OK, maybe it’s time to let old faithful go.

Furthermore, Ardupilot will provide FPORT support for F4 and Maytek boards only.
So Pixhawk FC is the step child?
https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-FPort-receivers.html
It’s Fport if the Fport firmware is flashed, it’s Sport if not. Same port on the Rx.
Pixhawk is F4 so it needs a bi-directional converter. F7’s make things so simple.
oh…so F4 stands for Pixhawk like 2.4.6 “or” 2.4.8 “or” FMUV1 “or” FMUV2 “or” V3? “or” PXK1 “or” Cube “or” Pixhawk Cube “or” Pixhawk 2.1 “or” Pixhawk Orange “or” Pixhawk Blue “or” Pixhawk Purple rain… ha ha
Did I miss any other names?..oh forgot, Ardupilot FC…dah!
Jesus, why do we have so many different names for the same FC (pretty much)…lol
also referenced as Autopilot…
My wife calls them, “What a mess”…now that’s a good one!!!
It’s the processor, STM32F4xx. The problem started when Ardupilot began supporting boards that were generically called “F4 boards”. Previously the only Flight Control firmware for these boards was Betaflight, Cleanflight, Butterflight, Blah Blah flight. Some called them “Betaflight boards”. But many of them have the same processor and/or IMU’s as a Pixhawk. The Pixhawk name itself has been spread pretty thin also as there are all kinds of variants. So yes, fairly messy 
Seriously, Engineers should never be allowed to name products…lol
I am one…
I came from a product development /sales marketing background. You want to destroy a good brand, above is a fine example.
And throw in FrSky variance we got ourselves Jambalaya …
ha ha
Thats a real poor man yummy dish for sure…
p.s. just ordered one these, i think I am done with the name “Pixhawk” its like Corona virus
I am going to sell all my Pixhawks 1, 2, 3, 4, and all rainbow colors

Matek and Holybro are producing some nice Flight Controllers priced right.
The only thing I am not liking about Matek is;
- No CAN support?
- Supports 6S awesome so no external voltage reg.
- You need one for Plane and one for quads…hmm
You can get CAN on UART 4 by uncommenting these and compiling:
'# CAN bus (disabled as used for UART4)
#PD1 CAN1_TX CAN1
#PD0 CAN1_RX CAN1
Many of these boards accept direct battery voltage, very convenient.
Planes/quads, not sure what you mean. The -Wing boards are fine for quads if that’s the queston.
I am not there yet to compile codes…
Matek F765 why is it called a wing?
Another engineer named the product???
Today I tested Matek F765 on Crash test hobby wing. Flawless.
Running 4.0.5 fw
Anyone still using Pixhawk must have a 486 Pc in the garage zooming thru Dos code.
Riz why Matek F765 is called a wing? if it also supports quads…
@dave, could you please elaborate on how Matek wing FC will work with quad?
F405 has only one esc out and F765 has two.
Where does it say in the documentation that it supports quadcopter?
They named it wing to make sure people don’t buy wing FC for quad
