Schematic Assembly
After doing calculations, I’m back to actually building the schematic.
I’m not importing everything at once because that will create symbol conflicts, footprint mismatches, and ERC errors. So I’m gdoing one block at a time.
Check list
MCU
Sensors
Power Section
Safety Resistors and savior Capacitors
Not everything is imported yet because KiCad’s default sheet size feels tiny compared Flight controller schematic.

Choosing the Brain and the Inner Ear
I have choosen STM32H743VIT6 as the main MCU for my FC as STM32H7 is basically the gold standard in modern UAVs.
Sensors
IMU -BMI088
Barometer -BMP390
Compass -BMM350
Buck Converter -MP1584EN
LDO -AP2112K
Power connector -USB-C
Basic mandetory sensors are done, Now it's time for the hardest process of calculation to add resistor and capacitors.
Next part requires Physics calculation so I am going to take my nightmare sorry, NOTEBOOK

Project Genesis & Strategic Pivot
Pre planning
I’m building a custom 3D-surveying drone from scratch.
I mean actual PCB, frame, suffering.
Currently working on the flight Controller.
I have decided to make this FC on KICAD
And maybe I will be using Fusion 360 for other parts.
Basically, I’m choosing the hardest possible route instead of buying a Pixhawk like a normal person.
I am not sure if it will work in 1st attempt, But if it works?
It’s going to be insane.
A basic pre planning and list on paper
