CubePilot Cube OrangeRX+ (IMU only) Flight Controller

The Cube OrangeRX+ (IMU only) is a Flight Management Unit (FMU) module containing the processor, memory, and core sensors, but lacks onboard power regulation, connectors, and peripheral interfaces. It is designed to be plugged into a custom-designed carrier board via its 80-pin DF17 connector, providing ultimate flexibility for integrators who need tailored power distribution, I/O, and form factors, unlike all-in-one flight controllers.

The Cube OrangeRX+ is fully compatible with the ArduPilot and PX4 open-source autopilot software platforms. These ecosystems provide comprehensive support for its STM32H757 processor, triple-redundant sensors, and flexible I/O. You can flash the appropriate firmware (e.g., ArduCopter, ArduPlane, PX4) to configure it for multirotor, fixed-wing, or other vehicle types.

Triple redundancy allows the flight controller to compare data from three independent accelerometers and gyroscopes, voting on the correct values or isolating a failed sensor to maintain stable flight. Mechanical vibration isolation for two of the IMU sets filters out high-frequency noise from motors and propellers, leading to cleaner sensor data, more accurate attitude estimation, and smoother flight performance, especially on powerful or less-damped frames.

Yes, but it requires a compatible carrier board. The Cube OrangeRX+ itself outputs PWM signals with a software-selectable voltage of either 3.3V or 5V. Your custom carrier board must route these signals to the appropriate connectors and provide the necessary current. This flexibility allows you to design a carrier that supports a mix of 3.3V digital and 5V analog servos/ESCs as needed for your application.
