New Heli flight controller

Hi, has anyone seen this little flight controller from Steam before? Could Arducopter/ Tradheli be loaded onto it? It would be fantastic for us heli guys.

These use lower end STMs. Even if you can make a target for them they will have limited features and performance. You can get proper Ardupilot compatible boards for not much more.

$122 Aus does seem like a good price, but I would recommend sticking with controllers listed by Ardupilot Choosing an Autopilot — Copter documentation. I used an mRo R15 Pixracer for my first Arudpilot heli (TRex 500) but have used Matek H743WING boards for my second and third (Trex500 and 550) because they’re much cheaper than mRo and are available locally.

As @LupusTheCanine suggests an F722 doesn’t have sufficient flash for Arducopter.

Okay, thanks everyone for the reply. I didn’t understand the flash memory requirements for Arducopter. Makes sense now. :+1:

Where did you buy your Matek H743WING?

There is a resellers link on the Matek website.

I’m in UK so I got mine from here, I think.
