A high-performance 6-axis sensor used to measure rotational rates (angular velocity) for stabilization.
The board is built around the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M architecture, providing the necessary processing power for complex sensor fusion and PID control algorithms.
This design allows students to compare different methods of attitude estimation, such as using pre-calculated data from the BNO080 versus implementing custom sensor fusion (Kalman filters, Madgwick algorithms, or complementary filters) using raw data from the ICM-20602. Hardware Architecture & Connectivity
Learning how to merge accelerometer and gyroscope data to calculate a drone's precise orientation.
The is a specialized flight controller (FC) designed primarily for educational purposes, specifically for the M-HIVE "STM32 Drone Programming from Scratch" course. Unlike mainstream commercial flight controllers that rely on open-source firmware like Betaflight or iNav, the MH-FC V2.2 serves as a "bare-metal" hardware platform for students to learn how to write high-performance drone firmware in C from the ground up. Core Technical Specifications
A unique feature of the MH-FC V2.2 is its dual Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) configuration:
Often paired with a dedicated BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) to regulate voltage from LiPo batteries for the electronics. Educational Significance
Used primarily for obtaining accurate rotation angles (attitude) with ease.
Requires an ST-Link V2 programmer for flashing custom firmware directly to the MCU.
Multiple UARTs for connecting radio receivers (e.g., FlySky), GPS modules, and telemetry systems.
