Having issues with CoreWing F405 WING V2, no supported ardurover firmware

ArduRover Miscellaneous

i’m working on a USV using the corewing f405 wing v2 but there is no supported ardurover firmware for it, i’ve tried using the matek f405’s firmware and speedybee’s but both have problems either with the IMU (speedybee) or the barometer (matek) does anyone have experience with this board? will i be able to run ardurover on it or should i just buy another one?

i know the board is not defective or anything since i was able to run inav firmware on it and make an rc car out of it, today ill probably try to do waypoint missions with it since it has gps.

heres my entire components list:
Flight controller stack

  • CoreWing F405 WING V2 (flight controller board, top plate, and PDB PLUS, running as a set)
  • CoreWing Wireless USB Extender PRO (came with the stack, not yet used for telemetry)

Receiver and RC link

  • Radiolink R6FG receiver (individual PWM outputs per channel)
  • ESP32-WROOM-32 DevKitC clone, with a CP2102 USB-to-UART chip, used as a PWM-to-SBUS bridge

GPS and compass

  • Walksnail WS-M181 (GPS over UART, compass over I2C)

Firmware and tools

  • INAV Configurator, current firmware setup for the rover
  • Arduino IDE, for the ESP32 sketch
  • SBUS library by Bolder Flight Systems, for the ESP32’s SBUS output

it looks like it should use the speedybee f405 WING firmware

That and the Wing Mini version do look like knock-offs of the SpeedyBee FC’s. But those driver errors are indicative of some hardware change from the plagiarized models perhaps.

The speedybee firmware was giving me imu issues, not sure how to fix those…

5

Yeah the manual indicates to NOT connect speedybee boards on the stack or it will short

6

It also has a comparison table to the SpeedyBee board…

Actually ReadyMade RC, a reputable US retailer, says this about that Flight Controller.
The CoreWing F405 WING V2 (formerly known as the SpeedyBee F405 WING APP)

And for what they sell these for you could have gotten the suggested TBS H7 Lucid for less. A great Flight Controller from personal experience.

Anyway there are hardware changes from the SpeedyBee board so the firmware isn’t going to work unless someone makes that happen.

Someone on reddit replied (since i’ve crossposted to reddit)"In the Ardupilot repo there are tools to make converting Betaflight target to Ardupilot hardware definition (.hwdef) easier.” I’m pretty new with ardupilot and stuff so i’d have to look into it

Watch the video from an Ardupilot developer.
