The Cube Orange+ IB
The Cube Orange+ IB Adds Extra Vibration Isolation for Combustion-Engine Platforms
The Cube Orange+ IB runs the exact same electronics as the standard Cube Orange+ — the same STM32H757 flight management unit, the same triple-redundant IMU sensor set — but adds firmer internal vibration-damping foam and removes the counterweight used on the standard module. This gives it better isolation from the stronger, lower-frequency vibration produced by combustion (gas) engines, making it the right choice for combustion-powered platforms rather than the electric-motor setups the standard Cube Orange+ is tuned for.
Key Features of The Cube Orange+ IB
Powerful STM32H757 processor
2MB flash, 1MB RAM — identical to the standard Cube Orange+ FMU.
Triple redundant IMUs
Three IMUs, two barometers, and a magnetometer for reliable state estimation.
Enhanced vibration isolation
Firmer damping foam, no counterweight — built for combustion-engine platforms with a stronger vibration profile.
Standard DF17 connector
Plug-and-play with any CubePilot-compliant carrier board.
Frequently Asked Questions About The Cube Orange+ IB

- S.Bus servo output and an analog/PWM RSSI input
- 5 general-purpose serial ports, two with full flow control
- 2 I2C ports and 1 SPI port
- 2 CAN Bus interfaces
- 3 analog inputs
- Redundant power supply with automatic failover
- Safety switch/LED and a high-power RGB LED driver
