APM 2.8 Flight Controller 2.5 2.6 Upgraded with Built-in Compass for Multi copter RC Drone Aircraft

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

• APM 2.8 Multicopter Flight Controller is an upgraded version of 2.5, 2.6; with a Built-in Compass for FPV RC Drone.

• The sensors are exactly the same as the APM 2.6 flight controller; however, the module has the option to use the built-in compass an external compass via a jumper.

• This makes the APM 2.8 ideal for use with multi-copters and rovers.

APM 2.8 Multicopter Flight Controller is an upgraded version of 2.5, 2.6; with a Built-in Compass for FPV RC Drone. The sensors are exactly the same as the APM 2.6 flight controller; however, the module has the option to use the built-in compass an external compass via a jumper. This makes the APM 2.8 ideal for use with multi-copters and rovers.

The APM 2.8 Multicopter Flight Controller is a complete open source autopilot system. This is the best selling technology that won the prestigious Outback Challenge UAV competition. It allows the user to turn any fixed, rotary-wing. In addition, it turns multirotor vehicle (even cars and boats) into a fully autonomous vehicle. meanwhile, it is capable of performing programmed GPS missions with waypoints.

 

APM Flight controller Using the built-in compass:

To use the built-in compass simply connect the jumper as shown below. The APM board will use the external compass, during the compass jumper is removed.

Features :

• Straight Needle

• Arduino Compatible

• Onboard 4 MegaByte Dataflash chip for automatic data logging.

• Optional off-board GPS, a uBlox LEA-6H module with Compass.

• One of the first open-source autopilot systems to use Invensense’s 6 DoF Accelerometer/Gyro MPU-6000.

• Barometric pressure sensor upgraded to MS5611-01BA03, from Measurement Specialties.

• Atmel’s ATMEGA2560 and ATMEGA32U-2 chips for processing and USB functions respectively.

Package Includes :

1 x APM 2.8 Multicopter Flight Controller.

2 x Connecting Wires.
