Arducopter will be in kakute F7 v1.5
They change the imu too IMU: MPU6000 (SPI)
Does the firmware 3.6.10 support this change?
Not the Kakute F7 currently in the depository. It’s configured for the ICM20689. Some kind soul will have to create a version for that FC.
Don’t think I have ever seen a Kakute F7 with an MPU600, that would be a retrograde step. Are you sure you are correct? My recently bought Kakute F7 AIO and mini both have the 20689
That 1.5 version does have that IMU. I would guess for the Betaflight crew that say its “low noise”.
V1.5 actually does have MPU6000. Look here: http://www.holybro.com/product/kakute-f7-v1-5/
Hopefully we get arducopter support
Interesting… the hwdef.dat for KakuteF7 specifies
# one IMU
IMU Invensense SPI:mpu6000 ROTATION_YAW_180
maybe that works for both ICM20689 and MPU6000?
The difference is no fast-sampling on the MPU6000 because the accel fifo is too slow.
The drivers are basically the same, so I would have thought it would just work.
Confirm. Just get today 1.5 with MPU6000
But tried to flash firmware same way as I do with F4 v3AIO without success.
What I did:
- download arducopter_with_bl.hex for kakute V7
- connect kakute V7 via usb pushing button to be in DFU
- launching Betaflight (can see board is in DFU mode)
- charging local firmware
- activating Full chip erase
- I can see messages: USB open with success and USB close with success, but firmware was not flashed.
Did I miss a step? YES, I missed a step, update to latest RC Betaflight 10.6.0-RC2
and it works.
But at this time, seems that baro is not configured as I detect no vertical acceleration. I can provide more infos if needed to update the firmware.

So , will arducopter support the 1.5 version or should I go to kakute F7 AIO and buy new ESC?
Just be patient I opened an issue https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/12452#issuecomment-536732594
