Hardware Review

FPV flight-controller and ESC review checklist.

Use this when reviewing SkyPilot H743, the 75A 4-in-1 ESC, or comparable FPV hardware designs.

Flight-Controller Review

  • Confirm power rails, regulator headroom, decoupling, and boot behavior.
  • Check IMU SPI routing, DRDY wiring, interrupt assumptions, and ground return paths.
  • Review USB, UART, GPS, barometer, buzzer, LED, receiver, and motor outputs against the INAV target.
  • Look for vibration coupling, IMU mounting risks, and nearby switching-noise sources.

ESC Review

  • Trace battery input, phase output, MOSFET, gate-driver, and current-return paths.
  • Check switching-loop area, gate resistance assumptions, bootstrap routing, and thermal bottlenecks.
  • Review DSHOT signal routing, ground reference, connector placement, and assembly risks.
  • Flag anything that needs bench testing before high-current load.
