From the project
Just a flight controller
H7 Beast is a small open source flight controller that is based of Betaflight, INav, ArduPilot and PX4 firmware. The size of the board with the features is amazing it's just 58x34mm wide and comes with all the features like external spi and canbus and 12 motor output with a single output for ws2812b leds

H7-Beast: common questions
What microcontroller does the H7-Beast use?
The H7-Beast is built around the STM32H743VITx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the H7-Beast PCB?
The H7-Beast measures 34 × 54.9 mm, has 8 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the H7-Beast?
84 components, from 40 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the H7-Beast design files?
From the FBIopeningUPP/H7-Beast repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the H7-Beast design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with FBIopeningUPP. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the H7-Beast without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
