Hi,
I have designed my own PCB using X7 schematic on Ardupilot site.
Can anyone help me how to proceed in software part from scratch?

Thanks

Hey
(https://github.com/cuav/hardw[https://github.com/cuav/hardware/blob/master/X7_Autopilot/X7%2BCORE_RC03.pdf](https://github.com/cuav/hardware/blob/master/X7_Autopilot/X7%2BCORE_RC03.pdf)are/blob/master/X7_Autopilot/X7%2BCORE_RC03.pdf)
Can i directly replicate this design for my own board.
Will it be functional?

Can you suggest any video related to this?

Thanks.

Hi
I am very thankful to you that you are helping me and answering all my questions.
I searched on youtube but unfortunately i did not any video in which step by step procedure is given for firmware part for fresh board using x7 schematic or anyother.

Thanks.

If no such video exist, the only solution for you is to read the instructions that I posted.

Thank you for your interest in CUAV’s innovative design. It is limited to a design reference, cannot be 100% reproduced, and requires acknowledgment that the design originated from CUAV. But for the base plate, you can make any modifications.

Hi CUAV,
I tried to reach you but got no response.
So i just wanted to know that if i use X7 schematic available on ardupilot, will it work perfectly.
And where can i get X7+ pro schematic and Firmware part.

Thanks

Thanks

Just send me PM on this forum. I work at IAV GmbH.

good day, in my personal opinion better stay far from CUAV…, i can suggest you looking on Google for this repository KAME FMU…you can find schematic and the design for understand the way about the design of an FC.

Hi, the original schematic diagram of X7 provided on ardupilot can work normally in most cases, but it should be noted that any hardware is constantly being improved. The X7+ pro schematic is not yet open, for the firmware you can download it in ArduPliot (folder name CUAV X7)

hi my friend you should provide the link of KAME FMU.

18

Why? What would be the interest in building an old F4 based Flight Controller? What a waste of time.

19

Exactly.
I agree with Dave.

KAME FMU repository can be use for understand the way about a proper design… F4 mcu its pin compatible with F777 while H743/H753 are pin compatible… while choosing the mcu you want use you can modify the schematic.
NO one said to design an F4 FC
