Overview & Technical Specification

Durandal is a flight controller designed by Holybro utilizing the STM32H7 microcontroller series. As an increasing number of drone companies and developers need to run more powerful models and build on more embedded memory capabilities, Durandal is designed to offer the performance upgrade for development needs.

The advantage will come in handy with intensive calculation features are required. Harnessing our extensive controller building experience in the past years, we have implemented a new vibration absorption system into the mechanical design of the hardware and integrated an IMU heater for sensor temperature control.

Key Design Points:

• High performance H7 Processor with a clock speed up to 480 MHz

• Redundant inertial measurement unit (IMU) from Bosch® & InvenSense®

• Vibration isolation system to filter out high frequency vibration and reduce noise to ensure accurate readings

• IMUs are temperature-controlled by onboard heating resistors, allowing the optimum working temperature of IMUs

• 2 power ports & 5 general purpose serial ports
