X7/X7 Pro Autopilot
X7&X7 Pro is an advanced autopilot launched in May 2020; it uses a higher performance STM32H7 series processor than the PX4 previous-generation flight controller (FMUv5), and integrates high-precision industrial-grade sensors and ultra-low temperature drift sensors. The first generation flight controller has better performance, more stable and reliable
Faster than ever
X7 series 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
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
Built-in shock absorption design
X7 series flight controllers have a built-in and reliable CUAV patented shock absorption system, making them fearless of flight jitter!
Adapt to harsh environment
The x7 series autopilot adopts a large number of 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.
Simply upgrade your V5 +
The X7 and X7 Pro autopilot adopts a modular design, which can be customized based on the drone structure, and is fully compatible with the V5 + Core autopilot interface. As simple as changing the CPU!
Difference between X7 Pro and X7?
ADIS16470 sensor!
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
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.
Optional:CUAV Cloud access hardware LTE Link
All the CUAV series of autopilot support the LTE Link series of communication links of the Lei Xun cloud platform. They communicate through 4G and 5G networks, control without distance, support real-time high-definition video transmission and video sharing, and support permission allocation and drones Team management functions.

Optional C-RTK for centimeter-level positioning
By matching the C-RTK series high-precision positioning module, the centimeter-level positioning function is expanded to meet the application scenarios of high-precision positioning such as surveying and mapping, and plant protection.
Dual platform compatible
Supports the current mainstream PX4 (PX4 is being adapted) and Ardupilot two open source platform firmware to meet the needs of different users.
Accessories include digital PMU power modules
default packing list include UAVCAN protocol digital PMU-SE digital power detection module, built-in CUAV self-developed ITT algorithm, help accurately measure the real-time voltage and current of the UAV, and make the flight time estimation more reliable.
CAN PMU SE supports up to 60V / 80A input and measurement, voltage and current accuracy reaches + -0.15V / 0.2A, and can choose higher precision CAN PMU
CUAV 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.
