🛠️ ArduCustom Full v0.2-beta

The full variant of the ArduPlane 4.6.3 fork — every upstream hardware
backend
compiled in, plus the complete ArduCustom + fork feature set.
This is the counterpart to the flash-stripped light release:
identical fork features, but nothing removed to save flash, so it targets
H7 / 2 MB boards with room to spare.

ℹ️ Full vs light — how to tell them apart. The onboard version string
is the tell: the full build reports ArduPlane V4.6.3 ArduCustom v0.2-beta (<hash>);
the light build appends Light. Both carry the same parameters and
features — they differ only in which hardware backends (GPS / RC / battery
/ rangefinder / airspeed / CAN …) are compiled in. If your board has
≤ 1 MB flash, use the light release instead
— the full build overflows 1 MB F4.

Boards in this release

Built from 7aad7f5,
the full-variant mainline (master_custom_4.6.3):

Board MCU / Flash Free flash (full) Notes
MatekH743-bdshot H7 / 2 MB ~101 KB Matek H743-WING, bidirectional DShot
KakuteH7-Wing H7 / 2 MB 105.3 KB Holybro Kakute H743 Wing

Each asset is <board>_plane_bin_full-v0.2-beta_.zip containing the four
build products: arduplane, arduplane.apj, arduplane.bin,
arduplane_with_bl.hex. Flash the .apj via Mission Planner / QGC as a
normal firmware update.

Features

Same fork feature set as the light release — wind-aware landing selection
(LAND_WIND_BIAS / LAND_WIND_DIST / LAND_WIND_STRICT), the failsafe
emergency-landing state machine (FS_ELAND_*), Course Hold, auto-trim, the
OSD element suite, takeoff idle throttle, and the rest. See
README_CUSTOM.md
on the full branch for the complete list.

The full variant additionally keeps every upstream hardware backend that
the light variant strips: all GPS / RC / battery / rangefinder / airspeed
drivers, CAN / DroneCAN, ADSB, EFI, and the rest. If you need a backend that
isn't in the light build and your board has the flash for it, this is the
release to use.

Notes

  • KakuteH7-Wing was intentionally left out of the light fleet (it's a
    2 MB H7, outside light's "tight 1 MB F4" focus) — it belongs here, where
    the extra flash is an asset rather than overkill.
  • Both boards link with ~100 KB free, so there's comfortable headroom for
    future feature growth on the full track.
  • This is the first full-variant release; the light track is at
    light-v0.2-beta.
