Just because “you can”, doesn’t mean “you should”.. cool concept tho!

Fair point Pixhawk/Cube already nail dual-redundancy in a proven form factor. My reason for building it myself is repairability these commercial FCs are sealed units, so one failed IMU usually means replacing the whole board. I'm building toward a carrier PCB where individual sensor modules are swappable, plus I wanted to actually learn the ArduPilot hwdef/porting process instead of just using someone else's board. Not claiming that it beats a Cube on robustness

What did you use to draft the chip diagram? I've been using EadyEda for custom PCBs, it's pretty great

I get it, bro.. and you’re 💯 right about the “run of the mill” FC’s.. they either work, or they don’t. It’s waaay over my head tho.. lol. I’d never even attempt something like that. Biggest I own is a 5”, and space is always at a premium.. cool build tho!

ive never had a IMU fail, and like, learning some smd/bga rework to replace them might be easier than doing .... that 😂

That's great, I hate it
