Installing ArduPilot on an H743 Flight Controller

In this video we take a look at how to install ArduPilot on a Matek H743-SLIM flight controller. There have been plenty of videos for installing ArduPilot in the past. But, this is a different process. Most videos show how to install the bootloader firmware via BetaFlight or iNav configurator. However, with this flight controller, that can have an issue, and the erase process freezes at 50%.

In this video, I install the ArduPlane bootloader firmware via the ST STM32CubeProgrammer software. This is the full process, including erasing the flight controller, and uploading the new firmware. I am demoing with the H743-SLIM, but it will also work on all H743, F405, and F765 based flight controllers.
