Px4Pilot 32Bit AutoPilot Flight Controller

Description

The PX4Pilot is one of the most advanced autopilot systems available on the market today. It is a professional level autopilot system used by researchers and others where autonomous and/or out of line of sight operations is required.

Available with support for almost any type of vehicle, aircraft or vessel, the PX4 open-hardware project is supported by a number of development communities making this one of the most flexible and reliable platforms for remote/autonomous vehicle control in the world.

Key Features
• 168 MHz / 252 MIPS Cortex-M4F
• 14 PWM / Servo outputs (8 with failsafe and manual override, 6 auxiliary, high-power compatible)
• Abundant connectivity options for additional peripherals (UART, I2C, CAN)
• Integrated backup system for in-flight recovery and manual override with dedicated processor and stand-alone power supply (fixed-wing use)
• Backup system integrates mixing, providing consistent autopilot and manual override mixing modes (fixed wing use)
• Redundant power supply inputs and automatic failover (backup system)
• External safety switch
• Multicolor LED main visual indicator
• High-power, multi-tone piezo audio indicator
• MicroSD card for high-rate logging over extended periods of time
