As i have used the hardware definition by MatekH743 we can already see the target available in the configurator
PCB Design
This is my first ever 8 layer design for a compact wing based fliht controller, so it is a bit messy but functional
With a Non-BGA chip i have the design pretty easy and managable with 8 layers, and it can fit small uavs easily, it comes with 5v circuit protection from external esc's and 5v from usb input
This can be powered through external 5v bec from the esc's or any other 5v power source
Steps to reproduce
U can upload the gerber to the JLCPCB and select 1oz ENIG and 1oz copper for inner layer For the assembly we only need the front side to be assembled so we can choose that and then upload the bom and designator files to get a quote on the bom and u can order the project
But if u want to hand assmeble the whole thing u can also do that by using Interactive BOM It lists all the components and u can select what all part u have sourced and what all parts are needed to be sourced and what u have placed and what not u have placed on the board
USAGE OF AI
the ai was used to create pinout i copied the hwdef from ardupilot github repo and used ai to create a pinout for me so its easier for me to update things in kicad

Questions
How big is the H7-Beast PCB?
It measures 34 × 54.8 mm and has 8 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the H7-Beast use?
84 parts, built around the DPS310XTSA1, TF-123-ARP9H17, MIC5219-3.3YM5 and ICM-42688-P. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the H7-Beast KiCad files?
From the FBIopeningUPP/H7-Beast repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is h7/h7.kicad_pcb and its schematic h7/connector1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the H7-Beast design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask FBIopeningUPP before reusing the design.
