Differentiating new version of Cube orange plus with better IMU from older cube orange plus

[Darius_Varno]

Good day,

We have recently received the new batch of cube autopilots with metalic surface finish, and as we understand that specifies that it is newer version with better imu sensors. As we use our custom software, we are in need of older autopilot modules until we update our code. Is the metallic surface finish the only way to differentiate older and newer cube orange plus versions?

ECN 03 balanced gyro for cube Orange plus

ECN000003 Cube Orange plus will be moving to three ICM45686 balanced gyro systems This change improves the overall performance of cube Orange plus, and is the last planed change before moving to LTS status. This will occur on the October batch

we have missed this notice, and now, as our suppliers begun stocking on new modules with upgraded IMU we are looking for older version autopilots until we update our code. So my question is if the body colour change is the only way to differnetiate between older and newer cube versions.

Not sure if version can be identified from the body color or not .
But I think you can verify the HWID using Mission Planner (check the sensor).
