SPIDER Automation Aocoda F7 MINI V1.0 Flight Controller | STM32F722RET6 & MPU6500 | 3–6S LiPo & BMP280
Description
The Aocoda F7 MINI V1.0 Flight Controller is a compact and lightweight flight-control solution designed for Huafei drone systems. It uses the data collected by its onboard sensors to calculate the desired speed for each motor and sends the resulting control commands to the Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs), which convert the commands into signals that the motors can understand.
The flight controller is built around an ARM STM32F722RET6 main control processor and incorporates an MPU6500 IMU for motion sensing. The MPU6500 is designed with high vibration tolerance and supports gyro sampling up to 8kHz through an SPI interface, providing the sensing capability required for responsive flight-control systems.
An integrated BMP280 barometer provides barometric sensing for compatible flight-control functions. The board supports a 3–6S LiPo battery input and includes one C-Type power port for power connection.
With a specified weight of only 6g, the Aocoda F7 MINI V1.0 is suitable for compact drone and multirotor installations where low weight, efficient sensor processing and a small flight-control platform are required.
