B - Raspberry Pi dual-core ARM Cortex-M33 @ 150MHz (with integrated flash)

Integrated ELRS Receiver (Break-off)

  • On-board 2.4GHz ExpressLRS receiver module
  • Break-off design allows for different placement if needed

Sensors

  • IMU: LSM6DSV16XTR
  • Barometer: BMP388

Blackbox Data Logging

  • BY25Q128ASWIG - 128Mbit (16MB)

Motor Outputs

  • 4x PWM/DShot motor outputs

Analog OSD on PIO

Hardware implementation of opamp and mux to detect syncs and select between white and black pixels. Needs software implementation still.

Connectivity

  • USB-C - Configuration and firmware flashing
  • UART0 - Serial RX/TX (ELRS connection pads)
  • UART1 - Spare serial port
  • PIO UART - Software UART via RP2350 PIO (2x)
  • I2C - External sensor expansion
  • SPI - IMU and Blackbox on isolated bus.

Analog Inputs

  • Current sensor input (ADC)
  • RSSI input (ADC)
  • 1 external available ADC input

Additional Features

  • Addressable LED strip output (WS2812/NeoPixel)
  • Buzzer output
  • 16 LED's built in on corners
  • ELRS ESP flashable by the RP2354B (BOOT/EN pins connected)

Power

  • 2S-6S batteries
  • 12V and 5V regulated outputs, 12V is switchable
