APM 2.8 Flight Controller Kit + GPS Antenna + Telemetry

Product Description

This is the new and latest autopilot module. Updated and increased stabiltiy control.

Some of its key features:

• Arduino Compatible
• Can be ordered with top entry pins for attaching connectors vertically, or as side entry pins to slide your connectors in to either end horizontally
• Includes 3-axis gyro, accelerometer and magnetometer, along with a high-performance barometer
• Onboard 4 MegaByte Dataflash chip for automatic datalogging
• Optional off-board GPS, uBlox LEA-6M 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.
• This version eliminates the 1.0mm 6P SM06B GPS interface of V2.52 old version, and change it into DF13-4P I2C external compass interface.
• - Put DF13-5P GPS interface with external compass interface, convenient for the connection of GPS and externalcompass.
• - V2.52 I2C interface changes to multifunctional MUX interface
• - Modified version added isolation resistor, when the OSD interface used with telemetry, the interfaces is effectively avoided
• - V2.52 version 3.5V power supply adopts IPS79133, 6V withstand voltage, output current 100mA, need to supply power for six IC, slightly inadequate power supply ability, easy to be burnt down. The new version adopts US LP2985-3.3, 16V withstand voltage, more reliable, redcucing the possibility of Bad Gyro health

APM V2.8.0 Flight Controller      

• - Needle: staight or side pin.
• - Power supply: LP2985-3.3
• - Max voltage: 16V
