Description

The OpenPilot CC3D EVO flight controller is built on a compact 36x36mm 4-layer PCB designed to minimize electrical noise and enhance flight stability. Its core processing is handled by a powerful STM32 32-bit microcontroller operating at 90 MIPS, paired with a high-performance MPU6000 IMU delivering precise 3-axis attitude data. The side-pin variant offers a 90-degree connector orientation for streamlined wiring integration in tight frame builds.

Hardware support includes direct input for Spektrum/JR DSM2/DSMJ/DSMX satellite receivers and Futaba S.BUS, alongside traditional PWM and combined PPM streams. The configurable FlexiPort provides flexible I/O options for serial telemetry, GPS modules, or I2C peripherals. The controller runs the OpenPilot firmware, featuring a quaternion-based complementary filter at 500Hz for stable multirotor flight control.

Key Features

  • High-performance STM32 32-bit processor with 128KB Flash and 20KB RAM.
  • MPU6000 3-axis MEMs gyro and accelerometer for precise flight stabilization.
  • Side-pin connector layout for direct satellite receiver plug-in, eliminating adapter cables.
  • FlexiPort technology enables dual serial port or I2C configuration for expanded connectivity.
  • 4-layer PCB design (36x36mm) provides superior electrical noise immunity.
  • Native support for PWM, PPM, Spektrum satellite, and Futaba S.BUS receiver protocols.
  • Plug-and-play USB connectivity with driver-free operation on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
  • 4 Mbit onboard EEPROM for configuration storage and firmware updates.

Applications

  • DIY multirotor and quadcopter builds requiring a compact, configurable flight controller.
  • FPV racing or freestyle drones utilizing Spektrum satellite or S.BUS receivers for reduced wiring.
  • Aerial photography platforms needing stable attitude control and optional GPS/telemetry expansion.
  • Educational and hobbyist projects leveraging the OpenPilot open-source firmware and GCS.
  • Micro and mini drone frames where side-pin connector orientation simplifies internal layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the input voltage requirement for the CC3D EVO flight controller?

The CC3D EVO requires a regulated 5V input. This voltage is typically supplied via a BEC from your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) or a separate 5V regulator. Exceeding this voltage can damage the board's microcontroller and sensors.

How does the side-pin layout differ from the straight-pin CC3D EVO?

The side-pin variant features connectors mounted at a 90-degree angle, allowing for direct, flush connection to satellite receivers and cleaner cable routing in constrained frames. There is no functional or firmware difference between the side-pin and straight-pin versions; only the physical orientation of the pins differs.

What receiver protocols are supported by the CC3D EVO?

The controller supports multiple protocols: standard PWM (up to 6 channels), combined PPM stream, Spektrum/JR DSM2/DSMJ/DSMX satellite receivers, and Futaba S.BUS. The MainPort and FlexiPort are configurable within the OpenPilot Ground Control Station (GCS) to accommodate your chosen receiver type.

Can I use GPS with this flight controller?

Yes, GPS modules can be connected via the configurable FlexiPort or MainPort when set to serial mode in the OpenPilot GCS. This allows for position-hold, return-to-home, and autonomous flight modes when using compatible firmware that supports GPS functionality.

What software is needed to configure the CC3D EVO?

Configuration is performed using the OpenPilot Ground Control Station (GCS) software, which is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The board connects via a standard mini-USB cable (not included) and operates in plug-and-play mode without requiring additional drivers.
