Arducopter 2.8 Flight Control Board

The Arducopter 2.8 is a flight control board based on the Arduino Mega platform. It features an ATmega2560 microcontroller for core operations and an ATmega32u2 microcontroller for USB-to-serial conversion. In addition to the microcontrollers, the board integrates essential sensors for autonomous movement, including an accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, and magnetometer. The board also includes ESC and servo connections, as well as connectors for external sensors and telemetry.

Features:

• Fully open-source, supports aircraft, multicopters (quadcopter, tricopter, hexacopter, etc.), helicopters, and ground vehicles
• User-friendly ground station and firmware upload software
• 3D waypoint definition option via Mission Planner (for autonomous flight)
• Bidirectional telemetry support (MAVLink protocol)
• Autonomous takeoff, landing, and custom commands (for aerial imaging applications)
• Support for 8-channel PWM, S-BUS, PPM, and Spektrum Satellite receivers
• 4MB internal memory (for data-logging)
• 6-DOF MPU6000 accelerometer/gyroscope sensor
• MS5611-01BA03 barometric pressure sensor (for altitude hold)
• Supports external GPS connections
