Kakute F7
Installation Guide
Install the Kakute F7 in your quadcopter frame. Do not
completely reassemble the frame. Leave the Kakute F7
accessible so that you can solder wires to it. For example,
leave the top plate of your frame off so that you are working
only with the base-plate.
Having the Kakute F7 mounted in the frame will allow you to
ensure that wire lengths are correct as you solder accessories
to the board. When in doubt, it’s always better to leave a
little extra wire.
You will most likely be installing the Kakute F7 with a Power
Distribution Board (PDB) or a 4-in-1 ESC. The Kakute F7 will
probably install on top of this board, in the flight control
stack. You should install the motors on the frame, solder the
motor wires to the ESC, and solder the ESCs to the PDB (if
you’re using a PDB) before you begin installing the Kakute F7.
Be 100% sure that the front-facing arrow on the Kakute F7
faces the front of the quadcopter!
If for some reason this is
not possible, then you must use Cleanflight or Betaflight’s
“board align” feature to compensate.
