X7+ autopilot uses STM32H743 series processors CPU, Cortex-M7 core (with double precision Floating-Point Unit). It makes operating frequency increase to 480Mhz, 2MB Flash，1MB RAM，Meet the higher computing needs of flight controllers Compared with the STM32F7 product line, the dynamic power consumption efficiency is doubled.

The sensor is one of the important indicators to evaluate the flight controller. This time, we have added the ICM-42688-P sensor. Compared with the traditional consumer IMU, the noise figure of ICM-42688-P is reduced by 40%, and the temperature stability is improved 2 times, so as to ensure the highest accuracy measurement in the case of temperature changes.

Sensor Redundancy Design

Built-in three sets of accelerometers and gyroscopes, the flight controller monitors the data of multiple sensors in real time, and executes redundant switching immediately in case of failure to improve flight safety and stability.

Temperature Compensation

System

The built-in high-precision sensor temperature compensation system makes the sensor work at a constant temperature, ensuring that the sensor can operate stably with high precision and sensitivity in high and low temperature environments.

CORE Separate Design

The X7+ flight controller integrates the main MCU and IMU into the CORE module and can be sold separately. Users can design the baseboard according to the UAV structure to meet the individual needs of users, or purchase our CAN PDB baseboard for use. The X7+ CORE interface is compatible with X7, X7 Pro, and V5+ flight controller CORE.

Better CUAV Patented Shock Absorption System

After dozens of iterations, hundreds of shock-absorbing materials have been tested and verified, computer model analysis and thousands of flight tests, so improve the shock absorption to a further level

X7+ Pro is an advanced autopilot independently designed by CUAV. It uses a higher-performance STM32H7 processor and integrates industrial-grade sensors and ultra-low temperature drift sensors. Compared with the previous flight controller,it has better performance and more reliability. This board can run ArduPilot firmware perfectly. X7+ Pro is ideal for industrial drones.

Faster than ever

CUAV X7+ Pro autopilot use STM32H7 series processors, CPU operating frequency increased to 480Mhz, storage 1024K, FLASH 2048K, has a faster processor and larger storage, and uses 512K EEPROM, can expand waypoints to 2048, Bring more imagination to flight applications

Built-in shock absorption design

CUAV X7+ Pro flight controllers have a built-in and reliable CUAV patented shock absorption system, making them fearless of flight jitter!

Adapt to harsh environment

CUAV X7+ Pro autopilot adopts numerous car-level chips and has a built-in high-precision sensor temperature compensation system, which makes the sensor work at a constant temperature to ensure that the sensor can operate with high accuracy and high sensitivity in high and low temperature environments.

Always stable

Invensense + Bosch + ADI + TE series sensors are used, which have lower noise and stronger anti-shock and vibration performance. With the industrial-grade compass RM3100, the flight stability and anti-interference performance have brought a qualitative improvement

Difference between X7+ Pro and X7+?

X7+ Pro replaces the ICM-20689 chip on the X7+ with a high-end ADI16470 chip. Because of its excellent gyro and acceleration drift performance, it has been used in some cutting-edge aerospace projects in the past. This time, we introduced it into the open source flight control, which is integrated into the IMU with triple redundancy and exerts excellent performance

ADIS16470 sensor!

X7+ Pro and X7+ are only different from sensors: X7+ pro uses ADI16470 chip instead of ICM-20689 And the front logo has more Pro words, other appearance and size are the same as X7+.

Dual platform compatible

CUAV X7+ Pro Supports the current mainstream PX4 (PX4 is being adapted) and Ardupilot two open source platform firmware to meet the needs of different users.

CUAV X7 Pro Flight Controller quality

CUAV deeply cooperated with the APM & PX4 team to complete the hardware design and software adaptation of the CUAV X7 series, and was produced and tested by the CUAV smart factory. Each autopilot was used for independent I / O through the CUAV AATS system Connectivity and sensor stability test to ensure the stability and reliability of the autopilot.
