APM 2.8 Flight Controller with Built-in Compass
If you’re looking to dive into electronics and build your own drone, the APM 2.8 Multicopter Flight Controller is an excellent option. This controller processes data from sensors to calculate the optimal speed for each motor and communicates this information to the Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs), which then signal the motors. The APM 2.8 is an upgraded version of its predecessors, featuring a built-in compass for FPV RC drones while maintaining the same sensors as the APM 2.6. It allows users to switch between the internal compass and an external one, making it versatile for multirotors and rovers.
As a fully open-source autopilot system, the APM 2.8 has been recognized as the technology behind the winning entry in the Outback Challenge UAV competition. It enables any fixed or rotary-wing vehicle, as well as multirotors (including cars and boats), to become fully autonomous, capable of executing pre-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.
Powerful ground control software features:
The downloadable mission planner software is used to configure and control your APM board:
- Point-and-click waypoint entry, using Google Maps.
- Select mission commands from drop-down menus.
- Download mission logs files and analyzes them.
- Configure APM settings for your airframe.
- Interface with a PC flight simulator to create a full hardware-in-the-loop UAV simulator.
- See the output from APM’s serial terminal.
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.
