Description:

This is the new APM 2.6 autopilot module. The sensors are exactly the same as with APM2.5+however this version does not have an onboard compasswhich makes this version ideal for use with multicopters and rovers.

The APM 2.6 is a complete open source autopilot system and the bestselling technology that won the prestigious 2012 Outback Challenge UAV competition. It allows the user to turn any fixedrotary wing or multirotor vehicle (even cars and boats) into a fully autonomous vehicle; capable of performing programmed GPS missions with waypoints. Available with top or side connectors.

This revision of the board has no onboard compasswhich is designed for vehicles (especially multicopters and rovers) where the compass should be placed as far from power and motor sources as possible to avoid magnetic interference. (On fixed wing aircraft it's often easier to mount APM far enough away from the motors and ESCs to avoid magnetic interferenceso this is not as criticalbut APM 2.6 gives more flexibility in that positioning and is a good choice for themtoo). This is designed to be used with the 3DR uBlox GPS with Compass (see option below)so that the GPS/Compass unit can be mounted further from noise sources than APM itself.

Features

• Arduino Compatible!
• Can be ordered with top entry pins for attaching connectors verticallyor as side entry pins to slide your connectors in to either end horizontally
• Includes 3-axis gyroaccelerometer and magnetometeralong with a high-performance barometer
• Onboard 4 MegaByte Dataflash chip for automatic datalogging
• Optional off-board GPSuBlox NEO-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 MS5611-01BA03from Measurement Specialties.
• Atmel's ATMEGA2560 and ATMEGA32U-2 chips for processing and usb functions respectively.
• 3DR Radio Telemetry Kit 915Mhz

- The 3DR Radio telemetry system is designed as an open source Xbee replacement radio setoffering a lower pricelonger range and superior performance to Xbee radios. It's availabl in 915Mhz; and in the following configurations:  serial board (for the air) and USB (for the ground).

- The radio is a 2-way half-duplex wireless communication system with a standard TTL UART interfacebased on HopeRF's HM-TRP data link modulesand custom firmware that improves upon the modules' original features and performance.

- The SiK firmware includes a bootloader that permits radio firmware upgrades over the serial interfaceand radio firmware with configurable parameters. Firmware upgrades and configuration are fully supported in the APM Mission Planner. Configuration is also possible through AT commands.

Introduction:

• MAVLink-OSD is an Arduino based project and it is fully compatible with original MinimOSD.
• This board can be used for CRIUS AIOP and Arduflyer / ArduPilot-Mega.
• MAVLink-OSD with switching DC/DC stepdown powersupply to maximize efficiency on power system. No more heating problems when using this OSD board.
• Default OSD Firmware is MinimOSD-Extrawritten by Gábor Zoltán.

Power Module is a simple way of providing your APM/Arduflyer with clean power from a LiPo battery as well as current consumption and battery voltage measurementsall through a 6P cable. The on-board switching regulator outputs 5.3V and a maximum of 3A from up to a 7S LiPo battery.

Note: The Power Module is only designed to power APM/Arduflyera RC receiver and accessories (GPSRadio telemetry). It is not designed to power servos. Use your aircraft's own ESC/BEC for that.

Hardware Features:

• ATMEGA328P Microcontroller
• MAX7456-EUI monochrome on-screen display
• 5V/500mA DC/DC regulator for MAX7456-EUI
• Operating voltage: 5V(FTDI connector) and 12V(Video I/O connector)
• Supported NTSC & PAL
• FTDI connector

Software features:

• Full MAVLink protocol support
• Graphical configurator tool
