X7+ Pro AutoPilot
X7+ Pro® is an advanced autopilot independently designed by CUAV®. It uses a higher-performance STM32H7 processor and integrates industrial-grade sensors and ultra-low temperature drift sensors. Compared with the previous flight controller,it has better performance and more reliability. This board can run ArduPilot firmware perfectly. X7+ Pro is ideal for industrial drones.
[!TIP] X7+ Pro autopilot is a derivative version of X7 Pro. From January 1, 2022, X7+ Pro will replace X7 Pro; X7+ Pro is perfectly compatible with ArduPilot 4.10/PX4 V1.12.3 and higher firmware.X7+ Pro supports monitoring Servo port voltage, the maximum input voltage of Servo port is 10V; other parts have no difference.

Size and Pinouts
[!Warning] The RCIN port is limited to powering the rc receiver and cannot be connected to any power/load.
Voltage Ratings
- Nora AutoPilot can be triple-redundant on the power supply if three power sources are supplied. The two power rails are: Power A, Power C and *USB.
[!NOTE] The output power rails PWM OUT (0V to 10V) do not power the flight controller board (and are not powered by it). You must supply power to one of Power A, Power C or USB or the board will be unpowered.
Normal Operation Maximum Ratings
Under these conditions all power sources will be used in this order to power the system:
- POWERA and POWERC inputs (4.5V to 5.4V)
- USB input (4.75V to 5.25V)
Building ArduPilot Firmware
./waf configure --board CUAV-x7
./waf copter --upload
Debug Port
The system's serial console and SWD interface operate on the DSU7 port. Simply connect the FTDI cable to the DSU7 connector (the product list contains the CUAV FTDI cable).
