Development has moved over to http://github.com/Taulabs!

This is a port of the famous OpenPilot software to the STM32F4 Discovery board with a MPU6050 Sensor.
Its name is (surprise) "discoveryf4".
Schematics and binary builds will be added soon.

Its features are:

  • STM32F407 168MHz 32bit ARM cortex-m4 power with hardware fpu
  • MPU6050 I2C gyro and accelerometer
  • FreeRTOS based OpenPilot flight control software
  • compatible to stock OpenPilot GCS (enumerates as coptercontrol)
  • 8 PWM inputs, 8 PWM outputs
  • 2 general purpose UARTs each with selectable 3V or 5V power supply
  • 45mm drills
  • its fucking big
  • easy to build yourself
  • very tiny BOM

Functional differences between CC3D and discoveryf4 are:

  • discoveryf4 does not support I2C on FlexiPort
  • discoveryf4 does not (yet) support USB VCP

The prototype looks like this: P1020877.jpg P1020879.jpg P1020880.jpg P1020881.jpg P1020890.jpg
