I'm new to the STEVAL-DRONE2 kit and would like to ask: Given that the STEVAL-FCU001V2 flight control unit includes basic sensors like the IMU and barometer, can it support the integration of additional external sensors, such as GPS modules, magnetometers, optical flow, LiDAR, or ultrasonic sensors, through STM32? And are there any specific hardware or firmware considerations I should be aware of when adding these to the system?

The STEVAL-FCU001V2 has some spare interfaces which you could use if you change the firmware accordingly. The STEVAL-DRONE2 is really a mini drone, I consider it more a proof of concept. So it will not be able to carry any but the lightest sensors.
