MICROBEAST PLUS is based on the popular MICROBEAST and starts the next level of the BEASTX flybarless revolution. MEMS sensors of the latest generation measure the aircraft‘s rotational movement with unprecedented precision and transmit the data digitally and in real time to the control system. These new sensors are insensitive to typical vibrations of a model helicopter. The casing made of plastic composite material keeps the weight of MICROBEAST PLUS sensationally low.<br />

== AR7210BX ==
The AR7210BX is a Spektrum DSMX receiver with built-in MICROBEAST PLUS flybarless technology. The flybarless hardware is basically the same (processor and sensors) and the functionality of the software also  is nearly identical to MICROBEAST PLUS. The main difference between both devices is that AR7210BX is a Spektrum receiver and in consequence can only be used in combination with a Spektrum DSM2/DSMX radio system.<br />

<br />
<br />
The AR7210BX is sold with basic flybarless firmware including an internal RPM governor function for electric or nitro/gasser helis as well as in combination with BLADE helicopters using a special BLADE specific firmware. The devices can be upgraded to Basic or ProEdition firmware containing AttitudeControl ([[Manuals:MB_Plus:Preliminary_steps_2/en|click here]] for more infos) by paid software upgrade through StudioX at any time. As higher feature levels enhance the functionality of AR7210BX we will charge some fee for these. Elementary software updates are free of charge as far as your device's feature level is affected.<br />
The AR7210BX is sold als standalone device with basic flybarless firmware including an internal RPM governor function for electric or nitro/gasser helis. It can be upgraded by paid software update to ProEdition firmware which enables enhanced features like bailout/rescue functionality (AttitudeControl) ([[Manuals:MB_Plus:Preliminary_steps_2/en|click here]] for more information). Also you can get the AR7210BX in combination with BLADE helicopters. Here a special BLADE specific firmware is installed which is preset for use with these helicopter. These devices can have different features compared to the basic firmware as part of the BLADE helicopter bundle. If you like you can convert these devices to the "standard" device with Basic or ProEdition firmware through StudioX at any time. But note that you will not be able to go back to the BLADE specific firmware as this is not offered publicly!<br />

== USB2SYS-Interface ==
The USB2SYS is an adapter which allows connection of MICROBEAST/MICROBEAST PLUS with your computer's USB port. This can be used for firmware updates of the unit or to make adjustments directly with the computer by using one of the BEASTX software solutions (BEASTX Updater, MicroSettings, StudioX). You can also use this interface in combination with the AR7200BX/AR7300BX receiver.<br />
<br />
 
== SPMA3030-Interface ==
The SPMA3030 is an adapter which allows connection of AR7200BX/AR7300BX receiver with your computer's USB port. This can be used for firmware Updates of the unit or to make adjustments directly with the computer by using one of the BEASTX software solutions (BEASTX Updater, MicroSettings, StudioX). You can also use this interface in combination with MICROBEAST/MICROBEAST PLUS.
