FPV hobby cannot be imagined without the use of signal transmitting antennas. Over time, many different types of antennas have been connected to electronic components. Let's analyze the types of connectors and discuss the difference between them.

The first ESC from Matek with the brand new SerialShot protocol

The first ESC from Matek with the brand new SerialShot protocol

Matek has unveiled its first 4-in-1 ESC, which will run on a brand new proprietary SerialShot protocol. Matek promises that this protocol will completely change the way ESCs connect to the flight controller.

Traditionally, each ESC channel is controlled by a separate micro processor. With SerialShot, a single processor will be able to control all four ESC channels simultaneously.

As you can see in the video, the cable from the flight controller to the 4-in-1 ESC has only 4 wires - VBAT, GND and Serial UART (RX and TX). SerialShot will only require the last 3 wires, which is much less compared to other protocols that require a minimum of 5 wires to work.

Matek's new 4-in-1 ESC will be made with a single STM32 F4 processor specifically for SerialShot use. The use of a single processor should significantly reduce the cost of production of the 4-in-1 ESC and therefore reduce the final price for the consumer.

It is not yet known how the new protocol will work with individual regulators.
