Custom Professional UAV Flight Controller Design
Budget: $400 – $800 USD
I am seeking a detailed quotation for the complete hardware design, manufacturing package, and optional firmware bring-up for a custom professional UAV flight controller. The objective is to create an original, production-ready STM32H7 flight controller as the foundation of a modular UAV electronics platform.
The design must include:
- Standalone flight controller with compatibility for ArduPilot, Betaflight, and INAV.
- STM32H7 MCU (STM32H743 preferred) with long-term availability and firmware support.
- Integrated sensors: dual 6-axis IMUs, barometer, differential-pressure airspeed sensor, external GPS/compass connections.
- Comprehensive flight-control interfaces: USB Type-C, MicroSD card interface, CAN interfaces, UARTs, I²C/SPI interfaces, RC receiver input, safety-switch input, status LEDs, and more.
- Minimum of 12 configurable motor/servo outputs supporting multirotor and fixed-wing aircraft configurations.
- Reliable power architecture with low-noise regulation and protection mechanisms.
- Compact PCB design with EMI-aware placement and manufacturability considerations.
Deliverables include:
- Complete schematic and PCB layout files (KiCad preferred).
- BOM with manufacturer part numbers and lifecycle recommendations.
- Manufacturing package (Gerber files, assembly drawings).
- Firmware compatibility recommendations for ArduPilot board porting.
Optional services: Prototype bring-up support and future engineering collaboration for Revision 2 and companion computer module development.
