I wanted to use the 50amp Speedybee ESC with the Apm 2.8. Is it possible?

Possible but not recommended:

Hardware To Avoid When Building Your First Multirotor

Hobbyists new to Arducopter, or Ardupilot in general, often make the mistake of starting out with sub-par hardware which in the best case causes frustration and in the worst case actually costs them more in the long run when expectations are not met and the hardware has to be replaced. So, the following is a suggested list of hardware to avoid. I realize cost is often a driving factor or limitation but this is not considering that, simply performance. Flight Controllers: The APM flight control…

Even if it is not recommended, can someone tell me how to use it.

[amilcarlucas]

That is the problem, almost no one uses that, so almost no one can answer you. But you can search this forum section and in the documentation archives.

Not even a VAGUE idea? Also I can’t buy any new boards since over here in India they are really expensive. A Speedybee F405 V3 Stack is around $75.

Use any ESC that accepts PWM, which is practically all of them. But I would throw that APM in the trash.

its £15 for cheapest board that can run latest ardupilot. There is no good reason to use a APM.

Like any other FC, plus you have to hope that it’s built to the original specs (whatever they are) and that the components are working.

You really don’t want to do that unless you really like your 8 bit controllers and want to spend way more time troubleshooting on your own than it is worth.

Get any supported F405 based flight controller with baro and you will be good.

Oh sure, I wouldn’t do it, and he shouldn’t do it. But he seems hell-bent on using it…
