An overview of the CUAV Pixhawk V5+ Cube Flight Controller
Designed for academic and commercial integrators, the CUAV Pixhawk V5+ AutoPilot is a high-end drone autopilot flight controller for academic and commercial applications. The PX4 team collaborated with CUAV to create the design for the system. An open hardware design based on Pixhawk FMUv5, this board is highly modular and uses standard PinOuts for its external interface, providing it with the ability to integrate carriers with the board. In addition to the built-in PX4 Open Source Autopilot, ArduPilot fully supports this drone flight controller out of the box.
Here’s a quick summary of what you need to know
The main FMU processor is the STM32F765
216MHz, 32 bit Arm® Cortex®-M7 processor, 2MB memory, 512KB RAM chip
The IO processor is the STM32F100
A 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M3, 24MHz, 8KB memory chip is used in this device

FAQ – CUAV V5+ Flight Controller
1. What is the CUAV V5+ used for?
It is a high-performance flight controller designed for advanced UAVs (multirotors, fixed-wing, VTOL) that require robust autonomous capabilities and professional-grade hardware.
2. Which firmware platforms does it support?
It is compatible with open-source autopilot stacks including both the PX4 Autopilot and ArduPilot ecosystems, allowing flexibility in software and system choice.
3. What are its key hardware specifications?
It uses a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M7 processor (216 MHz) with 2 MB flash and 512 KB RAM, includes multiple redundant sensors (accelerometer/gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer) and follows the FMUv5 hardware standard for robust integration.
4. What are the power and interface capabilities?
It supports a primary power input voltage around 4.3-5.4 V, a standard USB input around 4.75-5.25 V, and a servo power rail up to around 36 V. It also features numerous interfaces: multiple UARTs, I2C, SPI, CAN buses, ADC inputs for voltage/current monitoring, PWM outputs, RC input protocols (SBUS/PPM/DSM) etc.
5. What are the physical and environmental specs?
It weighs about 90-100 g, has dimensions around 85.5 × 42 × 33 mm, and is rated to operate in temperatures roughly -20 °C to +80 °C (measured value). It also incorporates a vibration-damped design and sensor redundancy for enhanced reliability.
6. Is the CUAV V5+ suitable for industrial or professional UAV deployments?
Yes — due to its high-end processor, extensive interfaces, robust sensor and power architecture, modular design for customization, and firmware compatibility, it is well suited for commercial, research, and industrial UAV systems where reliability and functionality matter.
