I wish it would come up with an integrated PDB

Hmm...3.3V near UART5.  Has a Betaflight 3.1.6 target (ANYFCF7).  I might have to try one of these just for grins

Edit: Noticed 32x32 mounting hole pattern - need a 3D-printed adapter I guess...

seems sami is working on something

his channel with the same board some time back

Oh my, f7 fc have 8 UARTs
One for receiver
Second for telemetry (if its is not like revolt f4 which has both on one port)
Third for osd
Fourth for LEDs
Fifth for vtx (tbs smart audio / tramp hv for changing channel trough BF)
Other 3 have no use for me

EDIT: esc input positions are weird, to be particular m1 m2
And what is AD, my mind is not working

EDIT 2 :it even has pwm, REALLY DUDE
And I think for a f7, MPU 6000 is not good enough and there is, as far as I remember, I better gyro
No VBAT port and 3,4,5,7,8 and 9 pads have no label

EDIT 3: seems to have bootloader pad, no boot button
And separate LED pads

I think we should have at least f1 or even f3 esc to at least gain a bit more from f7 fc,BUT I am a bit ahead of time

AD - analog digital converter?

3,4,5,7,8,9 - more motors? Decicopter!

And I see they corrected the mount-hole measurements to 30.5 x 30.5... Good!

F0 (F051x) ESCs are the optimal option right now, just no open-source one yet.

These are available now.  Just ordered one (like I really need it...)

Would love to hear your thought on it

I will let you know.  I plan to use it on the larger of my custom Armattan frames.  I doubt I have enough knowledge to thoroughly take advantage of it, but I needed an FC for that frame anyway - and thought "Why not?"  Only $33...

Wow! I was just looking at what the -45 version of the F7 chip can do. Cortex M7 CPU with clock speeds up to 216MHz, graphics co-processor, USB2 and Ethernet on-chip, 16 stream DMA controller, 50Mb/s SPI!

It's a very powerful little computer! I'm not sure there is any open firmware today that can actually take advantage of all that raw horsepower. It won't take long though...

I will also get one for review, finally able to get all the things working with dedicated uart connections.
I'm going to test it with iNAV on my 600mm quadcopter.

Hmmm what could the graphics coprocessor be used for? Interesting OSDs?

Setting up your own course with virtual race gates?

Like running VR OSD ? What I'm picturing is bad a$$
