Fc nickel v1.0

CUSTOM FlightController-H743

The repo contains flight controller target files, PCB Gerber files, and the schematic.

NOTE the spi lines length has a mismach that needs to be corrected

FC notes

Nickel-H473 is inspired from MAMBAH743_V4 FC

However custom pin can be used unless their usage is not compromised , STM programmer IDE can be a great help in case assigning pins.

FIRMWARE SETUP

ARDUPILOT : https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot

Target Files :libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/

Environment setup : https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/building-the-code.html

Build cmd :

./waf distclean
./Tools/scripts/build_bootloaders.py Nickel407       # Builds bootloader (outputs to Tools/bootloaders/)
./waf configure --board FlyingMoon407
./waf plane

bin/hex file are stored in build directory

It is recommended to go through ardupilot documentation First

Target Files

There are two primary target files hwdef-bl.dat (responsible for building bootloader) hwdef.dat (for main firmware)

Checkout this HW files for reference example : https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/tree/master/libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/fmuv3

Schematic & PCB

Check schematic folder
The pcb is 2 layer 47 * 60 mm

STM programmer IDE

• Pin Selection :

• For clocks use 8,16,24,32 MHz crystal (odd multiples causes issues)
