Matek Flight Controllers

Matek (Mateksys) flight controllers are the standard pick for INAV and ArduPilot builds — fixed wings, VTOLs and long-range quads — because of their documented pinouts, generous UART counts and first-class support in both firmwares. This page collects every Matek FC in our Flight Controllers range, from the H743-WING V3 with its servo rails and dual power inputs to the 30×30 and 20×20 H743-Slim and Mini boards that suit quads running Betaflight or ArduPilot. Matek power modules, BECs, GNSS and CAN nodes are listed in their own categories.

Which Matek FC

  • H743-WING V3: the fixed-wing/VTOL board — 8 UARTs, servo outputs with their own BEC, dual battery inputs, current sensing, SD-card logging; INAV and ArduPilot targets.
  • H743-Slim V4 (30.5×30.5) and H743-Mini V3 (20×20): quad boards with the same H743 processor and ArduPilot/INAV/Betaflight support — the usual choice for ArduPilot copters built on FPV frames.
  • H7A3-Slim: a 30×30 board on the H7A3 processor for Betaflight/INAV quads.
  • F405-HDTE: the budget F405 board with digital-video wiring for quads and light wings.

What we stock

Mateksys H743-WING V3, H743-Slim V4, H743-Mini V3, H7A3-Slim and F405-HDTE. Matching Matek gear sits elsewhere in the catalog: M10Q-5883 and M9N-5883 GNSS/compass modules, the AP_Periph DroneCAN GNSS and CAN nodes, PM12S/PM20S power modules, FCHUB and PDB-HEX distribution boards, and the Micro/12S Pro BECs.

Compatibility

All Matek boards here have current INAV and ArduPilot targets (and Betaflight on the quad boards). The WING V3 accepts up to 8S on its main input; the Slim/Mini boards take 2–6S (3–8S on some pads — check the listing). Matek publishes full wiring diagrams for each board, and their GNSS modules ship with the matching JST-GH/SH leads.

Frequently asked questions

Which Matek FC for a fixed wing or VTOL?
The H743-WING V3 — servo rails with a dedicated BEC, dual battery inputs and 8 UARTs, with INAV and ArduPilot support. It is the default wing controller in both communities.
Can Matek boards run Betaflight?
The quad boards (H743-Slim, H743-Mini, H7A3-Slim, F405-HDTE) run Betaflight as well as INAV/ArduPilot. The WING boards are INAV/ArduPilot only.
Do I need a separate GPS for ArduPilot on a Matek FC?
Yes — the FC has no GNSS. Pair it with a Matek M10Q-5883 or M9N-5883 (GPS plus compass) over UART, or the AP_Periph DroneCAN GNSS over CAN.
