APM 2.8 Flight Controller with Built-in Compass

APM 2.8 Multicopter Flight Controller is an upgraded version of 2.5, 2.6; 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 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.

Powerful ground control software features:

The downloadable mission planner software is used to configure and control your Ardupilot board:

1. Point-and-click waypoint entry, using Google Maps.
2. Select mission commands from drop-down menus.
3. Download mission logs files and analyzes them.
4. Configure APM settings for your airframe.
5. Interface with a PC flight simulator to create a full hardware-in-the-loop UAV simulator.
6. See the output from APMs serial terminal.
