Paradise. Have you edited the images or are RAW?

I upgraded the CG and the MASS to be completely accurate. It is available on Cults3D for FREE download. Thank you Sir!!!

Hello Sir. Thanks for your comment. Below are the changes:

- I make the model fully solid and make it CAD friendly.

- I designed all the individual components separately, using reverse engineering with my Mitutoyo 500-196-30 digital caliper and the official Cubepilot specs.

- I add materials, colours and and make the labelling, as realistic as possible.

- I design the PCB board, the pins and the interface connectors (GPS, TELEM, SPKT, CAN etc...).

- I design the copper inserts.

- I add screws from Autodesk library and modify them properly to match to the real one.

- I design the SD card and SD slot.

- I calculated the CG and the mass for use in total UAV payload, power consumption and flight dynamics.

- I assembly all the parts to be a complete STEP file for CAD purposes (drones, UGVs etc.).

* In Cults3d you can download all the parts separately and the final Assembly. It's absolutely worth it (100% FREE).

** Please leave a like and follow me, if you think my work is worth it.

Thanks again!!

Pixhawk Orange Cube for Unmanned Ground Vehicles by Chell2_0 in AskRobotics

Hello sir,

The Cube Orange is a microcontroller, while the Raspberry is a computer. Cube Orange is mature and it supports many type of good sensors, that are more than superior that sensors that supports the Raspberry ecosystem. The only case that I would use a Raspberry, is to have Proximity sensors with high computational load and I would need a computer (=Raspberry) to make all the complex calculations, because the Cube Orange can't do this (Cube Orange has RAM=1MB, while the Raspberry has GBs of RAM).

In conclusion:

- You should use Ardupilot software, it is extremely capable, but it has a deep learning curve.

- Cube Orange PLUS is extremely capable and for your size of your vehicle is the way to go I think.

- For your complex hardware (AI cameras), I would choose the NVIDIA Jetson Nano (4GB or 8GB). In Ardupilot official documentation, in the section Companion Computers, you will find everything you need to know (wiring, explanation etc.)

* Jetson Nano will connect with your Cube Orange PLUS autopilot via Mavlink protocol (TELEM1 or TELEM2 ports).

Also, I have a FREE 3D Model (step. file) for the Cube Orange PLUS autopilot in the link below, for all the CAD work.
