Today, I'll show you how to set up SmartPort Telemetry on the Matek F405 or, at least in principle, any other Betaflight F4 flight controller. I'll explain what it means that SmartPort is an "inverted protocol", why F4 flight controllers are particularly susceptible to this issue, and how to fix it.
