APM 2.8 Flight Controller with In-Built Compass We are thrilled to present to you the APM 2.8 Flight Controller with an integrated compass. For anybody looking to better their robotics or drone projects, this is a wonderful choice. This controller, an enhanced version of the APM 2.5 and 2.6, is suited for multi-rotor configurations and first-person viewpoint remote control aircraft. It works by using data from sensors to calculate the right speed for each motor, sending those commands to the Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) for smooth flight. You’ll also love the flexibility—it lets you use the built-in compass or connect an external one based on your needs. The APM 2.8 autopilot system, which is available as open-source software, has demonstrated its dependability by winning the Outback Challenge UAV competition. It can effortlessly manage preprogrammed GPS missions, regardless of you're using it to control autonomous vehicles like automobiles and boats or to fly drones. If you’re ready to take your projects to the next level, the APM 2.8 Flight Controller is a great choice. Let’s explore how it can work for you! Explore the exclusive collection of Drone Controllers . Key Features: Straight Needle design for easy connection. Arduino compatible for simple integration. 4 MB Dataflash chip for automatic data logging. Optional uBlox LEA-6H GPS module with compass. Invensense’s 6 DoF Accelerometer/Gyro MPU-6000 for accurate motion sensing. MS5611-01BA03 barometric pressure sensor for altitude measurement. Atmel’s ATMEGA2560 and ATMEGA32U-2 for reliable processing and USB functions. Wiring Diagram to use the built-in compass: To use the built-in compass, connect the jumper as indicated below. The APM board will use the external compass while the compass jumper is removed.
